Ted Cruz actually said...

"What you are focusing on doing, which is bringing the criminal laws to bear, stopping and punishing violent criminals, is critically important, and I commend you for that service."

"Constitutional rights are designed to be protected not just when they are popular."

"The focus of law enforcement should be on criminals, and we should be unstinting in protecting communities."

"I think that is due in part to vigorous enforcement, getting guns out of the hands of violent criminals."
