The Texas senator and presidential candidate argued that “at the end of the day, every candidate bears responsibility for their campaign, for the behavior of their campaign and to see a reporter physically assaulted raises real questions and it raises real questions about how the Trump campaign treats the voters, how they treat the press, how they treat protesters– all of them, they treat them as enemies.” (RELATED: Breitbart’s Michelle Fields And Ben Shapiro Resign)
