Originally published at: CRUZ RIPS CASTRO: Ted Cruz Says Publishing GOP Donors’ Identities ‘Wrong’ and ‘Hateful’ | Sean Hannity
Texas Senator Ted Cruz slammed Rep. Joaquin Castro’s decision to publish the identities of San Antonio Trump donors this week; calling on all sides to “tone the hateful partisan rhetoric way down” in the aftermath of two mass shootings.
“EVERYONE needs to tone the hateful partisan rhetoric way down. This is WRONG & Castro should retract it. In our constitutional Republic, the People rightly hold their representatives accountable; elected representatives should not be vilifying & doxxing their own constituents,” posted Cruz on social media.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy called Castro’s post “shameful and dangerous.”
“Targeting and harassing Americans because of their political beliefs is shameful and dangerous. What happened to ‘when they go low, we go high?’ Or does that no longer matter when your brother is polling at 1%? Americans deserve better,” posted McCarthy on Twitter.
“How low have Dems sunk?” Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh tweeted. “This is Joaquin Castro, Congressman & chair of his brother’s campaign. Naming private citizens & their employers, targeting them for their political views and exercising 1st Amendment rights.”
