Ted Cruz: “One guide, called the quote, de arrest primer, teaches…”

“Many of the manuals, which are being shared via phone group chats with students across the country, encourage, quote, militancy and instruct protesters to break laws, seize buildings, vandalize them, and then use tactics to evade police detection and arrest. One guide, called the quote, de arrest primer, teaches protesters to physically resist arrest, or in some cases, to assault police officers or throw projectiles at them to protect fellow comrades. Let's be clear. These are communists. They call each other, comrade from arrest quote each de arrest is a micro intifada which can spread and inspire others till we may finally shake off this noxious ruling order altogether.” (16:50–17:07)
