Crowd member repeatedly said some Democrats \u2018should be shot\u2019 during Ted Cruz\u2019s speech, without senator responding<\/p>\n
On the night Republicans gathered to mourn the killing of Charlie Kirk and warn against the dangers of violent rhetoric, a crowd at the party\u2019s irregular midterm convention in Dallas repeatedly called for a sitting Senate candidate to be shot, while the Republican senator at the podium never denounced or even noted the outbursts.<\/p>\n
The outbursts came repeatedly during Ted Cruz\u2019s Thursday night address at the American Airlines center, when he named a Democrat he accused of holding radical views. After the senator mentioned the New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, video footage depicts at least one audience member shouting: \u201cHe should be shot!\u201d The same cry followed when Cruz named Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and again after he named Texas Senate candidate James Talarico.
