I've looked and this is what I found with regard to Cruz denouncing the riots at Trump rallies.

What I hear from the lips of Mr Cruz is his laying the blame for the actions of the so-called protestors, which are far more likely to be operatives set in motion to interdict the American process, at the feet of Mr Trump. According to Cruz, Trump actively encourages this sort of thing. A charge which I find to be preposterous and blatantly false.

It would appear to me that Mr Cruz knows how to take liberties with liable laws without getting into any trouble for having done so. Trump has not called for violence, although he may have pointed it out on the campaign trail.

Many Trump supporters are exercising some very selective outrage at Trump's political opponents. Watching protesters getting dragged away as Trump taunts them and his supporters roar with applause is just part of the floor show at Trump rallies.

The groups supplying Trump with a steady stream of protesters are just answering Trump's casting call. Standing in front of his supporters dealing with villainous protesters keeps the clock running and minimizes the time that Trump has to fill with intelligent discourse.

Free publicity and a basis for claiming himself to be a victim are just part of Trump's cynical campaign strategy. The protesters get free publicity for their causes. It is a win-win for all involved, except for those on the receiving end of a punch or kick.

Tyrants have been providing similar distractions to people in exchange for political support for millenia. The practice has been proven effective in many cultures over the centuries.

Below are a few examples of Trump's inflammatory rhetoric. His tactics are working, so I don't expect him to change them much.

Your idea of what constitutes a "blantantly false" statement is apparently much different than mine. As for libel suits, Trump has already proven that he lacks the courage to follow through on his empty threats to file nuisance lawsuits against Ted Cruz.

The last video clip shows an example of a cool headed, courageous man dealing with protesters - a real leader who does not draw his courage from a mob.
