Was wonderful of Sen. Ted Cruz, the way he responded to hecklers confronting him at the airport.
"You think that putting a sexual assaulter on the court is a victory for women?" one of the protesters asks. The protesters then continue to press Cruz about the nomination.
And, Cruz responds, "Thank you for expressing your First Amendment rights."
"Shame on you, Ted Cruz," one of the women says.
"God bless you, Ma'am," Cruz says.
Cruz did not lose his temper, but was civil and respectful of the hecklers.
Public debate is one of the great liberties of a free nation. But, when the two sides belittle and get ugly with each other, this great freedom is tainted. To see Cruz set an example for us all is a wonderful thing.
Make America great again? I don't know that anything else would mean America was great more than its people's willingness to be civil when they disagree with each other.
