“Here is the simple and undeniable fact: the overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats,” Cruz said. “The media doesn’t report that.”

“There is a reason why the Democrats for years have been viewed as soft on crime,” Cruz said. “They go in and appoint to the bench judges who release violent criminals.

“They go in and they do what Barack Obama tried to do, which is appoint a lawyer who voluntarily represented for free a cop killer to a senior Justice Department position, that they go in and fight to give the right to vote to convicted felons,” the Texas senator said. “Why? Because the Democrats know that convicted felons tend to vote Democrat. … The media never reports on any of that. It doesn’t want to admit any of that.”

The 2016 hopeful and Iowa front-runner went on to tell the host that the situation is “one of the more egregious examples” of media bias.
