Yesterday Bill Hemmer tweeted that someone had defaced the statue of George Washington in NYC with red paint:

Ted Cruz responded overnight to this, saying “Father of our country. These leftist vandals hate America.”

The NY Post even posted video of these vandals:
Trump tweeted today they have them on tape and are tracking them down, saying “We are tracking down the two Anarchists who threw paint on the magnificent George Washington Statue in Manhattan. We have them on tape. They will be prosecuted and face 10 years in Prison based on the Monuments and Statues Act.”

I hope they parade these anarchists on TV for us all to see. That’s what needs to happen to stop others from doing the same. This is getting way out of control.
