The guy who took hostages and shot people at the Planned Parenthood clinic is a terrorist. He engaged in violence that targeted civilians and had political aims ("no more baby parts").
There is an understandable reluctance on the part of news organizations to point this out, because to point this out is to acknowledge that the GOP is stoking the fears and animus of these far right terrorists. Fox News is a mainline feed of lies and distortions about the America we live in, that creates a feedback chamber that motivates increasingly violent and strident extremists.
But that 3 year old from Syria is what has Ted Cruz terrified.
