Ted Cruz - Republican Town Hall, South Carolina
Cruz slams Trump over lawsuit threat. Ted Cruz at CNN town hall: I 'laughed out loud' at Donald Trump letter. Ted Cruz said Wednesday night that he "laughed out loud" when he learned of the cease-and-desist letter Donald Trump's campaign sent his team for running an ad highlighting his opponent's former position on abortion rights."This has not been a typical race by any sense," Cruz said at CNN's South Carolina town hall ahead of Saturday's Republican primary. Cruz, Trump's closest rival in the state, defended the ad in question, saying it largely uses Trump's "own words" to demonstrate the businessman's past stance in favor of abortion rights."It is quite literally the most ridiculous theory I've ever heard, that telling the voters what Donald Trump's actual record is is deceitful and lying," he told moderator Anderson Cooper.
