On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace asked Donald Trump about Ted Cruz making Mike Tyson’s endorsement of Trump into a campaign issue.
“The Cruz campaign is making an issue of your support for Mike Tyson back during the time of the rape conviction in 1992. Your reaction to that?”
“It just shows what a liar he is,” replied Trump. “So, Mike Tyson over the Internet endorsed me. He said, ‘I endorse Mr. Trump.’ He said that. That was it. No big deal, I didn’t have a meeting or anything, I haven’t seen Mike in years, but he said he endorsed me. So, Cruz is now saying, ‘oh, he was a rapist.’ This guy is a real liar. That’s why we call him Lyin’ Ted Cruz. I mean, the greatest liar that I’ve ever lived, except he gets caught every time.”
But Trump did not demonstrate in any way that Cruz is lying. Tyson did endorse Trump (he proudly touts Tyson’s support) and Tyson is a convicted rapist.
