Ted Cruz accused Donald Trump of saying “anything to try to get elected” and that “truth is not a barrier for him.” In an interview with THE WEEKLY STANDARD, Cruz said the Trump campaign’s claim that the Texas senator illegally coordinated with a super PAC was untrue, adding that it fit a pattern of the New York businessman lashing out after losing, as he did Tuesday in the Wisconsin primary.
“Donald has a simple pattern. When he loses, he gets angry. He yells, he screams, he insults, he often curses,” said Cruz. But Trump’s statement after Tuesday’s primary wasn’t a mere insult—the campaign claimed without evidence that Cruz and super PACs supporting him had engaged in illegal activity. Cruz denied the charge but stopped short of saying Trump’s campaign was lying about it.
