Ted Cruz and Donald Trump in Feud over South Carolina Campaign Ad

HeadlineFeb 18, 2016

Ahead of the Republican South Carolina primary on Saturday, candidates Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are feuding over a Cruz campaign TV ad that accuses Trump of having been pro-choice in the past. The ad, airing in South Carolina, features a clip from a 1999 Trump interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press.” In the interview, Trump says he is “pro-choice in every respect.” In response, the Trump campaign sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Cruz campaign. Trump has also threatened to sue Cruz for defamation if the campaign continues to air the ad. A recent Bloomberg poll shows Trump with a 19-point lead over Cruz in South Carolina.
