Trump Slams Cruz in Brutal New Ad… Again

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has released a new ad in South Carolina slamming rival Ted Cruz just days before the two go head to head in the next Republican nominating contest.

The short video opens with an image of Trump giving the thumbs up before moving on to criticize Cruz in a bid to win over voters.

As unflattering images of Cruz flash up on screen, the video’s narrator states that Cruz “talks from both sides of his mouth on amnesty” for undocumented immigrants. Damaging headlines which cite Fox News, such as “Cruz Challenged on Immigration Flip-Flop,” also show on screen throughout the duration of the video.

The ad moves on to depict an image of Cruz staring at the Wall Street sign as he is accused of taking “more than $1 million in sweetheart loans from Wall Street banks” without disclosing them.

The video then goes on to mention Cruz’s “dirty tricks” and remind viewers of his attempts to “sabotage Ben Carson with false rumors” as an image of Republican presidential hopeful Carson appears on screen.

The ad ends with the narrator stating:

“Ted Cruz, the worst kind of Washington insider who just can’t be trusted.”

The ad, designed to depict Cruz as a liar and a thief, comes just days after Cruz released his own ad which mocks Trump and raises questions about his character.

It seems the two men have gone head to head as they try to secure more voters before the upcoming contest in South Carolina.

Although Trump knows he has little chance of winning over Cruz’s evangelical supporters it seems he is aiming his ad at the large conservative Tea Party faction in South Carolina that he and Cruz are now fighting over.
