Donald Trump is airing a new television ad that bashes Ted Cruz as “the worst kind of Washington insider.”
The 30-second spot that started airing Tuesday says Cruz of “talks from both side of his mouth” on allowing immigrants who are in the country illegally to stay, and took “sweetheart” loans from Wall Street banks when he ran for Senate in 2012. Then the narrator says Cruz’s presidential campaign employed “dirty tricks” when it sent word to Iowans on the night of that state’s caucuses that Ben Carson might be dropping out.
Cruz is “the worst kind of Washington insider, who just can’t be trusted,” the Trump ad concludes, showing Cruz’s “TrusTED” campaign slogan.
Trump’s latest commercial is part of a nearly $500,000 ad buy there.
South Carolina is the next state to vote in the GOP nomination fight, on Feb. 20.
