Donald Trump calls Ted Cruz “unstable,” a “liar” and threatens lawsuit

As if Saturday’s Republican presidential debate wasn’t harsh enough, Donald Trump turned it up Monday in an attack on fellow candidate U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, calling him “unstable,” and the “biggest liar I’ve ever come across.” Trump then threatened to sue Cruz.

Trump took issue with how Cruz had characterized Trump’s stands on Supreme Court appointments, abortion, ObamaCare and gun rights.

“Ted Cruz is a totally unstable individual,” Trump declared in a news release. “He is the single biggest liar I’ve ever come across, in politics or otherwise, and I have seen some of the best of them. His statements are totally untrue and completely outrageous. It is hard to believe a person who proclaims to be a Christian could be so dishonest and lie so much.”

Trump said he could sue Cruz challenging his qualification to be president, because he was born in Canada, and said he will do so immediately if Cruz does not take down “his false ads and retract his lies.”

Trump also called out the Republican National Committee, saying it should intervene or be in default of its pledge to him.

“Cruz has become unhinged and is lying with the hopes that his statements will go unchecked until after the election and he will save his failing campaign,” Trump stated.
