Some South Carolina television stations are pulling a negative television advertisement from a group supporting Ted Cruz because of the claims it makes against Marco Rubio.
A spot from Stand for Truth Inc., a shadowy super PAC formed just a few months ago, had spent $125,000 to air the spot titled "Sanctuary" on Iowa television and on digital platforms, according to advertising tracker CMAG/Kantar Media. The group has not shared much information about its advertising plans, and is using a high number of companies to receive and direct donations. The group had begun to air the ads in South Carolina before the legal team for one media company, Media General, determined it had to be pulled.
The decision by television stations was first reported by The New York Times.
It is not uncommon for campaigns to try and litigate the fairness of attack advertisements with television stations, though the advertiser usually does not order a spot to be removed from the airwaves. And there is no evidence that other South Carolina television representatives find the ad similarly objectionable.
Randy Ingram, the general manager for WBTW, the CBS affiliate in Myrtle Beach, said the company received a cease-and-desist order and that Media General, which also operates a CBS and NBC affiliate in the Upstate and Charleston areas, decided to honor it.
"I'm not sure why legal decides we run something different," Ingram said, declining to say who specifically had requested the ad be pulled. He said Stand for Truth replaced "Sanctuary" with a different spot in its advertising rotation.

Stand for Truth is Cruz’s sleazy Super PAC that is taking millions of dollars in anonymous, money laundered donations from straw LLCs. No surprise they would be up to Nixonian dirty tricks in SC with that dirty money.
Cruz is relentless sleeze. He is absolutely finished. He is repulsive. I tried— I really tried but this jerk has no boundaries. Even his closest supporters here have stopped.
As I said before, Roe's eyes are setting off my gaydar alarm.
He is falling behind and is getting desperate.
I predict a meltdown.
So the PAC Stand for Truth backs the single worst liar Mr. Trump has ever seen, Cruz. What irony. What hypocrisy. What evil.
God Bless Mr. Trump.
There is no bigger sleaze than Ted Cruz. When will Cruzers wake up?
SPRINK,
Good job supporting this guy.......wow.....quite the morals Cruz has.........
I’ll continue to support Trump, but thanks for playing.
Must’ve been an effective ad.
I am starting to think, these guys are deliberately poisoning the well.
At this point in time, there is not one of the candidates running for President, Republican or Democrat I would vote for.
A Pox on both of their houses.
Looks like my vote will be going to the American Constitution or Libertarian candidate. The devil take the hindmost.
shaking my head in disgust.
Enjoy President Hillary.
Here we go again. Many are seeing and saying the same thing about Cruz. Now we see another story about Cruz’s unethical campaign. His false AD against Trump also needs to be pulled.
I hate when Cruz says he never attacks anyone. He just lies.
A lot of Trump supporters don’t understand the difference between a PAC and a candidate’s campaign. However, that doesn’t seems to prevent them from repeating baseless accusations ad nauseum.
Cruz is great. The super pac acts on its own, and frankly they are entitle to express their opinion on the airwaves just like anyone else. Those who disagree can counter it.
Thomas Jefferson: “Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.”
Debate, disagreement, free speech and a free press are vital to a Constitutional republic.
It’s not Cruz. It’s a PAC.
Don’t blame Cruz for something a group of apparent supporters does.
Sleazy springwater13 at it again!
Where did Cruz attack anyone in this instance?
He didn’t. A PAC did.
Man, you Trumpbots are so eager to hate Cruz that you just make stuff up.
