Ted Cruz had a message for Donald Trump during a press conference in Seneca, SC Wednesday: Go ahead and sue me.
The Trump campaign has threatened Ted Cruz with a lawsuit claiming defamation in one of Cruz's recent TV ads. The ad attacks Trump's record on abortion by running old clips of the candidate describing himself as "very pro-choice."
At the press conference, Cruz called the cease and desist letter one of the most "frivolous" he's ever seen, and noted Trump's lifetime pattern of frivolous lawsuit threats.
Watch the clip of the press conference below:
In the last few days Trump has been smearing Ted Cruz as a liar, going as far as calling him the most dishonest person in the race at last Saturday's GOP debate. He has been specifically upset about Cruz casting Trump as pro-choice and a supporter of Planned Parenthood.
Here's the ad Trump is referring to:
Cruz said if the lawsuit goes through he will "depose [Trump] himself."

Teddy trying to get some of the spotlight. Hey look over here at me.
Q: Evangelicals want to feel secure that they're going to have a nominee that's solid on those social issues.
A: One thing about me, I'm a very honorable guy. I'm pro-life, but I changed my view a number of years ago. One of the primary reasons I changed [was] a friend of mine's wife was pregnant, and he didn't really want the baby. He was crying as he was telling me the story. He ends up having the baby and the baby is the apple of his eye. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to him. And you know here's a baby that wasn't going to be let into life. And I heard this, and some other stories, and I am pro-life.
Q: So those stories did change you, they came around and changed you?
A: They changed me. Yeah, they changed my view as to that, absolutely.

Billionaire Donald Trump told the Conservative Political Action Conference that he's thinking about running for president. His remarks drew lots of applause and cheers from the crowd, who will play a key role in grass-roots organizing for the eventual 2012 GOP presidential nominee. "I'm well acquainted with winning," Trump said. "That's what this country needs now."
Defamation probably won’t fly but Canadien/Canadian will I believe. It could be trouble eh?
I thought he was finally going to fight back against these birther rumors. But no. Makes me wonder why.
And Donald Duck saying "Don't listen to anything I said. Or say."
I heard Ted Cruz lie out of his own mouth this morning at his press conference with regard to what happened in Iowa with Carson.
He straight up lied.
So Cruz is smearing himself as a liar, I’m sorry to say.
Doesn’t Cruz have more pressing issues like renaming streets in Washington DC?
Maybe he’ll get around to the whole SCOTUS vacancy thing when he’s finished holding another press conference, preferably about Mass Effect 3’s unfair ending.
Cruz may have decided that if he must lose, he’ll tie Trump up in such legal knots that Trump will also fail in the polls, leaving room for Kasich, Rubio or horrors Bush to take the nomination!
Will Cruz ever figure out he has a poster on his backside, says, “Kick Me”
Ted Cruz lies 6-8 hours a day usually after the sun goes down, and for that I can never trust him.
Trump doesn’t sleep at all so he has my complete trust.
A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later.
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator.
Oh yeah..........he loves that little girl.
Momma's waiting to tuck her in,
As she fumbles up those stairs.
She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear.
Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncin' curls.
[Chorus:]
He smiles.....
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you, daddy good-night.
There goes my life.
Your post, while humorous, isn’t really relevant.
The fact of the matter is that Cruz lied at his press conference today about what happened in Iowa.
He did not simply pass on a news story.
He jumped to an erroneous conclusion that the news story never reported, and then relayed that erroneous conclusion to voters while they were voting in order to benefit himself.
Now when others call him a liar, they are accurate in that accusation.
Piss or get off the pot orange Gumby
When you repeat the nonsense in your last post what does that make you?
put up or shut up on your whining about supposedly cheating the psychopathic child molester in Iowa....

Let me be clear - I am pro-life. I support that position with exceptions allowed for rape, incest or the life of the mother being at risk. I did not always hold this position, but I had a significant personal experience that brought the precious gift of life into perspective for me. My story is well documented, so I will not retell it here. However, what I will do with the remaining space is express my feelings about life, and the culture of life, as we approach the 43nd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade.
I build things. There is a process involved in building things. We tap into a lot of disciplines with engineering being one of the most important. The rules for putting structures together are as strict as are the rules of physics. These rules have stood the test of time and have become the path to putting together structures that endure and are beautiful. America, when it is at its best, follows a set of rules that have worked since our founding. One of those rules is that we, as Americans, revere life and have done so since our Founders made it the first, and most important, of our "unalienable" rights.
Over time, our culture of life in this country has started sliding toward a culture of death. Perhaps the most significant piece of evidence to support this assertion is that since Roe v. Wade was decided by the Supreme Count 43 years ago over 50 million Americans never had the chance to enjoy the opportunities offered by this country. They never had the chance to become doctors, musicians, farmers, teachers, husbands, fathers, sons or daughters. They never had the chance to enrich the culture of this nation or to bring their skills, lives, loves or passions into the fabric of country. They are missing, and they are missed.
The Supreme Court in 1973 based their decision on imagining rights and liberties in the Constitution that are nowhere to be found. Even if we take the court at its word, that abortion is a matter of privacy, we should then extend the argument to the logical conclusion that private funds, then, should subsidize this choice rather than the half billion dollars given to abortion providers every year by Congress. Public funding of abortion providers is an insult to people of conscience at the least and an affront to good governance at best.
If using taxpayer money to facilitate our slide to a culture of death was not enough, the 1973 decision became a landmark decision demonstrating the utter contempt the court had for federalism and the 10th Amendment. Roe v. Wade gave the court an excuse to dismantle the decisions of state legislatures and the votes of the people. This is a pattern that the court has repeated over and over again since that decision. Perhaps Roe v. Wade became yet another incidence of disconnect between the people and their government.
We are in the middle of a presidential political cycle and votes will be cast in just days. The citizens of this nation will have the chance to vote for candidates that are aligned with their individual worldviews. It is my hope that they will choose the builder, the man who has the ability to imagine the greatness of this nation. The next President must follow those principles that work best and that reinforce the reverence Americans hold for life. A culture of life is too important to let slip away for convenience or political correctness. It is by preserving our culture of life that we will Make America Great Again.
