In Saturday night’s debate, Ted Cruz took Donald Trump’s longstanding… and current… support for Planned Parenthood, hung it around Trump’s neck, set it on fire (metaphorically) and chased Trump through the streets. It was a horrific example of a blustering bully called out on his own record and being made to own it. If you haven’t seen it, you owe it to yourself to check it out:
Now Cruz has followed this up with an attack directly linking Trump to Planned Parenthood and the Center for Medical Progress investigative videos.
TRANSCRIPT
VO:Ted Cruz and I approve this message.
REPORTER: In between sips of wine and bite of salad a Planned Parenthood doctor discusses getting money for tissue from aborted fetuses.
MEGYN KELLY cLIP: Harvesting the organs of aborted fetuses for money…
VO: Planned Parenthood treat the unborn like another form of currency and yet some politicians still defend them.
DONALD TRUMP: Planned Parenthood serves a good function.
SEAN HANNITY CLIP: With the debt we have should we even give them a penny?
DONALD TRUMP: We have to look at the positive.
VO: Donald Trump is just plain wrong
Trump can’t run from this. He’s trying to bluster his way through it with the “women’s health” bullsh** but 86% of Planned Parenthood’s revenue comes directly from elective abortions. Abortions on demand. Abortions with no underlying medical reason other than inconvenience.
As the New York Times notes:
Takeaway
Starting the ad with newscasts on the videos gives the accusations a more authentic, trusting feel and grabs the viewers' attention more than using a narrator. It also builds the case against Planned Parenthood before linking Mr. Trump to it, while subtly pointing to a similarity with Mrs. Clinton, a pariah to many South Carolina Republican voters. But perhaps most effectively, the ad highlights Mr. Trump's position on a hot-button social issue that he has taken as a candidate, and not from his past, to attack him.
I had thought I had seen it all on FR, until now. I guess FReepers have started quoting from Margaret Sanger to back up their points.
Your candidate loves baby killers.
Let that sink in.
How much money has Ted given to Bill and Hillary Clinton?
How much money has Donald given to Veteran’s groups after his shamathon?
Does anyone think Trump is lying when he says they do wonderful things... He certainly believes it.
“Trumps premise (as well as the rest of the Democrats) is that giving them funding doesn’t fund abortion. That is complete BS. “
Ted Cruz doesn’t deny them funding either. Mr Filibuster couldn’t be bothered when funding for Planned Parenthood was passed by the Senate to do anything at all.
Nice deflection away from content.
Well it’s the truth. Like anything else making abortion illegal will not stop it from happening. People act as if you can ban abortions though law and they will stop - not ever going to happen in this world. They act as if you are a heathen for stating that truth.
At least it wasn’t in the standard black and white.
It’s Donald Trumps own words in the ad... To paraphrase Cruz from earlier this week... Jumping up and down yelling liar, when you’re being quoted, is not the strategy of an honest man.
Trump doesn’t jump up an down yelling. Ted’s lying about that too.

“You are carrying on about “Cruz’s lying†and how it matters so much to you, why doesn’t Trump’s lying matter?”
Because being in a cult means you don’t have to think for yourself....just keep attacking using talking points from the cult
Red states a joke. Rush is a joke, Beck, Levin, Hannity is a joke. Bush lied. Cruz lied, Rubio lied, Jeb is a loser, Cruz is nasty, etc, etc ad nauseam. Not everyone who isn’t a full throated Trump supporter is a joke, a liar, or a loser.
You Trump supporters are the biggest joke of all, considering the saps that the Donald is playing you for. You’ll realize eventually that the joke is on you.
Planned Parenthood? The baby killers? Yeah, you lemmings just keep on defending infanticide. Way to go. Yay.
Why Jane? I’m asking a serious question. Is it because abortion isn’t high on your list of priorities? Or that you don’t really think Donald said those things?
What don’t you really like?
A new and innovative way to fund abortion? Splendid!
right...except for rape, the mother’s life, incest...
can you imagine how many claims that ‘grampa raped me’ there would be if DT “banned” abortion but for....
His exceptions are a joke; a way to trick people into believing something from him that is completely untrue. Life is life, no matter how it starts.
That’s extremely damning. He is beyond full of crap when he talks. Please people, open your eyes to Donald Trump; he’s lying to ALL OF US about where he stands and who he is.
You mean the ‘I’m very pro-choice’ Donald Trump? Nahhhhhh!!!!!!! /s
Cruz is becoming Hillary right before our eyes
like Bill, Ted is becoming “ an uncommonly good liar”
