As Ted Cruz continues to gain on Donald Trump, the billionaire has begun to lash out and dismiss criticisms of his own record as "lies." Today, the Cruz campaign responded to the charge by using Trump in his own words.
"Donald Trump just can't handle the truth," said Communications Director Rick Tyler. "He believes everyone who disagrees with him is lying. But everything Ted Cruz has said is accurate because he's using Trump's own words. If Trump doesn't like what's been said, he only has himself to blame."
Donald Trump at the South Carolina debate said, "You probably are worse than Jeb Bush. You are [the] single biggest liar."
But here are the facts.
FACT: Donald Trump Said He Was "Very Pro-Choice ... Strongly for Choice ... Pro-Choice in Every Respect" and That He Would Not Ban Partial Birth Abortion
...
FACT: Donald Trump Has Donated to Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and a Number of Other Democrats and Their Political Committees
...
FACT: Donald Trump Supports Universal Health Care and Having the Government Pay For It
...
FACT: Until Last September, Donald Trump Supported Greater Restrictions on Guns and Said Michael Bloomberg, the Leading Gun Control Advocate in America, Could Go Down as "the Greatest" New York Mayor
...
FACT: Like Marco Rubio, Donald Trump Said Gay Marriage is the "Law of the Land"
...
FACT: Donald Trump Has Refused to Denounce Taxpayer Funding for Planned Parenthood and Said "It Does Do Wonderful Things"
...

Interesting how President Obama so haltingly said I "would never be president" - This from perhaps the worst president in U.S. history!
TRUMP 2016!!!
The irony here is Cruz didn't need to lie. If he had remained honest, he would still be competitive. Liars lie, they can't help it.— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) February 17, 2016
I just find it odd that while the typical Cruz supporter is hyper-religious, they are utterly blind to his constant LYING. It's just weird.— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) February 17, 2016
Cruz throws out cr** and sees if he can get mileage out of it. Most of it backfires.
But everything Ted Cruz has said is accurate because he’s using Trump’s own words.
Cruz said on Monday the “one person” Trump suggested for the Supreme Court was his sister. This was two days after standing next to Trump at the debate, where Trump suggested two conservative judges, neither of which were his sister.
Ted Cruz is an unrepentant liar. It’s a shame he’s sunk so low.
“Ted Cruz is an unrepentant liar. It’s a shame he’s sunk so low.”
Not even the same man he was 6 weeks ago. I don’t even want him in the Senate anymore.(of course, this applies to most of them, sad to say)
RESPONSE TO THE LIES OF SENATOR CRUZ:
Ted Cruz is a totally unstable individual. 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.
Cruz said I would be appointing a liberal judge when in fact I will appoint a great conservative and I am the only candidate who has gone so far, at the debate, as to suggest two individuals I feel would best represent the conservative values we need to protect: William "Bill" Pryor Jr. and Diane Sykes.
Cruz says I am pro-choice, when in fact I am staunchly pro-life and have been for a long time. Like Ronald Reagan, on many issues, I have evolved.
Cruz says I am in favor of ObamaCare, when in fact I have spoken about repealing and replacing this disaster of a system at every speech throughout my campaign and since it's inception. Meanwhile, Cruz was responsible for getting Bush to put in the judge that failed to vote against ObamaCare twice.
Cruz says I will try to take away your second amendment rights, when I am one of the strongest proponents of the right to bear arms and I say so in every speech that I have made for years. I am a proud member of the NRA and so are my sons.
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.
In Iowa, Cruz told thousands of Ben Carson voters that Dr. Carson had left the race and to instead vote for Ted Cruz. He apologized when the race was over. Likewise, his fraudulent voter violation form sent to Iowa voters. If Ted is going to continue to lie with such desperation, I have no choice but to fight back.
One of the ways I can fight back is to bring a lawsuit against him relative to the fact that he was born in Canada and therefore cannot be President. If he doesn't take down his false ads and retract his lies, I will do so immediately. Additionally, the RNC should intervene and if they don't they are in default of their pledge to me.
I am the strongest on the borders and I will build a wall, and it will be a real wall. I am strongest on illegal immigration, strongest on ISIS, strongest on the military and I will take care of our Vets. I will end common core and preserve the second amendment. I will renegotiate our trade deals and bring our jobs back to our country. I am the only person who will Make America Great Again.
What specifically has Cruz lied about?
Funny. As I was watching the debate and Trumps meltdown, I actually commented as to how this was Trumps, Nicholson in A Few Good Men, moment.
Gaining? Seriously????
No point in reading pat the first lie.
When did they hire Goebbels?
Ted Cruz missed the Audit the Feb
on orders from Goldman Sachs
Fact: Ted Cruz was the Closure vote twice on TPP
Another Goldman Gift???
Was the only Candidate that acted like he was Dr. Ben Carson Campaign manager and claimed he quit the race and vote for him >
Do Not Trust Cruz owned by Club for Growth and Wall Street

“But everything Ted Cruz has said is accurate because he’s using Trump’s own words.”
Wow. That is an amazing example of cognitive dissonance. Incredibly dishonest.

You beat me to it...in his defense though, Cruz was polling in single digits in SC last year. As compared to then he has “gained” though I would not call polls within the last couple of months “gaining”. IT’s politispeak...just like when a candidate goes from 6% to 8% it’s a “surge”.
“One of the ways I can fight back is to bring a lawsuit against him ...”
Your messiah keeps saying this. But he’s all talk, and no action.
Let the sue-crazy Trump bring a lawsuit. His words are tiring. Let’s see some action.
