A Cruz ad said Trump thinks "a grown man pretending to be a woman (should) be allowed to use the women's restroom."
There's a grain of truth in this claim, but the overall message is highly distorted to scare voters.
Trump did say he'd be fine with letting Caitlyn Jenner, a transgender women, use the bathroom of her choice in Trump Tower rather than the bathroom that corresponds to the sex on Jenner's birth certificate. But Trump did not say he supports a man "pretending to be a woman" using a woman's restroom.
Trump talked about how bathroom laws that allow people to use the bathroom of their choice are not a problem and bemoaned the business backlash that hit North Carolina with a state law that said people have to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender at birth. The state would have been better off leaving it alone, he argued, but as president he would not want the federal government to be involved.
Doing nothing about a local government's decision is not an endorsement. We rate Cruzs claim Mostly False.
'If Donald Trump dresses up as Hillary Clinton, he still can't go to the girl's bathroom." - Ted Cruz
Such a nasty guy. That's why Cruz will never be President.
“Trump did say he’d be fine with letting Caitlyn Jenner, a transgender women...”
Trump did say he’d be fine with letting Caitlyn Jenner, a mutilated man...
Cruz was and is 100% correct on this issue. Trump saying that NC should have not passed the bill IS a full fledged endorsement of perverts in the restrooms with our daughters. Saying it’s a state or local issue is just another spineless worthless comment from a characterless POS politician in Sen Paul like speak. Cruz being a putz doesn’t assign morality to the pos in the whitehouse. Trump is doing a fabulous job but he still has no morals and is a disgusting person. To think otherwise makes you no better than the blind worshippers of zero.
Today I heard that Texas is considering reverting to the old law, and organized sports indicates no more Super Bowl or other major events if they do.
