The actual summation statement in the thread, at the ad site, and in Ted's tweet; "This is actually a pretty good ad exposing how Trump has used eminent domain to bulldoze an elderly woman's home to create a limo parking lot for his casino:" That is an outright lie.

No, Trump was not successful as a judge put a stop to his effort. Otherwise, he would have done so. So, if Cruz says that the house did end up getting bulldozed, that is incorrect, but that is no defense of Trump's morality in this instance, nor his abuse of eminent domain as he was making every effort to do so and would have but for the judge stopping the effort. The explanation in the article from Trump's campaign is also false that he "didn't end up purchasing it" as though he just changed his mind - a judge told him that he could not after a property rights organization stepped in on her behalf to fight Trump's effort in court. Here is a full report on the situation which was posted long before this campaign so it was not posted to be politically motivated.

There is no way around the fact the summary in Ted’s tweet is a lie. Why lie like that??
