Presidential bid Donald Trump threw a nasty blow at election competition and freshman senator of the state of Texas Ted Cruz. In an interview with ABC News, Trump referred to Cruz as a "Nasty guy," and went on to say that that's not a good thing for America.
"Look, the truth is, he's a nasty guy. He was so nice to me. I mean, I knew it. I was watching." Trump told ABC News. "I kept saying, 'Come on Ted. Let's go, okay.' But he's a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him."
Trump went on to discuss and question Cruz about a loan that he reportedly took out for his 2012 Senate run. According to The New York Times, Cruz had put a total of $960,000 of his personal funds into his campaign fund and then later added another $300,000 putting a total of $1.2 million of his personal money into his campaign.
What Cruz had failed to indicate in a report filed with the Federal Election Committee, where candidates are expected to disclose the amount of funds borrowed for a campaign run, was that a large portion of his personal funds had been from a loan taken out of Goldman Sach's. In a statement given by Mr. Cruz's spokeswoman Catherine Frazier, she assured everyone that there was no intention to hide anything and that the filings would be corrected.
"These transactions have been reported in one way or another on his many public financial disclosures and the Senate campaign's F.E.C. filings," Frazier said.
However, Trump sees the ordeal as Cruz's way of playing Robin Hood with the loan he made on Goldman Sach's and even went as far as to call Mr. Cruz a "hypocrite."
Trump and Cruz have been going head to head in presidential polls, with each candidate leading the republican side in most states.
