New Cruz Ad Shows Trump 'Pattern of Sleaze'

Ted Cruz's campaign rolled out a new TV spot Thursday claiming GOP presidential rival Donald Trump has a "pattern of sleaze going back decades."

The new ad comes the same day Trump accused Cruz of using "sleazy and dishonest" tactics in South Carolina.

Cruz's ad, reports The Washington Post, focuses on Trump for trying to boot a woman from her home next to one of his casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, to make way for a parking lot.

Trump, the ad claims, "bankrolled politicians to steamroll the little guy, a pattern of sleaze stretching back decades."

The ad also underscored Trump's support of eminent domain, including taking private property for private use.
At a campaign rally in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Thursday night, Trump said the ad was "so false."
