Trump has said the things that Ted accuses him of saying but Trump just changed his mind for this election cycle, so no, they are not lies.
Ted is a sleazy lawyer. They are natural liars. They have to defend known killers and other criminals. How do they do this? Lying.
Trump said he was for people keeping their guns, Cruz said he wasn’t. One of them *has* to be a liar. The label just stuck to Cruz more. Can’t say I’m unhappy with that outcome.
