As the Republican race moves to South Carolina, Ted Cruz has unveiled an attack ad against Donald Trump, which accuses Trump of unfairly using eminent domain to help his casino in Atlantic City, an attack leveled at Trump last week by Jeb Bush in the GOP debate in New Hampshire.
The ad involves the story of Vera Cokling, who didn't want to sell her house in Atlantic City.
"Trump uses power for personal gain," the narrator says.
Here's the ad:
Cruz is not the first to go after the issue, as Jeb Bush tried to zero in on the same item in the most recent Republican debate on ABC:
"What Donald Trump did was try to take the property of an elderly woman in Atlantic City to turn it into a limousine parking lot," Bush said, in an exchange that left Trump visibly aggravated on the debate stage.
That wasn't the only ad that Cruz has rolled out this week against Trump - also this one, "Playing Donald Trump."
