A new ad produced by a super-PAC supporting Republican presidential candidate John Kasich slams rival Ted Cruz for lying.
The 30-second ad, titled “Nose,” was produced by New Day for America.
{mosads}”Many just call him Lyin’ Ted,” the ad starts out, referring to a nickname coined for the Texas senator by front-runner Donald Trump.
The ad shows an image of Cruz, his nose growing throughout the spot and wrapping around his neck.
The ad called the Texas senator out for his campaign’s dissemination of rumors that Ben Carson was dropping out before the Iowa caucuses.
The ad also says Cruz lied about “being the best for the GOP when polls show he can’t even beat Hillary Clinton.”
“If Ted Cruz’s mouth is moving, he’s lying,” the ad concludes.
Kasich’s campaign has argued that it will do well in the upcoming contests and has touted its poll numbers in head-to-head match ups with Clinton, even as many in the GOP call for him to drop out.
Cruz has in the past called Kasich a “spoiler” who will keep Cruz from securing the nomination before the convention this summer.
