Watch: Ted Cruz Reacts to Campaign's 'Dirty Tricks' Allegations
On Sunday, presidential aspirant Ted Cruz had an interview with Fox News host Chris Wallace. However, their conversation didn't turn out well as both attacked each other and denied each allegation.
Cruz vs. Wallace
While Cruz was still speaking, Wallace interrupted to ask the U.S. senator from Texas about his presidential campaign, which is allegedly involved in a series of "dirty tricks." To backup his question, the American television anchor even provided a list of incidences, RawStory reported.
Cruz's campaign was accused of tweeting about Ben Carson suspending his campaign and putting out voting violations flyers. In South Carolina, his SuperPac supporters attacked Donald Trump for the confederate flag, and lastly, his communication director posted a video accusing Marco Rubio of his irreverence to the bible.
Wallace stressed that all were false and asked if Cruz takes personal responsibility for those incidents. Cruz was obviously not happy with all the allegations and explained that all of the accusations were incorrect. "I appreciate your reading the Donald Trump attack file on that," he quipped.
However, his remarks seemed to hurt the host. Wallace insisted on the allegations and recounted that Cruz even asked for an apology to Carson and fired his communication director. Cruz kept on asking Wallace to let him finish his statement, but Wallace didn't hear him.
"Don't say this in an oppo file on our part, sir. Please don't accuse me of something I didn't do," Wallace said.
Cruz just lets the host talk and grumbled to let him know when he can speak. The politician argued that his campaign had the "highest level of integrity" since they started their pursuit for the presidential race.
Wallace's Interview with Trump
In the said interview, Wallace stressed that he also asked Trump difficult questions when it was the GOP front-runner's turn. He even explained that he also asked the businessman-turned-politician several questions and challenged Cruz that if he wanted him to ask about it, he can do so during the Fox debate on Thursday.
Per Mediate ITE, Wallace confronted Trump about the Polish illegal immigrants, con man charges and tax returns. He even went into details asking Trump for his gross income and the amount he gave to charity, including his effective tax rate.
Wallace Calling Out for Clinton
Meanwhile, Wallace had admitted earlier that they haven't had the chance to interview Hillary Clinton. The host explained that they already reached out to her press secretary and communications director but got no reply.
Clinton and President Barack Obama were subject to relentless attacks by Fox News, according to Politicususa. Latino Post previously reported that the Democratic front-runner is now letting them feel the fruits of their biased reports by ignoring their invitation.
