Donald Trump Calls Ted Cruz an ‘Anchor Baby’ [View all]

Three days ahead of the Iowa caucuses,Donald Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination, today attacked Sen. Ted Cruz again for being born in Canada.

"Now, Ted Cruz may not be a U.S. citizen. Right? But he's an anchor baby in Canada. No, he's an anchor baby. Ted Cruz is an anchor baby in Canada," Trump said today at his event in Nashua, New Hampshire.

He also said the Texas senator got “pummeled last night" at the GOP presidential debate.

“They didn’t even mention he was born in Canada,” Trump lamented.

Trump also said he would've "in theory" rather have been at the Republican debate last night.

“In theory, I would’ve rather done the debate because you’re leading. You don't want to change the wheels...," Trump said today at his event in Nashua, New Hampshire. “...I took a chance...Whatever the result I did the right thing. I did the right thing because I did something great for veterans.”
