WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A super PAC supporting Sen. Ted Cruz has aired a radio ad and robocall criticizing Donald Trump and Gov. Nikki Haley (R) for supporting the removal of the Confederate flag from a memorial near the South Carolina capitol.
The issue of the flag, which was removed in July after a highly emotional debate that flared after nine people were killed at an African-American church in Charleston, had not previously come up during the state's primary.
The ad and robocall start with audio of Trump stating, "Put it in a museum, let it go." It goes on to state that Trump supported Haley in removing "the battle flag" from a memorial on the statehouse grounds.
