A few minutes ago, Donald Trump took campaign rhetoric to a new level, when he started ranting about Ted Cruz' lukewarm response to torture. Trump, it should be noted, is a full-throated advocate for torture.

In response, a woman in the audience shouted, "Ted Cruz is a pussy!"

While pretending that it was a horrible, awful thing (wink, wink) to say, Trump parroted back the woman's words verbatim, so the entire audience could hear it.

Keeping it classy there, Donald.

UPDATE: The campaign spokesperson, Katrina Pierson, doubles down on teh statement; invoking...wait for it.... The Founding Fathers.

You. Cannot. Make. This. Stuff. Up.
