Levin To Trump: ‘Cut The Crap’ With Attacks On Cruz Or Lose Conservatives’ Support

Conservative radio talkshow host and bestselling author Mark Levin has a message to GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump – “cut the crap.”

The unabashed conservative and former Chief of Staff to Ed Meese, Ronald Reagan’s Attorney General, did not mince words. “Either cut the crap – your accusations this morning that Cruz is Canadian, a criminal, owned by big banks, etc. – or you will lose lots and lots of conservatives,” wrote Levin in response to this Daily Caller story on Trump’s latest attack on Texas Sen. [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore].

Under the heading “Friendly advice, Donald, and I do mean friendly…,” Levin held nothing back. A critic of “birther” claims against Cruz from the start, Levin warned Trump to “Engage on real and substantive issues that matter to the country.”

Levin’s entire statement is below:

Either cut the crap – your accusations this morning that Cruz is Canadian, a criminal, owned by big banks, etc. (see link below) – or you will lose lots and lots of conservatives. Save the liberal New York City bully tactics for the New York City liberals. Put down your computer keyboard for a few hours, think before you tweet, and collect yourself. You’re not politically invincible, regardless of the polls and media. I am already hearing more and more people getting fed up with the low road you’re taking against Cruz, which has obviously intensified this morning. You don’t need to attack his honor or attempt to smear his reputation. You can leave that to [crscore]Mitch McConnell[/crscore] and the New York Times. Engage on real and substantive issues that matter to the country. Like I said, my friendly advice.
