Donald Trump said Wednesday that Vice President Joe Biden is "not a very bright guy" during a press conference in Florida.
Trump criticized Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) for saying that he wants to lower the minimum wage, a claim the Republican nominee said was not true. Then Trump turned his attention to Biden.
"Just like Joe Biden lied today. He said that Donald Trump wants to carpet bomb, he was on television, he said Donald Trump wants to carpet bomb the enemy in the Middle East," Trump said. "Now, that was Ted Cruz that said that, that was not Donald Trump."
"I mean he’s not a very bright guy, but that was Ted Cruz that said it and he shouldn’t say it," Trump said.
He continued talking about Biden’s comments, calling them completely false.
"He said it with such surety, ‘Donald Trump wants to carpet bomb,’" Trump said. "I’ve never said I wanted to carpet bomb. That was Ted Cruz."
