Ted Cruz is criticizing Donald Trump for opposing North Carolina’s new bathroom law, saying his rival is giving in to “political correctness.”

Trump said earlier Thursday that North Carolina should not have passed the law directing transgender people to use the bathroom that matches the gender on their birth certificate.

Cruz supports the North Carolina measure and says, “Grown adult men, strangers, should not be alone in a bathroom with little girls.” He says his view is “basic common sense.”

Cruz is campaigning in Frederick, Maryland, where voters will cast their ballots Tuesday.
