On the campaign trail Friday, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz ripped into rival Donald Trump for touting an endorsement from former undisputed  heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

Tyson, who was convicted of rape in 1992 and served three years in an Indiana prison, actually endorsed Donald Trump in October, but Trump brought up Tyson specifically while speaking in Indianapolis Wednesday:

“Mike Tyson endorsed me. I love it. He sent out a tweet. Mike. Iron Mike. You know, all the tough guys endorse me… when I get endorsed by the tough ones, I like it, because you know what? We need toughness now. We need toughness.”

Friday, Cruz responded to Trump’s praise of the former boxer:

“I’m proud to stand with Carly Fiorina and I’m proud to stand with Governor Mike Pence. At the same time, who is Donald Trump standing with? Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson spent three years in prison in Indiana for rape. And yet in Donald Trump’s world, this convicted rapist is a ‘tough guy.’ You know, I’ve got news for Donald Trump, rapists are not tough guys.”

Cruz followed up with:

“Anyone who believes a convicted rapist is a tough guy, you can understand the whole race right there. I think the people of Indiana see a clear and simple contrast and I have enormous faith in the good judgment and common sense of Hoosiers.”

In addition to Cruz and running-mate Carly Fiorina slamming Trump, Greg Garrison, the prosecutor on the Tyson rape case, had some words for the business mogul.

On his Indianapolis radio show Thursday, Garrison said:

“Mr. Trump, tough is one thing, a serial rapist is quite something else. A 17-year-old girl, her clothes ripped off her… I’ve been thinking about this all night. Kept me up. You know how I feel about this election stuff. I don’t want to throw rocks at anybody… But this is where I want you to listen to me with both of your ears open.

"I see a news piece from back some time ago when Mr. Trump appears to have suggested it was her fault. I’ll tell you one thing Mr. Trump, had that been your daughter, those words would never have come out of your mouth. And you would never have thought about it.......goodness’ sakes. In Indiana? Really? Did nobody in that whole entourage of yours know that that snake raped a lovely kid in this town? I think I’d beef up my intelligence operation a little bit.”
