"They’re foaming at the mouth practically," Cruz said on "America’s Newsroom."
"It's one of the crutches — when the left doesn’t have any other arguments, they go and just accuse everyone of being a racist, and it's an ugly, ugly part of the modern Democratic Party."
"The Democrats are the party of the Ku Klux Klan," he said. "The Dixiecrats, they were Democrats who imposed segregation, imposed Jim Crow laws, who founded the Klan. The Klan was founded by a great many Democrats."
