Bill O'Reilly and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) butted heads over Donald Trump Thursday night, as Cruz repeatedly tore into Trump for his history of donating to Democrats and O'Reilly consistently came to Trump's defense. In Cruz's opinion, Trump's donations to candidates like Hillary Clinton translate to his support for those candidates' positions.

"If you're fed up with the corruption of Washington, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are flip sides of the same coin," Cruz said, suggesting that Trump is still "responsible for the policies he's supported."
