"She just said a terrible thing," Trump said, stopping his own remarks at the arena in Manchester and pointing out a woman in the audience, beckoning her to raise her voice.
"You know what she said? Shout it out, 'cause I don't want to," Trump continued. "OK, you're not allowed to say – and I never expect to hear that from you again – she said ... he's a pussy."
"That's terrible, terrible," Trump said as the audience erupted into a mix of laughs and cheers and he threw his hands into the air and moved away from the microphone.
Trump continued by providing a mock "reprimand" of the woman in an effort to belay comparisons to a rally in September when he failed to correct a supporter who said President Obama was a Muslim and not an American.
"For the press, this is a serious reprimand," Trump said after asking the audience if the woman could stay.
Shortly after the Trump rally, Cruz communications director Rick Tyler tweeted that Trump is "turning the campaign into the latest episode of a reality show but let's not forget who whipped who in Iowa."
