(Bloomberg) — On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump engaged with a protestor who called rival Senator Ted Cruz a vulgar term.

Trump was speaking to a crowd of about 5,000 people inside the Verizon Center in Manchester when a woman in the crowd shouted that Cruz was a “p-ssy.”

“You know what she said? Shout it out,” Trump said. The woman repeated her sentiment.

“You’re not allowed to say that and I never expected to hear you say that again. I never expect to hear you say that again. She said he’s a p-ssy,” Trump said, eliciting cheers from the audience.

The incident is likely to drive conversation less than 12 hours until the first polls open in New Hampshire, where polls have Trump leading.

A spokesperson for Cruz couldn’t be immediately reached for comment.

“What kind of people do I have here?” Trump said with a smile. Trump then alluded to media criticsm about how he handled a handful of protestors at a rally in December. The protestors were sympathetic to the Black Lives Matter movement and scuffled with a couple of Trump supporters in the crowd. Some media critics said that Trump should’ve reprimanded the supporters.

“You’re reprimanded,” Trump said, the crowd roared. “Can she stay? Can she stay? You’re reprimanded.”

The woman who had first used the word against Cruz was allowed to remain in attendance.
