In Twitter Tirade, Donald Trump Unleashes on Jeb Bush, Brent Bozell, Glenn Beck and Ted Cruz
The Blaze ^ | Jan. 23, 2016 | Oliver Darcy

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump turned to Twitter Friday night to target a handful of conservatives who have openly criticized his campaign as of late.

Trump, who has become known for his online tirades, first took aim at his favorite target: 2016 rival Jeb Bush.

Just watched Jeb's ad where he desperately needed mommy to help him. Jeb - mom can't help you with ISIS, the Chinese or with Putin.

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 23, 2016

The billionaire businessman then targeted Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell and Glenn Beck. Both contributed to the National Review's special edition "Against Trump" issue published the night before.

.@BrentBozell, one of the National Review lightweights, came to my office begging for money like a dog. Why doesn't he say that?

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 23, 2016

The only reason irrelevant @GlennBeck doesn't like me is I refused to do his failing show - asked many times. Very few listeners - sad!

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 23, 2016

Trump then turned his ire to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz who he is locked in a dead heat with in Iowa.

Cruz says I supported TARP, which gave $25 million to Goldman Sachs, the bank which loaned him the money he didn't disclose. Puppet!

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 23, 2016

Cruz did not renounce his Canadian citizenship as a US Senator- only when he started to run for #POTUS. He could be Canadian Prime Minister.

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 23, 2016

Is Cruz honest? He is in bed w/ Wall St. & is funded by Goldman Sachs/Citi, low interest loans. No legal disclosure & never sold off assets.

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 23, 2016

While neither Beck, Bozell or Cruz fired back any responses online, Bush took advantage of the opportunity, tweeting a photo of his mother Barbara Bush wearing football pads.

"I'd be careful, Donald," he joked.

It’s a clear lie and shows us something about Cruz’s character. He’s hoping that there are Republicans and conservatives who don’t follow Trump’s or AC’s history and believe he (personally?!) bulldozed her home.

I followed this story very closely. This woman was a wonderfully tough old bird who got her way. Eventually, after the story was over, she became so frail that her son took her into his own home. Then she passed away. The house sold for a fraction of the 2 million offered.

“I am supportive of Trump, but these Twitter tantrums are getting old.”

“Tantrums”?????

How many seconds does it take to send out three tweets?

Ted tweeted this lie out yesterday;

"Adexposing how Trump has used eminent domain to bulldoze an elderly woman's home to create a limo parking lot" https://t.co/zK7wI1QQUC— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) January 22, 2016

This is not behavior worthy of a man seeking to be POTUS.

None of what Trump tweeted hardly constitutes a tirade. Perhaps ‘The Blaze’ is engaging in Beckisms

Thanks. Why do you think some people here pretend it’s not a problem?

It is amazing. Show how low followers of a cult of personality can stoop. Every true conservative in the country now discredited in favor of The Donald.

This, my friend, is a ditinction without a difference. I don’t know about you, but saying “he didn’t actually do this despicable thing because the courts wouldn’t him, so therefore it didn’t happen” doesn’t qualify as a top notch defense.

Brent Bozell of course is a member of the Buckley family. I’ve always considered him to be a valued pundit and researcher. That means nothing to the cult and gang of Trump.

I bet Bozell has gone to Donald for money for his think tank before, but back then, Trump only donated to people who could help his business like the Clintons, not to conservatives.

Bozell has been asking me for money for years, and I’m just a regular schlub. I do admire the Media Research Center, but get real. His hit piece in NR was a real disappointment.

It’s because he and his handlers know, as they have limited funds to work with, that they have to come up with clickbait. That’s all it is. And they’ll have internal meetings and report back on how many impressions and profile click-throughs the tweet received, and how many sign-ups were realized for Ted’s Beggars email tsunami. It’s sad.

Bozell has made his choice, now he can live with it. Hannity is famous for saying “No poor man ever gave me a job”, well no poor man ever supported the Media Research Center either; I have no doubt that Bozell hit Trump up for money but it’s unprovable and irrelevant now anyway.

He probably figured he had nothing to lose, if Trump becomes Potus he won’t be able to do MRC any favors, and he didn’t have the courage to stand apart from the other policical pundit-hacks who allied themselves against Trump.
