Ted Cruz spoke to Chris Cuomo this morning on CNN about the Twitter battle that took place between the two of them last night on Western Tuesday. This is what he had to say:
TRANSCRIPT
Cruz: But what Donald did last night, and listen, youre in New York, youve seen this a lot. When Donald gets scared, when he gets angry, when hes threatened, he begins yelling, he begins screaming, he begins often cursing, and he begins trying to be a bully. So last night Donald threatened my wife, he went directly after my wife. And I gotta tell you, number one- Heidi, my wife, shes the daughter of missionaries in Africa, shes my best friend in the world, and if Donald wants to get in a character fight, hes better off sticking with me because Heidi is way out of his league. But it is also– it reveals a lot about character, it reveals a lot about class, that Donalds instinct is to try to attack my wife and sully her. And you know what, that should be beneath Donald. But you know Chris, the reason hes doing that? Is because he had a very bad night last night. He got clobbered in Utah. Remember Donald campaigned in Utah, he tried to win in Utah, and he got blown out of the water. And he is seeing Republican uniting behind our campaign.
He’s not wrong.

He didn’t say it he was just repeating what somebody else said.
Jesus.. Are you kidding? Cruz has turned into a whiny putz.
Don’t run ads calling Trump’s wife a whore?????
Are you projecting your own feelings on Cruz?? Lashing out because that is what you really think about her, but don’t want to admit it? That’s what your lie sounds like to me. No one said she was a whore. A nude model, yes. That’s a fact you cannot spin away.
Sure you do.
Didn’t they go after Trump first by posting those pictures of his wife? Of course he will defend his wife. Any decent man would. He was just saying, hey, you’re wife isn’t so pure and white either.
I am having trouble voting for anyone who is endorsed by Jeb Bush and Lindsay Graham. The GOP insiders are coming out like crazy to support Cruz. I have to ask myself why they are so insistent that we the people can not have Trump? Is it because the lining in their pockets is going away?
Instead of condemning it, Ted simply stated he had no control....Incredibly sleazy on his part.. Yes, the Lyin' Ted stays true to his namesake:
And finally, why did Ted Cruz sell a nude poster of himself on his campaign website? Google it: Nude poster of Ted Cruz. Self-righteous, phony "tough guys" in glass houses shouldn't throw stones! |
Oh I’m sorry! Where did Ted Cruz disavow the PAC’s tactics? Please link!
Really? How so?
Well, that’s what Trump supporters call Kelly for her photo shoot. That, and bimbo. And more.
So, if they’re going to be consistent, they must believe the same of Trump’s wife.
And, DT wasn’t?
Cruz and his wife are victims here too though. There is no evidence that Cruz is illegally coordinating with an anti-Trump PAC. None. Trump had the opportunity to go after the SUperPac. He chose to instead go after Cruz’s wife and when caught has chosen to call Cruz a liar with no evidence whatsoever.
Trump didn’t ATTACK Heidi Cruz, he THREATENED her. I will remind you that there is a pic of Cruz’s daughters with Mrs. Trump at one of the debates. Do you think if Cruz thought ill of her, that they would have been allowed anywhere near her?
All this says more about Liz Mair than it does about Trump or Cruz or their wives.
Of course if someone THREATENS your wife, you are going to go right to defending your wife. It’s the right response.
You wouldn’t recognize a jerk if he tried to take an old lady’s property for personal gain.
Great picture with a good point!
No. I’d go after the people who actually put the pictures out there rather than use it as an excuse to attack a political rival’s wife.
Cruz didn’t have anything to do with the photo release. To suggest otherwise is to accuse him of breaking the law without any evidence whatsoever. Hell this wasn’t even a Cruz SuperPAC! It is an excusively anti-Trump one.
Yet somehow Cruz is in the wrong here? Using Trump’s logic here he should be threatening Kasich’s wife here as well.
Where does it say he should? By the time this came out Trump was already attacking Cruz’s wife.
They must believe the same of Trump’s wife.
That is exactly what I said to another poster. They are projecting their opinions on Ted Cruz. They are trying to deny their own feelings by screaming about it.
I think this issue has been an elephant in the room, and have been wondering how long it would take for someone to see it. I personally would rather stick to the real issues, but now that it is out there....
“Since it proves Cruz is a fake conservative.”
The JEB!, Graham, Nicki Haley, Romney endorsements and hiring Neil Bush pretty much sealed that up.
It was put out by an independent PAC that has nothing to do with Ted Cruz. And for that, Donald Trump threatens Heidi Cruz! Ted Cruz was right to call Donald Trump a COWARD for threatening his wife over something he is not connected with and has no control over. Donald Trump should not be allowed anywhere near ANY political office that would grant him access to the personal information of American citizens.
1. Cruz does not directly control PACs, either those established in his name nor those like the PAC that is running his ads which was started to attack Trump but supports Cruz as a means to an end.
2. There are a myriad of ways politicians and PACs have found to get around the non coordination laws and they are doing so in this election cycle. How Super PACs And Campaigns Are Coordinating In 2016
3. Whether Cruz was directly responsible or not his name was associated with the ad "Or you could vote for Ted Cruz". If he does not agree with the tactic he needs to repudiate it. Silence is assent once you are part of the ad.
4. Trump punched his ticket by telling Cruz if you think this is OK (Silence is assent) then turn about is fair play. Suddenly Ted is talking about microagression.
