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, you’re in New York, you’ve seen this a lot. When Donald gets scared, when he gets angry, when he’s 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, she’s the daughter of missionaries in Africa, she’s my best friend in the world, and if Donald wants to get in a character fight, he’s 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 Donald’s 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 he’s 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.

Trump hasn’t done anything but inject poison into this campaign from the first day. Hillary is laughing all the way to 1600 Penn Ave.
“He threatened my wife” - Such Bull Shite”
No. It’s actually the truth.
Do you know what the truth is?
Exactly right. So why didn't Cruz disavow the ORIGINAL ad. To my knowledge he still hasn't.
“You know Ted had nothing to do with this. He is not legally permitted to even talk with PACs about such tactics, let alone coordinate such a thing.”
Do you write Stand-Up?
Again, as I said before. I don’t think she is a whore because she posed nude. I’m sure the likes of Cruz have never masturbated to a naked woman but the rest of the country isn’t necessarily as perfect as he is. Like I said, Jesus had the same opportunity to make a woman look like a whore. Read the scriptures to see how he handled it.
“Melania put these pictures out there.”
THAT’S your conspiracy theory?..Come on, man!
What lie?
Trump can defend his wife just fine. Does Cruz have to defend everything everyone says about Trump?
Everybody knows Cruz has nothing to do with the PAC in question, but it does show that Ted Cruz was correct to label Trump a coward (and I would add, slimeball). Donald Trump must never be allowed to get near any government office that allows him to gain access to the personal information of American Citizens.
“Trump can throw poop at everyone and then when someone tries to wipe it off themselves...they call that person vile and disgusting for touching excrement. Trump logic 101.”
And the Trumpbots, rather than wipe off the poop, will lick it all up because it came from Trump.
Fashion career in modeling, vast majority very clothed, supported herself, succeeded. Smart, compassionate and patriotic. That image taken out of context was chosen to attack.
The sum total of Melania’s career is something to be proud of not ashamed of. All the Ted PACs and all the Anti Trump PACs can’t make a silk purse into a sow’s ear, nor can they change Melania Trump from the fine woman she is.
By trying to destroy Melania to promote Cruz and by Cruz stepping aside to condone these ads as well as other chicanery on his behalf, makes the PAC and Cruz the true butt(s) of the election cycle.
I didn’t call her a whore, but she put herself in that position.
TED didn’t do anything. I am sure this is not a tactic he would ever sanction.
He has no control over PACs. In fact, he’s legally prohibited from even having contact with them.
So stop defaming him with scurriless claims.
or better yet, he’ll just “spill the beans” on everyone!~
First of all it was semi nude, not nude and just about every (hot) actress or model does semi nudes these days and a lot of them do full nudes particularly European models/actresses. I don’t see it is a big deal for the then Miss Melanija Knavs to pose in her birthday suit.
Your connections don't work here.
Try getting into biblical discussion some other day it doesn't wash in this discussion.
“I know everyone is ignoring the obvious. This is a photo she posed for AND someone other than Cruz’s campaign released it.”
Obviously the fundamental truth that Trumpbots can’t stand to admit.
Cruz should ignore this, forget about frump and the bs. You can’t beat frump at the slime game just like frump can’t win at debating Cruz.
Alinsky tactics. project what you are onto your enemy. Therefore call Ted a liar.
..Trump knows he has to rebrand Cruz as a liar to take away his strength...
There is no rebranding to it.
If only the Trumpers would realize this before it is too late.
Wow!!!....I’ll let your comment stand for other Freepers as a testament to your character.....
BTW, When Ted was clearly given the opportunity to denounce the ad....he didn’t....just gave a mealy-mouth lawyer answer....”I don’t have control”
Trump may be boorish...he may be crude....he may not have a complete command of all the details on every issue....but at least he’s not a complete scum-ball like Cruz...
Over the past couple of months I’ve watched Cruz disintegrate into a petty bitter a$$hole....Very disappointing since he was at the top of my list....
