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.

Brent Bozell's response:

Wrong. You invited me to pander for support for your campaign. I guess I forgot to tell you I can't be bought.

Even if I wasn’t a Trump supporter, the way these things work is that Bozo needs money for his think tank and Trump has it. So without knowing any other details, I would believe Trump on this.

Can’t wait until President Trump starts to show our enemies around the world that the US doesn’t take their lying crap either, and there’s a new sheriff in town!

Well at least the Donald isn’t retweeting links to a neo nazi account like he did yesterday.

Of course, he came to The Donald. I guess he didn’t get his money. Or not enough. Or like some people I could name, Bozell doesn’t remember his gift.

“Well at least the Donald isn’t retweeting links to a neo nazi account like he did yesterday.”

You guy’s still waving that failed attack around?

That horrid “nazi” tweet of Jeb Bush in front of Trump Tower. LOL!

I find it hilarious that he really thinks Trump begged him for anything.

In ad tirade Cruz et al base attack ad on a flat out lie;

“This is actually a pretty good ad exposing how Trump has used eminent domain to bulldoze an elderly woman’s home to create a limo parking lot for his casino:”

Ted Cruz HAMMERS Trump on Eminent Domain in new TV ad - VIDEO]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3387091/posts

“This is actually a pretty good ad exposing how Trump has used eminent domain to bulldoze an elderly woman’s home to create a limo parking lot for his casino:”

That is a stinking steaming lie. It’s a sad day on FR when conservatives on FR pretend that stinking steaming lie isn’t in the room like many did on that thread. Despicable!

I KNOW Donald didn’t give me any money. If he did, there would be one more white Oscar nominee for best picture.

I woke up this morning thinking, what if Trump was on the other side - on the Democrat side?

Do you ever get replies on that?

Amazing people don’t get the irony of that.

Especially on the same day Ted Cruz tweeted the lying ad “This is actually a pretty good ad exposing how Trump has used eminent domain to bulldoze an elderly woman’s home to create a limo parking lot for his casino:”

Unreal! So much for “thoroughbred conservative” or constitutional conservative. Why tweet out a lie??

I’m surprised The Donald even knows who Bozell is. Trump has said that he wanted to help NR out financially. I guess that’s not on the table anymore.

He’d be Obama, only thinner-skinned and more petulant.

Is that even possible?

The bulldozing lie is the worst thing Cruz has done this election cycle. How many other lies has he told in his career?
