Heidi Cruz Rushed Out By Security After Crowd Turns On Ted Cruz
mashable.com ^ | July 21, 2016

Heidi Cruz, wife of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, was reportedly rushed out of the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night after the crowd turned on her husband at the end of his speech.

Boos rained down on Ted Cruz as he issued a speech calling for people to vote on their "conscience" and declining to officially endorse Donald Trump, despite loud calls for him to do so from the crowd.

With her is Ken Cuccinelli, the former attorney general of Virginia, who has also been firmly anti-Trump.

Cuccinelli reportedly confirmed to journalists that he helped Heidi Cruz leave the scene after the speech out of concern for her safety.

“I was too...until tonight. When I read some insider reports earlier today that he would not endorse Trump I took to my Facebook and said this was his last chance for me.

I’m calling his office tomorrow. I’m done with him. I voted for him in the primary for senate...and the runoff...and the general...and in the presidential primary.

I HATE hypocritical liars. I’m done with him. He signed a loyalty pledge. He is dead to me and in the same class as Bush, Graham and Kasich.”

I commend you for your principles and honesty. Cruz fooled many people, including me until several months ago.

After safely “escaping” the arena, I wish the unholy three had run into the loving arms of the BLM protestors.

“There were a few of us on the convention tread that had the exact same feeling about the way Ted smirked.
I’m thinking he’s having a breakdown. There can be no other reason to destroy his own career like this. The man has got to be smart enough to know the outcome.”

I agree. The more I think about it, the creepier he seems. If i were Heidi, I would be very nervous about staying with him. I’m serious.

I once thought I liked Ken Cucinelli. Now I don’t. Same for Mike Lee. They are both now persona non grata to me.

To hear Ken Cuccinelli tell it he put on his Superman Cape and led Heidi to safety, pushing the media out of the way. Was he a Navy Seal or something? ‘Cause he sure is a bad ass. /s

By the way, he admitted that even delegates from his home state were “physically” moving toward her. How do you move toward someone and not do it physically? Mentally? Old Ken is as stupid as Cruz.

He’s still got a lot of followers on his twitter page.

There are idiots in this country. Look at how many voted for Obama and will vote for Hillary.

He just told us he’s not voting for Trump.

I think he's voting for his conscience, whatever that is. Shakespeare said it best:

First Murderer
Where is thy conscience now?

Second Murderer
In the Duke of Gloucester's purse.

First Murderer
So when he opens his purse to give us our reward, thy conscience flies out.

Second Murderer
Let it go; there's few or none will entertain it.

First Murderer
How if it come to thee again?

Second Murderer
I'll not meddle with it: it is a dangerous thing: it makes a man a coward: a man cannot steal, but it accuseth him; he cannot swear, but it cheques him; he cannot lie with his neighbour's wife, but it detects him: 'tis a blushing shamefast spirit that mutinies in a man's bosom; it fills one full of obstacles: it made me once restore a purse of gold that I found; it beggars any man that keeps it: it is turned out of all towns and cities for a dangerous thing; and every man that means to live well endeavours to trust to himself and to live without it. -- Richard III

Being booed was no threat to her safety. These pro-Hillary traitors like Cuccinelli are just trying to provide nonsensical propaganda to the leftist press to further harm the conservative cause. They, in their delusions, think that they will be the ones to pick up the pieces after they destroy the conservative movement out of spite, but voters aren’t going to forget backstabbing, aiding leftists, or trying to get an election overturned.

During the campaign I tried not to make much of that reaction of his daughter.

There is something freakishly strange about what took place there.

Is this like Hillary having an emergency landing from her plane being shot at?

Is that a REAL picture of Cruz’s dad and Lee Harvey Oswald??? I have NEVER seen that!! I wondered why Trump said that.
