CLEVELAND — Sen. Ted Cruz's camp fired back at Chris Christie Thursday, accusing the governor of having "turned over his political testicles long ago."
Jeff Roe, Cruz's former campaign manager, took to the airwaves to hit New Jersey's governor after Christie spent lthe morning and last night trashing Cruz after the Texas lawmaker failed to endorse GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday.
"That guy turned over his political testicles long ago," Roe said on the Chris Stigall Show on Philadelphia radio. "So I don't take what he has to say with any meaning. You know, he embarrassed himself pretty quickly in this."
Christie endorsed Trump shortly after ending his own presidential bid and now heads his transition team. He lost out in the battle to be Trump's running mate.
Roe's response came after Christie unleashed on Cruz Wednesday night after the lawmaker's speech during the GOP convention. Christie called the speech "awful" and "selfish."
"He signed a pledge," said the governor, one of Trump's closest advisers. "It's his job to keep his word ... Our words should matter. That's what disgusts people out in the audience about politicians."
Christie didn't up on hitting Cruz the next morning, either.
"I wasn't the least bit surprised," Christie said at a New Jersey GOP breakfast event.
"That's who he is and it's why he is the most disliked person in either party on Capitol Hill," he said. "That was on full display last night."

This could really make me like Christie again.
I hate Ted Cruz.
Has anyone been listening to Rush today? I wonder how he’s spinning (or ignoring) what Cruz did last night...
Devil reincarnate.
Cruz hanging around that lunatic Beck too much, smoking their own dope. Both ships are sinking fast.
“Folks you cannot fake good and loving kids.”
I think the Cruz daughters are good a loving kids. I’m thinking of the photo of them hanging out with Melenia, in happier days. I also think they are the victims of extreme mental and psychological abuse in their role as stage props for their egomaniacal father (if he is that).
I agree. Likely behind the scenes Cruz’s marriage is hanging by a thread. The guy most likely has had emotional/psychological issues his entire life and never sought counseling. This is not a person to be entrusted with the Presidency.
Chris Christie is actually trying to defeat Hillary!
I respect a guy putting in an effort over someone that thinks it’s all about him, with some snobby attitude that he is God’s gift to the nation.
Somebody needs to hand Cruz a Luger and lock his crazy azz in his office.
And Mike Lee, who was screaming “We Love You Ted” during his speech..LOL Im sorry but hearing a guy say that sounds really really gay..who knows maybe Teddy plays for both teams
Cruz is competing with Hillary for the Liar in Chief title. Further, he attracts liars to him like money draws Democrats.
“I hate Ted Cruz.”
I understand, sir, but you are going to have to take a number and wait in line along with all the others.
Yes I feel terribly sorry for the little Cruz girls, perhaps social services can intervene ...
Cruz is a globalist..always been a globalist like Hillary. He is a fraud and I’m glad people are waking up. He is a power hungry arrogant jerk
He wants Hillary so he can run for his own ambition..it’s so obvious. He would never get a nomination after this..never
Ted Cruz and Glenn Beck have been reenacting the scene at the end of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” where they come out shooting against the Bolivian Army.
Or, Ted Cruz and Glenn Beck have been reenacting the scene at the end of “Thelma and Louise” where the women drive over the cliff in their convertible.
They want Hillary Clinton elected, they really do think they have a shot in 2020 against Hillary Clinton..I guess this can put to rest the whole Ted Cruz supports our 2nd Amendment rights, PLEASE he doesn’t support it because if he did he would do the RIGHT THING and support someone who will preserve those rights instead of someone who wants to take them away
Why is he digging himself a bigger hole?
I wonder why he is doing this? It cannot help him.
Christie manned up and kept his pledge - Cruz boasted about how his word was good and then betrayed that trust - Cruz is not much different than Hillary as far as being trustworthy.
Whatever i’m tired of his crap. Throw him out of the convention and the Republican Party. GET HIM OUT!
