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."

To plant his cross in, presumably.
Dude's got a monstrous martyr complex.
A man with no friends, that tells me a lot about Ted Cruz.
[I have my problems with Christie, but not being ballsy isn’t one of them.]
Perhaps Ted was busy shagging Randy-Mandy during Christie’s blistering on-air indictment of Hillary the other night...
To help unify the party in its efforts to defeat Killary the despicable.
Why is this hard to understand?
“He’s a plant.”
Would not doubt it for a second.
He will alarkways have curmudgeons Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and Ben Shaprio in his corner..all unlikeable aholes as well
I am no Christie fan for POTUS, but I have a whole lot more respect for him now than I will ever have for Ted Cruz!
I was thinking more like the scene from Brokeback Mountain...
Right, Roe. Say what you want about Christie, but no balls? With a straight face?
Press Releases from a Political Ghost?
Cruz has been a very very long term project by the Establishment, hoping to plant a cuckoo in the Conservative nest.
Well done. That statement is true in both the figurative and literal sense.
After. It was during the early days of this campaign, when Cruz was still ‘bear hugging’ Trump and ‘smothering him with love’ as a tactic.
The kids gravitated towards Melenia and they were all doing something on their cell phones. Maybe one of the image wizards around here can post it.
Classy Cruz showing who he is again.
Mike Lee and Ted Cruz should rent a room together in Cleveland.
Except for the reptilian father, the whole family seems afraid of him based on those out takes. As if errors will have consequences. Heidi seems equal parts dutiful and resentful.
Not enough grounds, absent specific complaints. It is a sad situation.
Now THAT...is scary!
Sad? I think it’s beautiful!
He has outed himself for the complete a-hole and traitor he is. The best part is that now Texans who already saw through him can quit wasting energy on exposing this numb nuts for what is and set about making damn sure he doesn’t win another election in this state. Then maybe he will realize his true calling . . .
A circus clown!
He’s definitely got the face!
Until Jeb flamed out, Ted was the "conservative" that was going to end up nowhere. Then he becomes the designated anti-Trump weapon with none other than Neil Bush joining Team Ted.
There are no coincidences. The ties that bind Ted to the Dynasty go back a ways.
