On Thursday the wife fight between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump intensified.
Cruz called Trump a “sniveling coward” after Trump tweeted an attack on Heidi Cruz.Cruz said:
I don’t get angry often, but you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that’ll do it everytime. Donald, you’re a sniveling coward, leave Heidi the hell alone.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
The fiery reaction came after Trump retweeted an image from a supporter which contrasted a picture of Trump’s wife along an unflattering picture of Cruz’s wife, with the caption “a picture is worth a thousand words.”
When Cruz was asked if he would support Trump if he was the nominee he said “I’m going to beat him for the nomination. . . Donald Trump is not going to be the nominee.”“@Don_Vito_08: “A picture is worth a thousand words” @realDonaldTrump#LyingTed#NeverCruz@MELANIATRUMPpic.twitter.com/5bvVEwMVF8“

The argument between Trump and Cruz came after an anti Trump PAC ran a Facebook ad targeted to Mormons in Utah that showed Melania Trump posing nude with the caption “Meet Melania Trump, your next first lady. Or you can vote for Ted Cruz on Tuesday.”
Even though the ad was produced by the anti-Trump Super PAC “Make America Awesome” and has no affiliation with the Cruz campaign, Trump responded by tweeting on Tuesday Cruz should “be careful” or he will “spill the beans on your wife.”
