Cruz: Trump Is Attacking My Wife Because He’s ‘Scared,’ ‘Out of His Depth’

Ted Cruz went on a tear against Donald Trump on Fox News Sunday this morning over his attacks on his wife and the wild allegations from National Enquirer report about his supposed affairs––still convinced that came from the Trump camp.

Cruz told Shannon Bream that the Melania Trump nude pic ad was “deplorable,” but it didn’t come for his campaign and it’s no excuse for Trump to “go after my wife Heidi, to go after my family, to attack her directly.”

He said Trump is only doing all this because he’s “out of his depth” on policy and too “scared” to be challenged on his actual policies, like his call to withdraw from NATO. Cruz basically called that insane.

When Bream brought up the National Enquirer report about his supposed affairs, Cruz said yet again he believes this came directly from Trump’s people because longtime Trump advisor Roger Stone was quoted on record in the Enquirer‘s report.
