Back in 2016, Ted Cruz ran for the Republican nomination. He was regularly belittled by Donald Trump. Trump called the Texas senator’s wife ugly and accused Cruz’s father of being involved in the Kennedy assassination.

At first, Cruz was upset about the slights, making a stink about them during the 2016 RNC. But, pathetically, the GOP lawmakers later became one of Trump’s most ardent toadies. And in recently doing Trump’s bidding, Cruz went after Liz Cheney.
The Texas senator recently told Fox News, “I look at the situation of Liz Cheney, and I just think it’s sad. I’ve always liked her. I haven’t agreed with her on everything. I think she’s a bit too eager to send in the Marines and to invade countries all over the planet, but I’ve always liked her, and I think she falls into the category of people who Donald Trump just broke, just shattered.”
Cheney responded today and hit the Texas senator much harder than he hit her. “I think that Trump broke Ted Cruz,” she remarked. “Ted used to say he was a Constitutional Conservative. But now, he is like, so desperate for political approval that he will even advocate, suggest secession. And I think a real man would be defending his wife and his father and the constitution.”
