The former White House communications director called out Cruz's reluctance to hold Trump accountable on Thursday morning.

Cruz's relationship with Trump has changed over the past four years. The two campaigned against each other for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, and frequently exchanged public jabs that ranged from political statements to personal offenses. In addition to insulting Cruz's wife and referring to him as"Lyin' Ted," Trump insinuated the Republican senator's father was somehow connected to John F. Kennedy's assassination.

At the time, Cruz reacted with disparaging remarks of his own, calling Trump a"pathological liar,""philanderer," and"a small and petty man who is intimated by strong women." Cruz did not endorse Trump's presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention in 2016, but later he reversed his decision ahead of Election Day.

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz speaks during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on September 30 in Washington, D.C. Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci suggested President Donald Trump's influence has"crippled [Cruz's] backbone" on Thursday.They appeared to reconcile after that, with Trump replacing his original nickname for Cruz with a much kinder one and campaigned for his 2017 reelection to the Senate.

Trump Always Finds A New Way To Remind You Of The Amorality Of The Trump EraTrump attacking Biden’s living son while Biden spoke about his late son was a jarring moment of amorality. I am waiting for the press asking GOP Senators and members of the House (if they can find them) tomorrow about this ugly hateful performance by Trump. Waiting to hear them say they did not watch the debate.

‘Appalling,’ ‘dangerous’: Ex-Trump officials react to Trump debate showingTwo former top Trump officials, Olivia Troye and Elizabeth Neumann, are now spending the weeks before the election warning voters about the President. “I think the President showed the nation exactly who he is last night. I’m just glad he put it on display to see what I’ve been watching behind closed doors in briefings,” says Troye. I do believe just as Trump does, that the Democrats are using the coronavirus as a political weapon to win an election. Do you really think Joe Biden cares if anyone dies from Covid? He said nothing at 50 thou, nothing at 100thou, but now the election is here he’s concerned!

Chris Cuomo Eviscerates Ted Cruz: Why Won’t You Stand Up for Your Wife?Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ostensibly came on Chris Cuomo’s CNN show Wednesday night to talk about the upcoming Supreme Court battle and his latest book.Unsurprisingly, that is not what occurred, as the interview quickly devolved into a 20-plus minute shoutfest where the CNN anchor and senator traded increasingly personal barbs, with Cuomo arguably coming out ahead in the end. (If there ever is a winner in these made-for-trainwreck-TV segments.)Early on in the interview, Cuomo asked Cruz about President Donald Trump refusing to condemn white supremacists and right-wing extremists during the Tuesday night presidential debate, prompting the Texas lawmaker to pivot to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.“The press is partisan in this regard,” Cruz declared. “Ten years ago, 2010, Joe Biden gave a eulogy for Robert Byrd who was a Klan cyclops of the KKK.”“You’re really going to go with that?” Cuomo fired back. “You’re going to go with this weak-ass argument here?! Byrd, who had a complete enlightenment about how hate was wrong, who changed his life, who spoke about it.”After Cruz sarcastically pointed out that he hadn’t “eulogized a klansman,” Cuomo jumped back in and pointed out that Trump has a history of refusing to disavow racism and white supremacy before taking a personal shot at the conservative senator.“He did it in Charlottesville, he did it with David Duke,” the CNN host exclaimed. “The old Ted Cruz, who he called Lyin’ Ted when he wasn’t insulting your wife and father. What happened to that, Ted? I don’t know if he changed or just you changed, for some reason.”The CNN host was, naturally, referencing the contentious 2016 Republican presidential primary between Trump and Cruz, which featured Trump tweeting out insults about Cruz’s wife and peddling baseless conspiracies about Cruz’s father being involved in JFK’s assassination, among other things. Cruz, despite the very personal insults made by Trump, eventually backed the current president during the 2016 elec Ted Cruz should simply declare himself a timeshare since he gets owned so much. Eviscerates? I guess, if eviscerating is open disrespect and childish hostility.

Chris Cuomo Wants to Know Why Ted Cruz Is Such a PunkSen. Ted Cruz joined Chris Cuomo’s CNN program Wednesday night in the hopes of discussing his new book and the battle over the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Supreme Court vacancy. What the Texas senator got, instead, was dragged by Cuomo, who helpfully reminded Cruz that he is a man who remains very dedicated to Trump, despite the fact that the president called Cruz’s wife a fuggo not so long ago.
