What he said about Heidi Cruz, wife of rival candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)
“Lyin’ Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!”
Context
Twitter, late at night, after an anti-Trump super PAC (not the Cruz campaign) ran an ad using an old photo of Melania Trump. The next day he shared an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz beside one of Melania. Cruz said his campaign had no role in the ad.
