#classless.”Ĭruz also ratcheted up his pressure on John Kasich, who fared poorly in Tuesday's contests, to get out of the race, repeatedly calling the Ohio governor a “spoiler.” Donald, if you try to attack Heidi, you're more of a coward than I thought. shoot in his ad' - was a mistaken reference to an online ad by anti-Trump super PAC Make America Awesome, which used a photo of Trump’s wife Melania posing nude in British GQ in 2000 in an attempt to sway conservative Mormon voters.Ĭruz responded via Twitter shortly after: 'Pic of your wife not from us. Trump’s original tweet - which began with “Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. 'So we are not worried in the least, we are focused on our campaign, and we are going to continue to do that.' 'You probably know by now that most of the things that Donald Trump says have no basis in reality,” she told reporters in Wisconsin. He got clobbered in Utah.'įor her part, Heidi Cruz brushed off Trump's overnight tweets. 'The reason he's doing that is because he had a very bad night last night. 'That should be beneath Donald,' he said. The attack on Heidi reveals a lot about Trump's character, Cruz said Wednesday morning.

Stick w/ attacking me-Caroline & Catherine are out of your league.' After the Washington Post published (and subsequently retracted) a cartoon featuring his daughters portrayed as obedient monkeys, he tweeted, 'Classy. It's not the first time Cruz has even used the particular phrase. 'Lyin’ Ted Cruz steals foreign policy from me, and lines from Michael Douglas - just another dishonest politician,' Trump tweeted hours after the interview.

“If Donald wants to get in a character fight he's better off sticking with me, because Heidi is way out of his league,” Cruz said on CNN’s “New Day,” responding to a late-night tweet from Trump warning, 'Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!”Ĭruz, who has been known to occasionally sprinkle in movie references and allusions from time to time, echoed a line uttered by Michael Douglas' character playing the president in the 1995 film 'The American President.'

Trump, largely quiet on Twitter for most of the day, used that as another opening to attack. Ted Cruz began Wednesday by attacking Donald Trump’s character for threatening his wife on Tuesday and blaming his opponent's attack on “a very bad night” in Utah, invoking a movie line to defend his honor. In Trump’s America, men will all be judged based on the attractiveness of their wives, and women will be publicly shamed if they’re not photogenic.Trump: Cruz stole my policies, Michael Douglas' line

You could play this game with literally any two reasonably attractive people, just by finding a bad photo of one and a good photo of the other. In fact, we here at the Slate site thought about creating a side-by-side using a posed photo of Heidi and a squinty one of Melania to prove this point, but then we realized that in doing so we would become complicit in Donald Trump’s ethos of misogynist objectification, closed all tabs, and retreated to our bunker to await the apocalypse.Īnyway, let us all rejoice that Trump’s habit of turning the subtext of various ugly conservative ideas into text has now extended into the realm of matrimony. What makes this image particularly hilarious is that Heidi Cruz is, of course, a conventionally attractive woman who just happens to be making an unattractive expression in that picture, while Melania is studiously making a sexy face. You’ll notice that Trump has cleverly turned the tables on the super PAC that slut-shamed his wife, now implying that Melania’s conventional attractiveness makes her more valuable as a status symbol and therefore presumably more deserving of becoming first lady.
