Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) sparred with one another in television appearances this week, each saying that former President Trump “broke” the other.
Cruz appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show on Tuesday and said the Wyoming representative had “Trump derangement syndrome.”
“ think she falls into the category of people who Donald Trump just broke, just shattered,” Cruz said, according to Yahoo News.
“She hates Donald Trump so much that it just has overridden everything in her system. She’s lashing out at Trump and Republicans and everything, and she’s become a Democrat, and it’s sad to watch what has happened,” he added.
Cheney later responded saying that Cruz was “desperate for political approval.”
“Trump broke Ted Cruz,” Cheney said in a clip aired on CNN. “A real man would be defending his wife, and his father and the Constitution.”
Trump made a series of personal attacks on Cruz’s family during the 2016 presidential primaries, suggesting that Cruz’s father was involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy and posting an unflattering photo of Cruz’s wife, Heidi, on Twitter, writing: “No need to ‘spill the beans.’ The images are worth a thousand words.”
Cruz responded at the time: “Donald, you’re a sniveling coward, and leave Heidi the hell alone.”
However, after exiting the 2016 presidential primary, Cruz because a staunch defender of Trump during his time in the White House.

I know you’re posturing for the secessionist vote, Ted. But my party, the Republican party, saved the Union. You swore an oath to the Constitution. Act like it. https://t.co/YyQ1XHRhCY

Does Cheney not realize that the Trump cult demands allegiance to the orange god? When a person joins this cult, no one — not even family — matters. So if a member of this cult doesn’t defend his/her own family, how can that member be expected to defend the Constitution?
Cruz used to be rational. Now like the rest of the cult he is a blithering idiot. He thought he needed Trump to win re-election to the senate after he lost the Presidential primary, but I guess he doesn’t realize that selling his soul to Trump has ruined his political career. Cruz may not win re-election to the senate next year. Plenty of people in Texas are still angry at him for fleeing to Cancun while they were freezing last winter. And any chance of Cruz becoming president in the future are gone.
