“So we are not anxious in the least”. The wife of Texas Sen.

It began when Cruz supporters pushed forward a meme on Twitter featuring a nude photo of Melania Trump, prompting Trump to threaten to “spill the beans” on Cruz’s wife, Heidi.
In retaliation, Trump, assuming the Cruz campaign was behind the ad, tapped out a tweet threatening to reveal some unnamed but damaging information about Cruz’s wife, Heidi.
“Ted Cruz is the right person to be president of this country”.
He tweeted Tuesday: “Wow @SenTedCruz, that is some low level ad you did using a picture of Melania in a G.Q. shoot.Be careful or I will spill the beans on your wife”, before deleting and re-posting, “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!”
The group has been active so far this cycle running ads against Trump, seeking to highlight his record on eminent domain and past support for a single-payer healthcare system, as they did in Utah ahead of the caucuses there on Tuesday night.
In fact, the picture of Melania was commissioned by lads’ mag British GQ from January 2000 – during the former model’s heyday. It shows her lying naked on fur while staring seductively into the camera. Over the photo, but not covering Melania, thank goodness, ran the headline: “Meet Melania Trump”. For “It Takes a Village”, then-first lady Clinton accepted no advance and donated most of the royalties to charity. “He called the billionaire businessman “#classless” for suggesting that he would share secrets about his wife.
“I didn’t start the fight with Lyin’Ted Cruz over the GQ cover pic of Melania, he did”. “And I got to tell you, No. 1, Heidi – my wife – she’s the daughter of missionaries in Africa”. Heidi Cruz is also her husband’s chief fundraiser and has met with faith and conservatives leaders in recent months to shore up support for his struggling campaign to take down Trump.
