Ted Cruz “Enthusiastically” Endorses Trump, the Guy Who Called His Wife Ugly and Suggested His Father Was in Cahoots With JFK’s Assassin

Many people in Washington have no shame and zero dignity. One person who demonstrates this on a near-daily basis? Senator Ted Cruz.

The lawmaker from Texas again proved that he is perfectly happy to debase himself for sport when he endorsed Donald Trump for president last night, writing on X, “I am proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for President. Now is the time for us to unite to oust Joe Biden and save our country from the Democrats’ destructive agenda.” In an interview with Sean Hannity, Cruz spoke about his endorsement of of Trump, saying, “I look forward to supporting him enthusiastically.’

Obviously, there are a lot of reasons why people should not endorse Trump—from the 2021 insurrection to his continued, not-very-subtle calls for further violence on his behalf. But when it comes to Cruz specifically, there are a few rather personal reasons one might have thought the GOP lawmaker would not be so eager to enthusiastically embrace Trump’s candidacy. They include:

The fact that Trump suggested Cruz’s father was in cahoots with the man who killed John F. Kennedy, saying, “His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald’s being—you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don’t even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it. But I think it’s horrible. I mean, what was he doing—what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting? It’s horrible.”The fact that Trump threatened to “spill the beans” about Cruz’s wife, Heidi CruzThe fact that Trump implied Heidi Cruz was uglyFor his part, Cruz previously called Trump a “sniveling coward,” a “bully,” a “small and petty man who is intimidated by strong women,” and a “pathological liar” who “lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth.” Then, Cruz went on to endorse Trump to win in 2016, 2020, and now 2024. (The Texas lawmaker also tried to help Trump steal the last election, because of course he did.)

Will Cruz ever acknowledge how wild it is for him to go to bat for Trump given the ex-president’s attacks on his family—as well as the extremely accurate things he said about the former guy before he decided to forget all that? We’ll give you two guesses, but you’ll only need one.
