Donald Trump threatened to “spill the beans” about Ted Cruz’s wife Heidi and a campaign spokeswoman followed through in an MSNBC interview Friday.
But “the beans” aren’t what you might have expected.
“Spilling the beans is quite simple when it comes to Heidi Cruz,” Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson told MSNBC Steve Kornacki before rattling off her resume.
“She is a Bush operative; she worked for the architect of NAFTA, which has killed millions of jobs in this country; she was a member on the Council on Foreign Relations who — in Sen. Cruz’s own words, called a nest of snakes that seeks to undermine national sovereignty; and she’s been working for Goldman Sachs, the same global bank that Ted Cruz left off of his financial disclosure,” Pierson said.
“Her entire career has been spent working against everything Ted Cruz says that he stands for,” she added.
Trump and Cruz have been engaged in a war of words over their wives. An anti-Trump super PAC in Utah featured an ad with Melania Trump posing nude for GQ, and Trump blamed Cruz.
Trump responded by threatening to “spill the beans” on Cruz’s wife. He later retweeted a glamour shot of his wife along with an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz saying “No need to spill the beans.”
Cruz saw the ad while campaigning in Wisconsin and responded “Leave Heidi the hell alone.”
