A Ted Cruz supporter said during an interview on Fox Business Network that it’s “critically important” that Republican voters consider that Donald Trump’s wife Melania is foreign-born and has “posed nude” in a magazine.
On Tuesday, Cruz supporter Andrea McWilliams, a Texas-based lobbyist, told Fox anchor Neil Cavuto that in light of former first lady Nancy Reagan’s death this week, “we should be looking at the first lady candidates, instead of just talking about the men.”

“If Donald trump is elected, Mrs. Trump will be the first first lady that has ever posed nude; the first first lady that’s the third wife [of the president]; and the first foreign-born first lady in this century.” She said, “by contrast,” Cruz’s wife Heidi would be “the first pro-life first lady.”
Melania, 45, is a model from Slovenia who married Trump in 2000. Before their wedding, she posed nude for an issue of a British edition of GQ magazine.
Asked by Cavuto “what difference” any of it made, McWilliams said it was “critically important.”
“You’ve been covering Nancy Reagan, look at what an influencer she was to her husband. … I think posing nude speaks to character,” she said.
A spokesperson for the Trump campaign did not return a request for comment.
