Ted & Heidi Cruz's evangelical beliefs are being tested after said video emerged on Wednesday evening. |
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wants to make America great again. But first, he wants to make sure no one messes with his wife Melania ever again.
Mere hours after an anti-Trump group released an ad featuring an old photo of the former model posing nude for GQ magazine and thus questioning her ability to be first lady, the Donald released an ad of his own, this time attacking the wife of his chief rival Ted Cruz. The video appears to show Ted and Heidi Cruz at a February fundraising event, and though the presidential candidate can clearly be seen bowing his head in prayer in order to say grace before his meal, Mrs. Cruz can plainly be seen with her eyes wide open. The ad claims that Heidi Cruz, and by association her husband, are not true evangelicals and that their faith is shallow. "This could hand Mr. Trump the nomination," said Pastor Tim Wilkens, who added that "optics are everything, and while Ted touts himself as the evangelical choice for president, he can't even keep his wife in line. How is he supposed to lead the country when he can't even be the head of his household?"
This is not the first controversy surrounding Heidi Cruz. An audio recording obtained by The Sentinel Dispatch includes the Goldman Sachs investment manager using the phrases "Jeepers Creepers" and "Gosh Darnit," which are clearly tantamount to using the Lord's name in vain.
