CLEVELAND Donald Trump supporters taunted Sen. Ted Cruzs wife as she made her way out of the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night after her husband declined to endorse Trump during his primetime speech.
Trump supporters yelled Goldman Sachs! as Heidi Cruz, who works at the investment firm, was escorted away from her seat by former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and others. Cuccinelli, who worked with the Cruz campaign, was visibly angry over the yelling at Heidi Cruz. Standing with colleagues behind the Virginia delegation, he listed ways in which Trump had insulted the Cruz family during the presidential primaries, including linking Ted Cruzs father, Rafael Cruz, to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Bad idea, Cuccinelli said when asked about the booing for Cruzs speech. Unity, Trump style. ... Cuccinelli stood next to Heidi Cruz and applauded as the Texas senator finished his speech. Trump supporters seated nearby yelled out Lyin Ted! and Go home!
State Sen. Richard H. Black, R-Loudoun, said Cruz in some ways brought the reaction on himself by not doing the one thing people expected from him.

(135,425 posts)1. Real charmers--that woman has mental health issues. She was found by the side of the road in a
state of acute distress several years ago. Way to harass and denigrate, GOP!!!
She suffers enough being married to Ted, so now the Trumpeteers want to bully her?
She DID used to work for Goldman Sachs, in fact, she was very happy in the job when she married Ted. It was losing her own capable professional identity that helped push her into a state of depression and upset.
All that said, attacking a spouse because you don't like what is said up on stage by a politician is what dumbasses do!
