CLEVELAND — Donald Trump supporters taunted Sen. Ted Cruz’s 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 Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

“Bad idea,” Cuccinelli said when asked about the booing for Cruz’s 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.”

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!
