George Bush unleashes wrath on Ted Cruz for ‘sucking up’ to Trump [View all]
Former President George W. Bush surprised supporters of his brother Jeb on Sunday when he ripped Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) during a fundraising event in Denver, Politico reported.
Bushs dismissive tone toward the Tea Party lawmaker who worked on his campaign as a domestic policy advisor in 1999 came as a surprise for many of the 100 donors at the event. At one point, Bush reportedly said of Cruz, I just dont like the guy.
I was like, Holy sh*t, did he just say that?' another donor said. I remember looking around and seeing that other people were also looking around surprised.
While the former Texas governor expressed confidence in his brothers ability to win the partys nomination, attendees said, he was generally pleasant during his 35-minute speech, with the exception of his remarks on Cruz, who he reportedly accused of hijacking the GOP in both Texas and Washington.
