GOP frontrunner Donald Trump took to Twitter Friday night to blast 2016 rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), GOP Sen. Ben Sasse, and also Fox News.
Trump’s criticism of Sasse follows a series of Sunday-night tweets from the Nebraska Senator aimed at Trump. Politico reported:
“On Sunday night, Sasse tweeted five questions for Trump, ranging from the personal (“You brag abt many affairs w/ married women. Have you repented? To harmed children & spouses? Do you think it matters?”) to the policy-based (Q2: You’ve said you “hate the concept of guns.” Why the change? When did it happen? What’s the 2nd Amendment mean to you?).”
“We are in a moment of constitutional crisis. America already has one post-constitutional party; we don’t need another,” Sasse later said in a statement.
Sasse reportedly went to Iowa to campaign against Trump, making appearances with both Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-TX).
Trump then tweeted a message aimed at his 2016 rival, Cruz, calling him “Canada Ted.”
After blasting Sasse and Cruz, Trump then went after Fox News for not mentioning that he raised $6 million for veterans at his event Thursday night, instead of participating in Fox News’s GOP debate.
