The Texas senator’s own history with Donald Trump gets an uncomfortable spotlight.

By Ed Mazza

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) attempted to mock his rivals across the aisle on Monday but managed to deliver a pretty rough self-own about his relationship with former President Donald Trump instead.

Speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News, Cruz ripped Democrats for being too loyal to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

As Cruz’s critics on Twitter noted, many Republicans have marched lock-step with Trump for years, despite his outrageous behavior. Cruz is a prime example.

During the campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, Trump called Cruz “Lyin’ Ted,” attacked his wife’s looks and implied that his father was somehow involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Yet, after Trump became president, Cruz became one of Trump’s staunchest defenders.

3. These people have absolutely no self-awareness. If Trump told Cruz to piss on his wife and kids, ...

... he'd do it.

5. I'd say that's pretty much what happened.

Also, he let the dog shiver alone in the dark.

7. What a waste of an Ivy League education.

Cruz hasn't made an intelligent move in years. And everybody hates his guts. I've done some bad things in my life, but none of them deserved the punishment of having Cruz as my senator...
