Texas Delegates Break Into Bitter Fighting Over Ted Cruz's Non-Endorsement
By ARLETTE SAENZ and JORDYN PHELPS - Jul 21, 2016, 12:17 PM ET
After withholding an endorsement of Donald Trump in his convention address Wednesday night, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz had some explaining to do to his state delegation Thursday morning.
After taking questions from Texas delegates at a breakfast in Cleveland -- and explaining that “I am not in the habit of supporting someone who attacks my wife and attacks my father” -– the delegation devolved into bitter infighting.
A handful of delegates took their disagreements outside the ballroom after Cruz concluded and broke into full-out shouting matches.
One Cruz supporter grew emotional as she argued with two delegates angry with his decision not to endorse.
