Donald Trump escalated his feud with Ted Cruz on Twitter Tuesday — but this time he also involved the Texas senator's wife.
The real estate mogul tweeted that the Texas senator should "be careful" or he would "spill the beans on your wife" Heidi Cruz.
"Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!," he tweeted Tuesday evening, just minutes before polls closed in Arizona. Trump tweeted and deleted a similar version of the Tweet about 10 minutes earlier.
Trump appears to be referring to a Facebook advertisement targeted to Mormons that shows Trump's wife, Melania, posing nude. That ad was produced by an anti-Trump super PAC, Make America Awesome, which has no known connection to the Cruz campaign.
Cruz responded on Twitter by saying that the ad was not from him and if he went after his wife, then Trump is a "coward."
"Pic of your wife not from us. Donald, if you try to attack Heidi, you're more of a coward than I thought. #classless," Cruz tweeted.
Heidi Cruz is a senior executive for Goldman Sachs, and took a leave from in order to help her husband's campaign. She has become one of the campaign's most accomplished fundraisers.

Never, ever threaten. Threatening gives them a heads up on what you have on them. Either do it or never speak of it.
Oh it’s from Cruz, all right, and was disgusting. But what Heidi Cruz has done is worse than most Americans can imagine.
come on. there’s no way ted didn’t know about and could have stopped that ad.
they’re both dirty players. that’s fine. it’s politics.
if trump has some dirt on the wife, Cruz invited it with that ad about Trump’s wife
Didn’t Cruz just attack Trump’s wife? Who’s the real coward?
Apparently this was in response to Cruz:

“Cruz ad slut-shames Trump’s wife”
No, it was Liz Mair who put out the ad as a part of her “Make America Awesome Again” PAC.
Cruz, Romney, Bush, Beck. What is the difference?
Please share.
Unless of course you have nothing but your own bluster to start with.
They always tie the PACS to the republican candidates but they just skate over that here. Seems to me it’s reasonable to respond to photos of your wife.
Melania obviously had nothing to hide. Many people don’t realize Cruz is Mr. Goldman Sachs.
Is that like we only quoted CNN in Iowa on Dr. Carson?
BS. “Wild Claim” my foot.
it’s a fair way to tell cruz leave his wife alone.
doesn’t seem “wild” to me
What has she done ???
Cruz should have said, the pic of your wife wasn’t done by my people and I wholeheartedly condemn those who used that picture in an attempt to influence voters to vote for me. It was wrong. And while we’re at it, I apologize for picking on your 78-yo senior citizen sister. That was wrong also
But I don’t think he has it in him
Attacking Trump’s nobody wife (she’s not a poliical or globalist player) with shaming; is different to attacking Heidi’s CFR NAFTA globalist ambitions.
I showed the ad to my wife last night thinking it was pro-Trump and we giggled thinking you choose: A babelicious First Lady or Ted “Mr. Haney” Cruz?
“Cruz, Romney, Bush, Beck. What is the difference?”
All of those are GOpe . No difference.
What has Canadian Cruz done for Americans or Texans? not a damn thing just allowed Iran to build nukes to nuke the USA by Cruz’s voting yes on the Corker bill.
I hope that’s a teaser and your about to spill forthwith. Otherwise mehh...
