I saw him punch his wife also...couldn’t remember if it was from FR or something I just ran across on youtube...I watched it several times, couldn’t believe the jerk did that with cameras all over the place.... combined with the picture of his daughter not wanting to give daddy a kiss today, that man has some problems that are just under the surface...The US dodged a big bullet by not voting for him..
I decided to Google: Ted Cruz punches wife. There were a lot of articles and youtube videos. Some referred to an accidental blow and elbow. I am submitting this link which shows several views of what happens. It describes him reaching to hug his father after hugging wife and grazing wife’s face with closed hand and elbow in the process of reaching. Perhaps he is just clumsy or not?
