Ted Cruz’s Daughter Visibly Grimaces at Dad’s Trump Praise

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz‘s daughter subtly pushed back at her father’s kind words for Donald Trump during his victory speech earlier this week, according to a viral video making the rounds online. The Republican senator, whose 180-degree turn on Trump during his first presidential campaign has been well documented, said: “I hope and pray that Donald Trump will be re-elected as president of the United States,” drawing a grimace from one of his daughters, who stood on stage beside him. Moments later, she appeared to tell her mother, Heidi, “Don’t clap for that.” In the 2016 Republican primary, one of the more personal attacks Trump made against Cruz involved insulting his wife‘s looks. Cruz, who around that time called Trump “utterly amoral” and “a narcissist at a level I don‘t think this country’s ever seen,” ended up endorsing Trump wholeheartedly months later.
