WASHINGTON (AP) — Ted Cruz is saying that Donald Trump's tweet that threatened to "spill the beans" on his wife was "gutter politics" and "reached a new low."
Cruz, in New York City, said Trump tries to "attack and bully people" but should know that spouses and children are off-limits.
Trump issued a vague threat on Twitter on Tuesday to disclose something about Heidi Cruz. This, in response to an ad made by an outside political group that features a provocative photo of Trump's wife, Melania, when she was a model and before they were married.
Trump misidentified the Cruz campaign as the source of the ad.
The Texas senator says Trump launches personal attacks when he wants to change the subject, suggesting Trump wanted to divert attention from Utah, where he lost to Cruz on Tuesday night.
Lyin' Ted Cruz denied that he had anything to do with the G.Q. model photo post of Melania. That's why we call him Lyin' Ted!

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!
