by Misty Severi, Breaking News Reporter
July 30, 2022 11:44 AMFormer President Donald Trump apologized to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for insulting his wife and father during the 2016 GOP presidential primaries, according to a new book by former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
Trump apologized to Cruz and his family in person, an unusual act for the former president who has a reputation for refusing to apologize, Manafort said. Trump had insinuated that Cruz's wife Heidi Cruz was ugly, attached Cruz's father to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, and questioned whether Cruz could be the next president if he was born in Canada.
“On his own initiative, Trump did apologize for saying some of the things he said about Cruz, which was unusual for Trump," Manafort said in the book, according to the Guardian.
