Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said Monday he thinks Donald Trump has a "problem with strong women."
Cruz made the remark during a town hall in Wisconsin when Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly asked him about the personal attacks Trump has directed at both him and his wife. Cruz trails Trump in the Republican presidential race.
The Washington Free Beacon posted a clip of the remarks onto YouTube.
"Listen, I know that Donald — it makes him feel really tough; it makes him feel like a very, very big man to threaten people. And in particular, he seems to have a problem with strong women," Cruz said. "I don't know why that is, but it seems to really bother him."
Regarding Trump's recent threat to
"spill the beans" on Heidi Cruz, the senator said that's an empty threat.
Cruz added that Trump's words have done nothing to his wife's nerves.
"She's been in the business world for 20 years," he said. "She has dealt with bullies, she's dealt with people who think they can just yell and scream at a strong woman and make her cower. Let me tell you, Heidi Cruz is not remotely scared of Donald Trump. She just laughs this off and says, 'listen, everyone knows what Donald says has little to no bearing on reality.'"
