Cruz: My Wife Is 'Way Out of' Trump's League

Sen. Ted Cruz delivered a strong message to Donald Trump after the real estate mogul threatened on Twitter to “spill the beans” on Cruz’s wife, Heidi.

"She is way out of his league. If he wants to get in a character fight he should stick with me,” Cruz told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos in an interview on "Good Morning America" today.

Trump threatened Cruz yesterday after the anti-Trump super PAC, Make America Awesome, released an attack ad featuring a racy image of the billionaire's wife, Melania, from her former modeling days.

Cruz also defended his call to empower law enforcement to patrol Muslim neighborhoods following Tuesday's terror attacks in Belgium.

"Yesterday reminded everyone that we are facing a war from radical Islamic terrorism. President Obama, Hillary Clinton, they refuse to acknowledge, they refuse even to say the words radical Islamic terrorism,” Cruz said.

When pressed on whether targeting Muslim neighborhoods was constitutional, Cruz said, “What we should targeting is radical Islamic terrorism and the political correctness of this administration. They refuse to acknowledge that we are facing a global jihad from radical Islamic terrorism. And indeed after just about after every one of these attacks, whether Paris or San Bernardino and certainly coming after Brussels, President Obama goes on national television and lectures Americans on Islamophobia. Enough is enough.”
