“I look at the situation of Liz Cheney and I just think it’s sad,” Cruz said. “I’ve always liked her, I haven’t agreed with her on everything, I think she’s a bit too eager to send in the Marines and to invade countries all over the planet, but I’ve always liked her and I think she falls into the category of people who Donald Trump just broke, just shattered.”

Cruz famously attacked Trump multiple times on the 2016 campaign trail, particularly after Trump directly insulted the Texas senator’s wife.

“She hates Donald Trump so much that it just has overridden everything in her system,” he continued. “She’s lashing out at Trump and Republicans and everything, and she’s become a Democrat and it’s sad to watch what has happened. It is Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
