FORT WAYNE, Indiana (AP) — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said Thursday that former House Speaker John Boehner let his "inner Trump come out" when he called Cruz "Lucifer in the flesh" during a talk to students at Stanford University.
Responding to comments made by Boehner in the town hall-style event Wednesday, Cruz attempted to turn Boehner's graphic criticism into a slam on Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump before a campaign stop in Fort Wayne, Indiana Thursday.
