In a rare move, Donald Trump says he regrets retweeting an unflattering photo of Ted Cruz’s wife, NBC News reports.
"Yeah, it was a mistake," Trump told New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd in a column published Saturday. "If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have sent it."
Trump retweeted an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz next to his own wife, Melania, after he accused Cruz of being behind or at least knowing about an ad that featured an old picture of his wife posing nude for GQ magazine. Cruz denied being involved with the ad, which was created by an anti-Trump super PAC.
Trump is coming off a bruising week in which he repeatedly backtracked from comments he made to Chris Matthews of MSNBC about abortion and whether women should face "some form of punishment" for getting one if abortions were illegal.
