Donald Trump may have “fired” Dennis Rodman from “Celebrity Apprentice,” but the former NBA star isn’t holding any grudges.
In a tweet Friday morning, Rodman took a shot at Ted Cruz, who on Thursday night at the GOP debate in Houston mocked Trump’s run as a reality television host.
“Yes @tedcruz; @realdonaldtrump did fire me on Celebrity Apprentice,” Rodman wrote. “But he’s about to fire your ass too! #MakeAmericaGreatAgain”
Trump and Cruz have been exchanging barbs for weeks as the GOP field narrows and time runs down on this long fight for the party’s presidential nomination.
When the Texas senator jabbed Trump during the debate, he made Rodman part of the punchline.
“In 2013, when I was leading the fight against the ‘Gang of 8’ amnesty bill, where was Donald?” Cruz asked. “He was firing Dennis Rodman on ‘Celebrity Apprentice.'”
Cruz also attacked Trump for allegedly helping to fund the failed immigration reform legislation.
“If you look at the eight members of the ‘Gang of Eight,’ Donald gave over $50,000 to three Democrats and two Republicans,” he said. “And when you’re funding open border politicians, you shouldn’t be surprised when they fight for open borders.”
