Report Copyright Violation | Ted Cruz says Christian faith enabled him to forgive Trump's 2016 attacks on family Conservative Texas Sen. Ted Cruz explained Wednesday that his Christian faith was instrumental for his ability to forgive President Donald Trump for the hurtful things he said and tweeted during the 2016 presidential election.
Cruz, 49, spoke with ABC News' Paula Faris for her “Journeys of Faith” podcast this week over the phone in the middle of a busy voting day on Capitol Hill.
Cruz was asked specifically about how he was able to overlook the fact that Trump said some nasty things about him and his wife during the 2016 election when Cruz was arguably Trump’s most viable contender for the Republican nomination.
Cruz is now one of Trump’s most vocal supporters in the U.S. Senate.
“There is no doubt that forgiveness is critical to what it means to be a Christian,” Cruz told Faris. “I try to forgive, certainly. As God has forgiven us, we are commanded to do the same.”
He added that the call to forgive others is stated clearly in the Lord’s prayer.
“‘Forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us,’” Cruz explained. “That is foundational. It is not easy. It is human to allow your feelings to be hurt and hold a grudge.”
