The feud between Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Donald Trump Jr. is spilling into the public eye with a scathing response on X.

Benjamin Domenech, the opinion editor for the conservative Daily Wire, quoted Cruz in a post on X that took aim at Trump's dubious Iran deal. The quote came from an interview between Cruz and Domenech published by The Daily Wire.

"Nearly one thousand Americans have been murdered by the Ayatollah and the mullahs," the Cruz quote read. "It is not remotely in America's interest for us to pay to rebuild that capacity that we just took out."

Don Jr. furiously responded to the quote and denounced it as a lie while blasting Cruz's MAGA credentials.

"The only problem with this quote is that @tedcruz is lying thru his teeth about the deal," Don Jr. wrote. "We're not giving them a cent and he knows that. Using fake news about the peace deal to undermine @realDonaldTrump is the opposite of MAGA."

Although Cruz retweeted Domenech's post quoting him, he didn't immediately fire back at Don Jr.
