George W. Bush Not a Fan Ted Cruz? Former President Slams Texas Senator at Jeb’s Event

Presidents are under a lot of pressure during their time in office, which means it is no surprise to hear that when they leave the White House they get a little loose in their words. Take, for example, President George W. Bush. It's being reported the former leader of our country recently unloaded a whole heap of truth and admitted that he's not a fan of presidential hopeful, Senator Ted Cruz, who just so happens to be running against Bush's brother, Jeb Bush.

And it's not like he side-stepped a question, as politicians typically do; he apparently came right out and said, "I just don't like the guy."

Per a report from Politico, Bush was attending one of his brother's events for his campaign. During the night, W. was reportedly rather pleasant, but when it came to Cruz, he wasn't beating around the, well, bush.

First up, President Bush and Mrs. Bush: "When women are educated, their families are healthier, more educated, and successful. When women join in their nation’s economic life, their communities and countries are more stable and prosperous. And when women are healthy, their communities thrive. As parents of daughters, and as grandparents to two little girls, we are reminded every day that the choices we make and the actions we take will shape the world they inherit. That’s why through our work at the Bush Institute, we’re addressing inequities that still affect women all around the world.” #InvestInWomen For more highlights from the 2015 Global Women's Network (#GWN2015), a summit focused on ideas, innovations, and partnerships, check Glamour.com tomorrow!

As Gawker notes, Cruz remains grateful to Bush, despite the comment.

On Bush's thoughts, Cruz told Politico, "I have great respect for George W. Bush, and was proud to work on his 2000 campaign and in his administration. It's no surprise that President Bush is supporting his brother and attacking the candidates he believes pose a threat to his campaign."

Cruz further noted that he has "no intention" of coming back with an attack against President Bush.

"I met my wife Heidi working on his campaign, and so I will always be grateful to him."

So, our question: Does George W. Bush think Ted Cruz is a threat to Jeb? Or, does he really just not like the guy?
