Heidi Cruz, wife of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, was reportedly rushed out of the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night after the crowd turned on her husband at the end of his speech.

Boos rained down on Ted Cruz as he issued a speech calling for people to vote on their "conscience" and declining to officially endorse Donald Trump, despite loud calls for him to do so from the crowd.

A reporter for the Richmond Times-Dispatch quickly posted a video purportedly of Heidi Cruz being escorted out of the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, where the convention is being held.

With her is Ken Cuccinelli, the former attorney general of Virginia, who has also been firmly anti-Trump.

Cuccinelli reportedly confirmed to journalists that he helped Heidi Cruz leave the scene after the speech out of concern for her safety, saying that people were "physically approaching her, berating her."

Other reporters at the convention also said that they saw Heidi Cruz being ushered out amid heckling from the crowd.

Heidi Cruz had been a target of Trump's, including a retweet of a meme that insulted her appearance.

Reports before Cruz spoke indicated that he did not plan to endorse Trump, although he did congratulate the nominee and admonished the crowd to vote for the candidate that will be "faithful to the constitution."

That wasn't enough for the crowd, which loudly booed Cruz and chanted for Trump.

After leaving the floor, Heidi Cruz reportedly got into a verbal altercation with the head of the Washington delegation, who had berated Ted Cruz following his speech.
