It's not his own PAC that did it. It's an attack PAC with no affiliation to Cruz that was formed before Cruz was the main opposition.

Even if it was his PAC, Cruz can't control his PAC but also, not his.

PACs are going to try everything in the book. They are basically anonymous and have nothing to loose and every reason to make the news. The easiest thing to do is ignore them. Nobody is exempt from their stupidity and you can't take it out on candidates when PACs do things (especially when they are unrelated). Cruz wouldn't even be able to imply that they should quit it even if it was his.

This isn't the first time Trump has appeared to not understand how PACs work. He asked others to return or not accept money from certain people in their PAC. Should PACs be dead, yes. Do they exist yes. Should somebody's wife be harassed on twitter from a presidential hopeful just because of something a PAC said who literally nobody can control. Anyone who says yes is pretending ignorance.
