That National Enquirer Ted Cruz "bombshell" confirmed a huge nothingburger
Twitter ^ | 2/24/2016 | Some guy who took a picture

Posted on 03/24/2016 3:53:37 PM PDT by 20yearsofinternet

Link goes directly to picture of the article that's good enough to read.

FULL Disclosure: I'm not a Cruz supporter, but I hate this kind of sleaze and I'm hoping that we can put this to rest before it gets submitted 500 times.

The entire article is based off of the threat from a hoax "Anonymous" account on Twitter, which later turned out to be a RickRoll (all related tweets have since been deleted). I am pretty sure the "details" are actually lifted from replies to the original tweet, LOL. Since they're deleted, I can't be sure. Point being, it was all a hoax and there's nothing there at all, and that's what the article is based off of.

Anyway, just wanted to put it out there that it's typical NE trash, not one of their once-per-decade real bombshells.

Carry on with the War of the Wives. :)

There has been far too much sleaze thrown around by supporters of both candidates, and we ought to be acting like Adults instead of Democrats.

Everyone sing the praises of your candidate, and stop trying to grease ball the other guy.

Who cares? It was probably a false flag.

To be fair, the others were ZOMG L@@K!!! clickbait to articles hyping it up. But, if it gets pulled, no biggie, just wanted to put it out there that it’s 100% total BS based on some other BS from the internet that’s now almost a month old.

We will see. Conservative Treehouse is covering it. Maybe it will die out, maybe not.

Nothing worse than a New York City resident with an attitude and a twitter account.

I don’t believe it. Who in their right mind would find Ted Cruz even remotely attractive?

Got in before the pull!

If Conservative Treehouse is “covering” it then you can be guaranteed it is a lie.

It really doesn’t matter if it’s BS or not.

The real issue here at FR is censorship. The moderators do not believe we are adult enough to rationally discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of the “gossip”.

So they pull it.

Well, it remains to be seen. But the National Enquirer has a pretty good record on this particular kind of story. And frankly, they tell fewer lies than the NY Times or the Washington Post.

Evidently the full article is still on the news stands, but there’s a brief summary at the Enquirer.

Time will tell, presumably.
