How to Spot a Liar: The Case Against Amanda Carpenter

Danger and Play ^ | 3/27/2016 | MIKE CERNOVICH

Ted Cruz has been accused of having at least five mistresses, including CNN anchor and former Cruz employee Amanda Carpenter. The media claims Cruz has denied these accusations.

Cruz is lying, according to multiple trial lawyers and experts on persuasion. His lies are hard to spot, because his lies are also truthful.

Consider what Cruz said in response to the news story:

“Let me be clear this National Enquirer story is garbage. It is complete and utter lies. It is a tabloid smear and it is a smear that has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen.”

Let’s look at what Cruz did not say. Cruz could have said, “I have never cheated on my wife.” Why didn’t he?

Consider the oath witnesses take before testifying. “I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” Isn’t that redundant?

Ted Cruz is accused of having had an affair with five women. He could say, “That’s a lie. I did not have five mistresses.” If Cruz did have one mistress, then he’d have told the truth (he didn’t have five) but not the whole truth (he had one).

Exactly. I noticed this this morning when Cruz was throwing his hissy fit on Fox Sunday.

He never once denied the actual allegations.

CRUZ is now deep into B.J. CLINTON territory.

Plus he called Trump a rat. When someone says something untrue do you call them a rat?

A man running for top Alpha Male on the planet acts like an Alpha Male?

The horror!

[vpintheak]

What a load of crap. I cannot believe people want to hate someone on the right so bad, here, at FR, that they would post and then comment in agreement with this crap.
Absolute gutter slime worthy of the left.

“It is complete and utter lies” is not a denial?

[euram]

His rather clumsy reaction and his blaming of Trump means that this story will only continue to spread. If he had very calmly issued a complete and total denial of ever having cheated on his wife, and left it at that, it would most likely not have spread very far. However, Cruz has gotten into the habit of blaming everything he can on Trump, i.e., the Chicago riot, the disruption taking place at his rallies, the Brussels bombings, and now blaming Trump for what the pro-Cruz Super PAC started.

Cruz tries to say that his campaign only sticks to the issues, but listen to his long “blame Trump” for the Chicago riots, and his other “blame Trump” for the Brussels bombings, he’s a very pathetic, and desperate little man.

Another blog no one has ever heard of? This bets better and better!

Keep gossip mongering. It’s right there in Proverbs.

I'm guessing it wasn't a happy Easter at the Cruz home (those two daughters never look happy ever anyway.)

I wonder if Heidi is out of the lamp-throwing stage? I imagine a couple of days ago the lamps were flying.

If Heidi has been frigid before, as Carpenter implied, Ted ain't seen nothing yet.

Then again our last and first Globalist Twofer, Bill and Hillary, survived and Hil stood by her man and reaped the money and power as was their plan. Will be interesting if Heidi does the same.

Another blog no one has ever heard of?

Mike Cernovich gets more hits than you do.

But probably not as many women as Ted Cruz.

[Sasparilla]

Waiting for Ted to say, “I did not have sexual relations with THAT woman, ...insert appropriate name...”

[Tupelo]

Well, I guess I believe Cruz.
So far all I am seeing/hearing is, He said, She said.
Evidence? Witness?
So far. Nuttin Honey.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I don’t have a blog, so that’s undoubtedly true.

I agree with your assessment. An innocent person would have immediately stated he has always been faithful to his wife and the tabloid is just a bunch of lies. You do not respond beyond that.

It is still taking a bit of time for the operatives to regroup and come up with a narrative. There is a reason for that too. They are gauging the reaction of the "true believers" and waiting for the other shoe to drop.
