Trump camp admits Cruz wasn't involved in Melania ad
The Washington Examiner ^ | 3/30/16 | Al Weaver

Posted on 03/31/2016 8:19:56 AM PDT by Theo

While disavowing Donald Trump's involvement in the National Enquirer story, campaign manager Corey Lewandowski appeared to admit Tuesday that Ted Cruz's campaign had no involvement in the Melania Trump Facebook ad.

This comes after nearly two weeks of accusations from Trump himself that the Texas senator was directly involved.

"For the Cruz campaign to equate that Roger Stone is part of this campaign is akin to us saying that the super PAC that put out the pictures of Melania Trump is part of their campaign." -- Lewandowski

Cruz’s name is on it. It doesn’t get any more “involved” than that.

Its what I’ve been saying. Cruz was being hypocritical when he blame Trump for National Enquirer story. If Trump is at fault there, then Cruz is at fault with Melannia picture

Only took what ten days to admit the truth? But of course Cruz still started the twitter war.

If we could actually get evidence that Cruz campaign bought rights to GQ picture and gave it to the PAC then it will be different. That’s actual evidence

But Cruz's campaign manager bought the rights to the photo from GQ. GQ already confirmed this.

Now, there is no photo evidence how that photo made its way from Jeff Roe to Cruz's PAC for the ad so I assume that's to what Lewandowski is referring.

Trump Team is saying
Trump accusing Cruz of being responsible for Mel ad without evidence . Trump blame Cruz’s henchmen
IS THE SAME AS
Cruz accusing Trump for National Equirer story without evidence. Cruz blame Trump’s henchmen

“But Cruz’s campaign manager bought the rights to the photo from GQ. GQ already confirmed this.”

Where’s your proof of this allegation? A tweet?

Yup. Thought so. You’ve been fooled by a fake tweet. Lots of that going around these days.

There’s internet rumors and Trump said he heard about it from the internet, but there’s no actual proof as of yet

“For the Cruz campaign to equate that Roger Stone is part of this campaign is akin to us saying that the super PAC that put out the pictures of Melania Trump is part of their campaign. Now they can deny that, and they can say they have no communication, but the two are exactly equal”

This is the “admission”?? What a nonsensical headline designed to add fuel to the media fire.

It is possible to find out if someone actually investgiate it. Someone running the ad needs right to those pictures

Yes, that’s a portion of the inappropriate ad that “Make America Awesome” released. Your point?

I forgot the part where ted Cruz disavowed this PAC. And apologized to Donald Trump for bringing his wife and children into this campaign.

Yes. It is.

IF the first part of that sentence is wrong (the speaker assumes it is) THEN the second part of that sentence is wrong (the speaker again assumes it is).

This, therefore, is wrong, according to the Trump campaign:

“... the super PAC that put out the pictures of Melania Trump is part of [Cruz’s] campaign.”

Very simple logic. If A then B.
