[Twitter Report] Breitbart Sitting on Anti-Cruz Story till After NH Vote
Breitbart Twitter ^ | 02/04/2016 | Twitter

Posted on 02/04/2016 1:03:54 PM PST by Greetings_Puny_Humans

Two days ago Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos and Allum Bokhari (the latter's twitter page linked up above) began teasing an "Explosive" Cruz scandal that was supposed to post imminently on Breitbart.com.

According to Allum Bokhari, it would reveal the 'true face' of Ted Cruz and would be "much worse" than the Ben Carson-fraud fiasco currently ongoing. When asked if it would destroy the Cruz campaign, Allum replied he "couldn't say for sure." When asked about the initial delay, he replied that Breitbart is being very careful with the information due to its seriousness, but that the "wait was worth it."

At first I thought maybe Allum and Milo were simply trolling their readership due to the silence for more than 24 hours, but it appears the article really is coming and is indeed quite serious. According to Allum the article was held up in editorial, and now updates his readers with the following:

Allum Bokhari ‏@LibertarianBlue 2h Been told it's a few more days before we can drop the new Cruz goss. Nothing I can do :(

@6ae025af2132401 can't come out for a few days. My hands are tied, and not in the fun way. :(

Allum has been posting 1 or 2 stories a day with no such similar delays, so it appears Breitbart is holding onto the story till after the vote in New Hampshire, probably to avoid accusations of trying to influence the election.

Other than the tweets about it being an "explosive" scandal, Milo and Allum have been entirely mum on the contents of the story, and haven't responded to multiple questions regarding whether Breitbart editors like Ben Shapiro may be trying to suppress it. Nevertheless, there is no indication the story will not be breaking at this point.

Timing is ok with me. Cruz is 3rd or 4th in NH already, why rub it in?

I’m in Texas. I’ve seen the true face of uber-Christian St. Ted Cruz during this campaign.

And NBC is sitting on a BBC Trump expose which does not show him in a very nice light, just in case he gets the ultimate GOPe nod.

Personally, I don’t think anything will dissuade Cruz supporters from Cruz.

Same can be said of Trump supporters. Battle lines are drawn.

However, if Breitbart has information that needs the light of day, then it should get the light of day.

Put it out there.

Well, since Breitbart’s last three bombshells have already ended the Obama presidency, I expect to be overwhelmed this time.

Looks like Cruz haters will get Rino Rubio and he can throw it to Hillary like always. Enjoy that demise of America that is coming.

It either influences New Hampshire or some other primary after that. No point in waiting.

I'm looking for a Cruz quote where Cruz says that he is lily white.

I can't find one.

I doubt Cruz’s public persona is near the truth.
