Ted Cruz ‘Affair’ Rumors Peddled by Marco Rubio’s Allies
Daily Beast ^ | 03/25/2016 | Besty Woodruff

Posted on 03/25/2016 2:04:29 PM PDT by SteveSCH

The truth behind the rumor-mongering, however, is a little more complex. A half-dozen GOP operatives and media figures tell The Daily Beast that Cruz’s opponents have been pushing charges of adultery for at least six months now—and that allies of former GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio were involved in spreading the smears.

For months and months, anti-Cruz operatives have pitched a variety of #CruzSexScandal stories to a host of prominent national publications, according to Republican operatives and media figures. The New York Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg News, Politico, and ABC News—reporters at all those outlets heard some version of the Cruz-is-cheating story. None of them decided to run with rumors. Those publications’ representatives all declined to provide on-the-record comments when The Daily Beast reached out for this article.

Breitbart News, the notoriously Trump-friendly conservative outlet, was also pitched the story of Cruz’s extramarital affairs, according to a source close to the publication. That source said an operative allied with Marco Rubio—but not associated with his official campaign—showed the publication a compilation video of Cruz and a woman other than his wife coming out of the Capitol Grille restaurant and a hotel on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But the outlet opted not to report on the video, which demonstrated no direct evidence of an affair.

This comes from the GOPe, just like the Liz Mair hit on Melania Trump.

Don't get played. This has been around for a while now and Rick Wilson that GOPe hack is having a big fat laugh about it right now.

Correct. Blame the Rubio’s people, not Donald Trump.

I buy that because it makes unification between Trump and Cruz nearly impossible and gives them the ability to throw Cruz under the bus regarding the brokered convention.

Pete Bush for President?

But I was assured by Ted Cruz that it was all because of Donald Trump and that Ted Cruz WOULD NOT have sex with a rat, even if the rat were Trump.

Also, Trump Trump Trump.

However, Cruz blames Trump rather than his new “friends”.

Be careful. That doesn’t fit in with the Cruz orbit of “Trump Did It!”

I heard Cruz got a splinter on his finger = “Trump’s Fault”
Cruz had indigestion one evening = “Trump’s Fault”
Cruz had a flat tire = “Trump’s Fault”
Heidi wasn’t in the mood = “Trump’s Fault”

Cruz’s campaign slogan should be changed to “Trump’s Fault!”

I heard Trump is now being blamed for Climate Change in the Cruz Camp.

And the national debt = “Trump’s Fault”
And Heidi’s Depression = “Trump’s Fault”
Bean spill on aisle 6 = “Trump’s Fault!”

Trump blamed Cruz for the Melania ad.
Cruz will blame Trump for this.

Politics. The truth is this is GOPe, just like the Melania hit.

This whole story is gaining ground fast and wonder how the Mormons now feel.

I did a search for cruz affair and it seems more and more of the media are now asking questions about this and why 500 grand was given to the Fiorina campaign when she has one of these women working for her.

No matter how one looks at this or who they support this does not look good for cruz at all and in the past allegations from the NE has been true.

If this works I think it will finalize the religious apartheid of America

Conservative Christian evangelicals are not allowed to run for the presidency

Trump who is not a conservative Christian can be the nominee and his sexual history is exempted by his blue privilege New York values.

This society keeps trashing us but I won’t give up.

That is what good Friday is about.

Keep crucifying us. It hasn’t worked for 2000 years.
