Donald Trump is obsessed with race-baiting conspiracy theories
MSDNC ^ | May 3, 2016 | Benjy Sarlin

As Donald Trump reminded the world Tuesday morning, the Republican Party is on the verge of nominating a conspiracy theorist who regularly uses debunked Internet and tabloid rumors to smear his enemies.

In the latest case, Trump seized on a ludicrously thin-sourced National Enquirer story to insinuate Sen. Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, was involved in the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald’s being, you know, shot,” Trump told Fox News over the phone. “I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don’t even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it.”

It is the truth. Cruz SR was with Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans.

Seems to me that Trump was raising questions about Cruz’ connection to Oswald’s assassination, not JFK’s

No, he was linking him to JFK, as the Enquirer story claimed.

Still it was a blunder by Trump. I don’t see how those comments help him in any way.

And they'll try and use it against him in the fall.

Oh you mean like the American way of life that southern democrats imposed on citizens? The lynchings, failure to hire, the bearings, refusal of service

Do you mean THAT American way of life? It was as wrong then as it is now

I see lots of sites covering this issue, none of which are The National Enquirer. This is the site that initially started writing on this subject, The Daily Dot. According to the theverge.com website

The lives of black Americans are as an American way of life as are yours or mine.

keeping the narrative choice firmly away from Cruz. Thanks to Rush and others it worked. I assume Ted's anger today was more fueled by losing another duel than Trump attacking his Father.

That's Cruooz.

So Trump was asked a direct question about it so he answers.

Like the way the Communists use the blacks to agitate and cause disruption to the American way of life.

Like "The Mexican American Youth Organization was founded in San Antonio, Texas in 1967. It employed the tactics of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and later spurred the creation of the La Raza Unida Party."

Both organizations have been hi-jacked by communist radicals to exploit the Mexican youth....Radicals of anything have no place in America....throw the bums out, they mean all of us harm.

insinuate Sen. Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, was involved in the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Fat lie. This impeaches and discredits this entire article.

The media can’t seem to restrain themselves in the face of any opportunity to bash Trump, however petty and ludicrous.

From what I’ve seen and read on this topic, Trump was linking Cruz’s dad to Oswald in new Orleans and with the Fair Play for Cuba Organization...

I have seen nothing to suggest that he was linking Cruz’s dad to the JFK assassination...Only to Oswald and handing out flyers....
