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

Posted on 05/03/2016 12:30:15 PM PDT by McGruff

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.”

The video.

‘Donald Trump Full Interview on Fox & Friends | Fox News (5/3/2016)’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYo5m8R0wcU

Fox And Friends who brought up the Oswald issue photo question around 5:35 in the video.

Cruz said, it was Trump who initiated the question about the Oswald and daddy Cruz photo since the media was ignoring it. That’s a lie by Ted Cruz.

I never said they weren’t Americans. I said the Communists use them to agitate and disrupt. To foster revolution.

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

They don't call him Lying Ted for nothing

Just Yesterday, He told what Rush called a Brain dead Trump supporter , THAT the NEW YORK TIMES CLAIMED THAT TRUMP ADMITTED HE WASN"T BUILDING A WALL.

Any Cruz Bot can you show me the NYT LINK?

This was planned calculation by Cruz to have BS outrage. He was waiting for Trump to mention the Lee Oswald Dad Cruz photo.

The interview in the video shows it was Fox Friends who first brought up the issue.

Those are your fellow Americans, FRiend.

But if for some reason you can’t visualize yourself dancing on the top of a burning police car, you can take comfort perhaps in the knowledge that what you portray is far from a typical day in the lives of black Americans.

When is it EVER a part of the life of ANY other American?

Maybe if black Americans would just call themselves Americans, they wouldn't have to dance on the top of police cars.

FRiend.

You nailed it. Cruz always rises to the bait. In the space of 24 hours,
Harvard Debater and Lawyer Cruz is on a curb debating some guy with a Trump sign. Next day he’s denying that his father was involved in the JFK assassination, and his wife is denying he’s the Zodiac Killer. If Cruz was a fish, he’d bite on a bare hook.

This was in response to Rafael saying Trump will cause the destruction of America.

Donald is a counter puncher with brass knuckles.
