Donald Trump’s vile response to fake #CruzSexScandal smear piece; Michael Savage responds

A disgusting article at the National Enquirer claims Ted Cruz cheated on his wife, which evidently spawned the hashtag #CruzSexScandal. The allegations, of course, are fake. And this author will eat her car if proven wrong. That is a promise.

On Facebook, Donald Trump responded to the fake story by saying he did not read it, and in his typical statesman-like manner continued:

“Likewise, I have nothing to do with the National Enquirer and unlike Lyin’ Ted Cruz I do not surround myself with political hacks and henchman and then pretend total innocence.”

Not surprisingly, National Enquirer CEO David Pecker is described as a close personal friend of Trump. See this excerpt from NYMag last year:

“Trump and Enquirer CEO David Pecker have been friends for years. ‘They’re very close,’ said a source close to the Enquirer. In July 2013, Trump even tweeted that Pecker should become CEO of Time magazine, which at the time was being spun off from its corporate parent, Time Warner. ‘He’d make it exciting and win awards!'”

Here is the Donald’s tweet from 2013:

.@TIME Magazine should definitely pick David Pecker to run things over there – he’d make it exciting and win awards!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2013

Donald Trump was not finished bashing Ted Cruz, however, implying that the story was true, since the tabloid was “right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards, and many others…”

I have no idea whether or not the cover story about Ted Cruz in this week’s issue of the National Enquirer is true or…

This vile political game appears to be a bridge to far even for Trump supporter Michael Savage, who threatened to withdraw his support from Trump lest he disavows the story and David Pecker.

Listen to Savage discuss his disdain for the tactic at the Right Scoop.

There is your problem: You have a sexual fantasy about Cruz that has you dreaming the spineless jelly fish with a beer belly is muscle bound in your fantasy.

I doubt @realDonaldTrump would throw his spokeswoman @KatrinaPierson under the bus just to defame @TedCruz using the #CruzSexScandal article— Mark Dice (@MarkDice) March 25, 2016

If true it is not disgusting. It is only disgusting if false. Neither side has been proven yet. It passes the "it was picked out of the outhouse test" only because the NE has accurately reported on politicians sleeping around before. That said, it has not passed the "it was pulled out of the garbage and dosed in baking soda test".

The allegations, of course, are fake.

I am curious how the author knows this. My general reaction to stories like this is to wait until there is credible evidence before choosing a side. There is no need to rush into battle and make statements that will be regreted later.

And this author will eat her car if proven wrong. That is a promise.

If you are proven wrong, you will not eat your car. If I am proven wrong I promise to order something other than BBQ Pork Mac and Cheese next I go to Noodles and Co.

“Trump and Enquirer CEO David Pecker have been friends for years. ‘They’re very close,’ said a source close to the Enquirer. In July 2013, Trump even tweeted that Pecker should become CEO of Time magazine, which at the time was being spun off from its corporate parent, Time Warner. ‘He’d make it exciting and win awards!'”

In fairness, I have not read much produced by Time magazine that was worth reading. If it were turned into the National Enquirer, at least it would be entertaining to read the headlines during checkout.

This vile political game appears to be a bridge to far even for Trump supporter Michael Savage, who threatened to withdraw his support from Trump lest he disavows the story and David Pecker.

I love how people are running around threatening to burn bridges when there is no evidence (as far as I am aware) that the article is true or false. Also, since there is apparently evidence that Rubio is behind the story, I fail to see why punishing Trump will do any good.



My own thoughts on this are it is too early to pull out the knives or to rush in now rather than wait some amount of time.

there is a sleaziness to Trump that bothers me and always has (for 30 years now). the goal is to defeat the democRATS in the general election, but the behavior of Trump is ensuring that Cruz supporters won’t rush to vote for Trump in the general if Trump wins. and Trump supporters are so religious in their fervor for Trump, i can’t see any of them voting GOP in the Fall if Trump is not on the ticket, in which case we’ve just ensured Hillary’s election. our country’s first female president (and first lesbian president) who has shown herself to be a congenital liar and to have contempt for the very people who will defend her right to sit in the oval office (i.e. secret service + military). how in the world did the GOP screw this up so badly. first, by being so out of touch with its voters as to make a Trump candidacy possible, and second by being so craven as to seek to split the party in half before a candidate is even nominated? they are truly the stupid party and this country is done. there is no future here if Hillary wins. pack up, sell off everything you can, and find a nice quiet spot somewhere in south america where you can try to ride out the coming storm. Ronald Reagan must be rolling over in his grave.

That's a little naive. Why do you think Washington is in the mess it's in now? Bribery and BLACKMAIL.

As the sitting President, you can't give your opponents real ammunition.

So, it is a LITTLE relevant....

"You can’t deny that Trump is trying to wring every ounce of political advantage out of the Enquirer’s smear."

What has Trump done besides deny that he had anything to do with it?

This whole story screams 1992 and the Clintons. If people had been more discerning then the Hildabeast would not be running today.

Heidi does a great stand by your man. Previously she always turned her head away if he kissed her now it is so fake. Whether there are other women or not this is a fake, power hungry couple ready for the NWO.

Cruz has spoken several times in anger today but I have only seen one comment from Trump. Can you direct me to the ways Trump is wringing
“ every ounce of political advantage”? Thanks in advance.

I totally agree with you on that. Katrina would throw a fit and leave his campaign if she knew Trump threw her under the bus like that.

I love how the Cruzites insist that the PAC that started this with their Melania is a slut ad is completely independent of the Cruz campaign...yet they think the National Enquirer takes it’s marching orders from Donald Trump. Right.


IMO, both Cruz and Trump are innocent till proven otherwise

If this is the GOP’s idea of taking out the 2 top candidates so they can push in a more acceptable one, well then I am staying home. Good luck.

Very well could be how the establishment attempts to make someone not running in the election a palatable alternative.

IT tells me that the Trump campaign probably knew about it. Do you really think that Trump hasn’t employed dirty tricksters in his campaign?
