Because the Cruz camp knew this would come out and has been planning the response carefully. That is why his campaign manager purchased the rights for the Melania photo from GQ - so they could run it in ads without concern of copyright. Yes, it has been documented that HE purchased the photo rights, so it is absolutely BS for Cruz to say he knew nothing about it.
By leading in with a glancing blow at Trump’s wife, it is now a realistic and easy sell to point their finger and yell “TRUMP” at the top of their lungs and it takes the unpleasant glares off of Cruz and directs them at the spiteful and vengeful Trump. It is all a ploy and the Cruz-bots can’t see the forest for the trees.
Documented where? The ONLY source I can find for this is from Trump supporters here at Free Republic. The story started here.
Totally agree with your assessment.
Read somewhere today that the actual photographer of the Melania photo may be suing because he has some kind of clause about how his photos are used.
This may be coming out quickly.
Have been looking for days for an indication of the original source for this allegation.
