“Senator Ted Cruz does not actually/technically deny the allegations. Instead Cruz is attacking the story of them: ‘the attacks are garbage’, ‘the smears are false’, etc. In essence, professional lawyer speak.”
“Reminding one of Bill Clinton in the mid-1990s?”
Exactly!! I was screaming at the TV when he said, “I didn’t have sexual relations with that woman — not a SINGLE time.” Which was true. Because it was “multiple”. Lawyer weasel words.
He also has not said any broader denials- such as “I never cheated on my wife.” Now it could just be Ted’s odd personality, but he did not come off right IMO.
