I see what it was. He is bashing those who think he was paid to support Cruz. Blaming the allegations on Trump and Roger Stone.

A few minutes ago, Levin said Trump needs to call of his sleazeballs like Roger Stone ...

I've never heard Levin said a bad word about Cruz' campaign manager ...

MEET TED CRUZ' CAMPAIGN MANAGER...

"Ted Cruz attacking Donald Trump for his “New York values” isn’t all that surprising, nor was it a spur of the moment retort.

The top two contenders for the Republican presidential nomination are competing aggressively for evangelicals and other socially conservative voters who are influential in the crucial Iowa caucuses. Cruz’s implicit charge is that the thrice-married, four-times bankrupted Trump lives his life just like all the other Manhattan liberals, and an obvious play to depress the reality television star’s support among heartland conservatives.

The swipe was straight out of the playbook of the Texas senator’s bulldog campaign manager, Missourian Jeff Roe*. That means — along with most moves Cruz makes — that it was probably deliberately calibrated and carefully planned. In 2008, Roe produced a television spot for a client, Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo., that painted his Democratic challenger Kay Barnes as a social and fiscal liberal who was “pushing their San Francisco values.”"

* KC political consultant Jeff Roe rides out backlash to Tom Schweich suicide

> It’s been more than a month since Roe, a well-known and often-feared campaign consultant, helped produce a mocking radio commercial in the Missouri governor’s race. The ad, aired in Kansas City and other markets, suggested state auditor and GOP candidate Tom Schweich was a “bug” and compared him with bumbling TV character Barney Fife.

Days after the spot aired, Schweich took his own life.

Some of Schweich’s friends quickly concluded the ad played a role in the suicide and accused Roe of bullying the candidate. Former U.S. Sen. Jack Danforth** urged Republicans to walk away from Roe, a request he repeated last week.

“We should disassociate ourselves from anyone who conducts this sort of campaign,” he said in an email.

**CLAYTON, Mo. - Former U.S. Sen. Jack Danforth on Tuesday remembered Tom Schweich as a sensitive friend and extraordinary public servant — driven to suicide, he said, by political bullies and an anti-Semitic whisper campaign.

“Words do hurt. Words can kill,” Danforth said at a memorial service attended by many of the state’s leading political figures. “That has been proven right here in our home state.”

Schweich, 54, was recently re-elected as Missouri auditor and had been a Republican candidate for governor in 2016. He died Thursday and was laid to rest Tuesday.

He was known to be upset at recent campaign tactics used by his opponents.
