The Ted Cruz sex scandal story just took another twist, with Cruz blaming Donald Trump for allegedly planting the story that ran last week and serious doubts arising over whether any of it is actually true.
The National Enquirer story accused Cruz of cheating on his wife, Heidi, with as many as five mistresses. The women were not named in the story but were quickly identified through their blurred out pictures and details of the alleged affairs.
Cruz immediately denounced the story as untrue as have some of the women identified as his mistresses and now Cruz is going on the offensive against Donald Trump. Cruz has accused Trump of planting the story, noting that the only named source in the story is a former aide to Donald Trump
CNN recounted Cruzs accusations.
Cruz suggested that Roger Stone, a former aide to Trump, and David Pecker, CEO of the National Enquirers parent company, had been in cahoots, pushing an item he has repeatedly denied and denounced as garbage.'
The story, on its face, quoted one person on the record: Roger Stone, Cruz said during a CNN town hall event in Wisconsin. Roger Stone has been Donald Trumps chief political adviser. He planned and ran his presidential campaign and hes been his hatchet man hes spent 40 years as a hatchet man. But not only that, the head of the National Enquirer, a guy named David Pecker, is good friends with Donald Trump.'
There are serious doubts being raised about the Ted Cruz sex scandal story, with several media outlets poking holes in the Enquirers story...

What intellectually honest person ever believed any of this filth in the first place
LOL! You’re funny.
Agree to some extent. But you missed the point.
Don’t blame Donald Trump. Cruz’s alleged affair and the rumors surrounding it began prior to Trump entered the race for POTUS.
Trump deserves ZERO blow back for Ted’s campaign office/DC gossip. And women do talk to one another, especially to hairdressers.
When Ted was informed that NE’s hit piece had finally materialized, he responded by having his allies distribute Melania’s photo.
He got out in front of his own upcoming scandal and blamed his problem on Trump as retaliation. It’s all very calculating. No coincidences in politics.
No. An anti-Trump PAC released that ad, and I'm not convinced they even liked Cruz, just that they wanted to make sure Trump lost in Utah and Cruz was at least a convenient alternative. It sounds to me more like a Rubio trick, the same team that spread the Cruz rumors. Candidates and their PACs are not legally permitted to coordinate, and I have never seen a campaign coordinate even informally with a PAC. I've been in many campaigns, and I would have seen it if it was common.
Note: At no point did I blame Trump for the rumors. All of my Trump comments were on the major issues, where I agree with him and said that Trump is (with Cruz) among the best in many years.
Cruz is a PROVEN-liar, SERIAL-sociopath.
He should pull out. Of what it is not clear, but
that includes as a candidate of Global interests and Soros.
Wow. I guess there is no point presenting evidence to you, since your mind is made up. However:

Politics 101. You guys are as naive as three-year-olds.
When an article accuses one of 5 affairs when maybe only 3 are really true, one can righteously exclaim that the article is "garbage and false" without denying that affairs took place.
Is that what is happening is happening here? I have no opinion. But I do know Clinton-like parsing when I see it.

The thief, caught red handed, is trying to blame someone else.
Fabulous

“I cheated on my wife with eight mistresses. Everything would be swell if I could bury the facts along side 0bamas sealed past records”
“Twitter is a medium where you cant hide who you are” Amanda Carpenter
“How do you lose your train of thought on a yes or no question?”
You hire a “deflector” and hope no one notices.
Funny how the Trump Cult conveniently dismisses that.
well, if theres nothing to it, it seems a bit strange that the NE doubled-down on the week of 3/28 issue and ran more tease stories about Cruz
*************************************
They sold a lot of their trashy tabloid with the first issue of the story, so they are just milking the story for a few more $$$.
... thats their business and doesnt belong being used as cannon fodder. ...

Amanda B Kinnan
Senior Communications Advisor and Speechwriter, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
Amanda B Kinnan, a current staffer, earned a salary of $114,250 as a Senior Communications Advisor and Speechwriter through the most recent Senate pay period. This was 2.3 times greater than the median for a Senate press secretary.
It’s no wonder the comments were left on The Hill’s article. Her departure must have raised some eyebrows in the DC circles.
June 9, 2015:
3. Carped money from Better Dead Than Ted;
4. Carped money from Con Bosses or 501c3/4; and/or,
5. Affair with Better-Dead-Than-Ted - and Missus-Better-Dead-Than-Ted found out.
Place your bets.
June 9th : Donald Trump had not even entered the race, yet.
I wish someone would get this to the Trump campaign.
[[u just might care to look up the study guides that the government hands out to LEGAL immigrants studying to take the Naturalization Citizenship test; it is on line.]]
I have looked it up- Cruz does not fall under any of those requirements- you are just flat out wrong about your claim that he isn’t an NBC- I know that doesn’t sit well with you but you can look up the 1401 and 1409 law used to determine NBC citizenship yourself- the courts do NOT support your claim
[[You argument appears to be with Ted Cruz and our Government; not with me.]]
No it isn’t- He was wrong at that time- He is not wrong now- His OPINION at that time has nothing to do with actual fact and court law o n this issue- Strict originality, like Ted used to be are simply wrong about NBC
[[not with me.]]
No it’s with you- You made a statement that isn’t factual
[[His stupid quoting from old movies is silly...the way he uses it!]]
And unsupported rumor mongering is stupid- so what’s your point? gossips are as stupid as Ted?
[[It’s NOTHING at all special, though.]]
Lol- you just can’t brign yourself to give him an ounce of credit can you? Of course it’s special- it gives him an ability you and i dont’ have and an advantage we don’t have- Are you so petty you can’t even give him credit for that? Seriously?
