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 Cruz’s accusations.
“Cruz suggested that Roger Stone, a former aide to Trump, and David Pecker, CEO of the National Enquirer’s 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 Trump’s chief political adviser. He planned and ran his presidential campaign and he’s been his hatchet man — he’s 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 Enquirer’s story...

Ken, I’ve heard that Cruz did the two women in your #59.
Except that the story told by the political operative is that the Cruz camp planted the story as an “anchor.”
An anchor sets the bar so the brain judges everything else from that bar. Example, buying a car. You have $45,000 to spend, and you ask the salesman, “How much is that car?” Salesman says, “$65,000.” That’s the anchor. You cringe. The salesman says, “If I can get it down to $50,000, will you drive it home today?” Now you think you just saved $15,000, so you’re excited, and you buy the car.
The National Enquirer story proposed 5 women, sex in closets, hookers, etc. That’s the anchor.
Now if we find out it was “just one affair, and it happened 6 years ago, and Heidi knows about it, and they have made peace with it....” Then it doesn’t seem so bad to us, and we forgive and move on. After all, poor innocent Heidi has been the poor victim throughout the whole Melania / Heidi tweet war. So hasn’t poor innocent Heidi been hurt enough (by TRUMP) already? So if Heidi has forgiven Ted, can’t WE forgive Ted, so that Heidi can be spared the pain all over again?
You know.... You may be onto something here.
Rubio already moved to retain all of his delegates. That’s his bargaining chip for VP.
So what’s your point? Ronald Reagan was married twice.
On Kimmel tonight, he said if he saw Trump in his rear view mirror he did not know which direction he would go in.
Yup. That’s a very weird statement to pop out of his mouth. Not quite up there with copulating with rats, but close.
Don’t bother trying to explain the facts to Angels27. It’s a waste of time.
Cruz employs that extremely creepy DIRTY TRICKSTER Jeff Roe, who is a past master at this kind of crap, and therefore is probably coaching Teddy in what to say and how to make it appear that this is all Trump's fault, when EVERYONE who has been paying even a small amount of attention, knows that that team Rubio has been shopping this "mistress" thing for months!
If Stone or any part of the real Trump team was going to throw this stuff out there, they would have done it very much sooner. Cruz is the one pulling dirty tricks, NOT Trump!
Trump isn’t running as a holy-roller. Cruz is.
Cruz is the SLEAZE factory; Trump hasn't pulled any "dirty tricks", but team Cruz has many times over!
You know what is So incredibly SLIMY about this is that this BASTARD Cruz has known all along this story was planted by his OWN camp then turned around and BLAMED the story ON TRUMP!!!!! what total scum this Cruz is!!!!
The next story that is coming out, are you ready for it, is that Jeff Roe is the one who planted the story. Apparently Cruz did have an affair, and Roe’s plan was to make it so unbelievable with the story of 5 woman that when a single affair is revealed, it will seem like nothing. Just sharing what I’ve come across.
Time will tell. It might be wise to stop saying Trump did it when there is no supporting evidence.
You're a busy bee tonight. How many threads did you manage to infect with your pustulent effluvia ?
The media is quick to point out how naive Trump is when it comes to the delegate ground-game. Yet they truly believe that Trump is pulling political dirty tricks? So which is it, media? Trump is politically naive, or he's politically genius and underhanded?
[[Ted needs to say nothing more then he already has. It’s just nonsense to keep making this an issue.]]
Precisely, because it won’t matter one iota if jumps through hte hoops of htose hwo hate him or not- they will simply demand he jump through another, then another, then aniother- all the whiel battign their eyelashes and declaring “All you have to do is say this precise sentence, and all will be forgiven’
He’s been around long enough to know this idiotic game of ‘do as we say, and we’ll believe you’ is nothing but a line of BS a mile long- He’s already stated the NE story is untrue- and those who don’t accept it can go pound sand-
Cruz camp planted this story THEN BLAMED Trump, you think this is NOT slime ???? Cruz is pond scum!!!!
Oh, so if it’s YOUR guy, you don;t give a damn if he is a serial adulterer, who drove his wife to have nervous breakdowns, but you’ll happily slam and LIE about other candidates’ peccadillos? How very DEM/LEFTY of you.
Bob: I understand you like Cruz. I forgive you for that.
But let me ask you this:
If you thought your wife was cheating on you, and you asked her about it, would it be acceptable to you for her to say:
“Your premise is garbage. It’s nothing but an attempt to slander me. Who told you that story? I knew it, I never liked that person anyway. And another thing, you look fat in those jeans.”
Would that convince you that your wife wasn’t sleeping around?
Please answer honestly.
