AMES, Iowa - Rep. Steve King , an Iowa Republican and Ted Cruz supporter, says Donald Trump bought his endorsements. Trump recently received high profile endorsements from Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and Liberty University president Jerry Falwell, Jr.
King reiterated his statement about the endorsements to the Daily Caller on Saturday during a Cruz rally at the Gateway Hotel and stressed that he "knows things."
"He has, from a regular person's perspective, unlimited resources and he's willing to use whatever access he has in order to get the endorsements that he wants," King explained.
"Among those are the assets that we would naturally think of, including the attraction that might be for, oh who knows, a reality TV show, a job in the Trump machine," he said.
King added: "There's fame and fortune, and there's also the fear factor of retribution, which Donald Trump has not been shy about delivering against people. So all of that affects a person's judgment under those circumstances."
The conservative Iowa congressman would not get specific, but would only say, "I know things, but I'm saying what is appropriate, so that people will know enough, and I'm wanting to keep this on as high a plane as I can, but I don't think my conscience can allow me from not saying anything."

King makes a serious charge. If he doesn’t back it up with evidence, he is bearing false witness against Trump endorsees, and false witness is a shameful act.
FYI, I was a dual national so, DO NOT think you know what the heck you are talking about. You have no clue.
Your legal acumen sucks. Stick to the emotional propaganda based on half-truths, that you are good at.
Some people aren’t interested in truth. Sad to see here in FReeper land.
All hail the media-real estate mogul who promises the world...
You want to "massage" the facts and substitute Canadian law for American CITIZENSHIP.
Tout your "dual national" your "natural born" flag all you want but in the end it just won't fly.
But Jesus is for Cruz.
But Jesus is for Cruz.
Would Jesus praise God on twitter trolling for votes? Interesting question.
One can’t find a more conservative guy than King.
He is HATED by the left; one of their top targets.
He is making a serious accusation; he knows the stakes in doing so. They will come after him for this. He wouldn’t be saying this without something to back it up.
Well, I know you’re hijacking the thread away from Trump and his purchase of endorsements but I’ll play one more time.
Just because Canada looked on Cruz as being eligible for Canadian citizenship, it never changed the fact that Ted Cruz was an American citizen at birth.
Poor CW, her candidate sucks so bad all she can do is post bile lace tirades at the other candidates since she has nothing worthwhile she can say for her candidate.
So Trump owes Trump. Got it.
‘so long’ - what has it been 3 days?

Know what?
You’re right.
Time has been crawling on this forum. Seemed a lot longer.
BTW ...
I might favor Trump nationally, but I hope Cruz wins Iowa.
Anyway, I’ll try to abstain from primary posts again — best I can.
FRegards ....
: )
Poor MNJOHNNIE, his candidate sucks so bad all he can do is post bile lace(d) tirades at other posters since he has no defense of his candidate.
Trump made it an issue, because Trump is disingenuous and downright NASTY.

Wonder how many PIs Trump has employed over the years to dig up the dirt on people so he could hold disclosure over their heads to get good business deals? ...Just a thought, not an accusation.
Trump probably got his accountants to figure out how to write off his presidential run as a business expense.
nopardons raising her hypocritical little head again. Perhaps this time youâll choose to answer the questions:

Keeping this. Thanks for the research and posting!
Trump did not declare personal bankruptcy
Business bankruptcy is about a company going south
