Is this not accurate? I did not know there was any question about whether or not there was an ad. I thought the only question was whether or not Trumps hit back at Cruz was justified or not.
The two~fer: Cruz’s sex scandal allegations have been whispered since February. They became publicly discussed and broadcast as early as March 15. Although Ted had a cushy predicted win in Utah, they knew the tabloids were working the scandal story for a quick release.
Someone assisting team~Cruz launched a preemptive strike. They decided that the eve of the election would be the ripe time for hitting Trump’s wife. They uploaded a racy model GQ photo shoot pic of her from 16 years ago. Then they added their campaign message and sent it to their likely voters.
While it was designed to soften the blow for Ted’s alleged sex scandal stories, he likely did receive thousands of additional Mormon voters. IMO, I’d call this operation a ‘two-fer’ for team~Cruz.
