Married man Ted Cruz denounced a supermarket tabloid tale alleging his affairs with serial mistresses, blaming nemesis Donald Trump for planting the bogus report.
The Texas senator came out swinging Friday at both The Donald and the National Enquirer over a two-page spread that identified his quintet of lovers as "a hooker, a teacher & coworkers."
The prostitute was billed in the story as a "$1,000-a-night Washington call girl."
"I want to be crystal clear: these attacks are garbage, Cruz ranted on his Facebook page. For Donald J. Trump to enlist his friends at the National Enquirer and his political henchmen to do his bidding shows you that there is no low (where) Donald wont go."
At a campaign event, the son of a Texas preacher called the story charing him with multiple affairs as "complete and utter lies ... a tabloid smear."

It’s like Ted has gotten baited so bad that he would blame a pair of ripped underwear on Donald.
Ease up. The actual story is basically “Oh, look, there’s a rumor out there.”
Ted has real issues, we shouldn’t be drumming on something like this until we get more data.
LOL...I knew that #LyingCruz was too quiet...cooking up his “blame Trump” meme.
as predicTED.
This guy is forever untrusTED.
Those who thump the bible the hardest are often found to have the most serious failings.
Wait till we find out one of them was a tranny. LOL.
No, Cruz cannot sue the Enquirer because the Enquirer merely reported the existence of an allegation or rumor - it did not report the story itself. Cruz is a public figure and such speculation is not actionable.
Trump gets a two-fer with his planting of this flaming bag of doo-doo by using it also as "proof" that libel laws need to be changed.
However, if Cruz can prove Trump to be the source of a false and intentionally harmful action, Cruz can try to sue Trump for slander.
My direction question to Jim Robinson's post#2 remains. Who does Jim Robinson think Cruz should sue?
Were any of Cruz’s bimbos Canadian?
Trump reply was brilliant.
If innocent, he needs to sue.
If guilty, he cannot sue and deny the story under oath in discovery , if there is any chance that proof could emerge.
Whether he sues will be telling.
Trump hasn’t held himself up as a strong Christian conservative and moral paragon. Cruz has, and has been parroted by many surrogates.
For all his faults, Trump is fairly honest about what kind of person he is. If the allegations are true, Cruz has not.
That is most certainly not a denial. It is an attack on NE.
Has Ted said, I have never had an affair with any of these women?
After they spent so much time smearing Trump Cruz is getting a taste of his own medicine. I’m not sure I like it but if the GOP is going to burn let it burn equally. What the GOP has attempted to do to Trump has been shameful and Cruz getting on the BLM and MOVEon bandwagon was just ugly. I see no honest men running.
Yet you are the one squealing.
But embracing the Bush clan is just as bad. The Bushes and Clintons are partners in crime. Wise up!
You got it.
I had a long winded way of saying the same thing
No, I don’t think Mr. Cruz has lusTED.
I think it’s time for the Holy Trinity of Cruz, Beck and Romney to repent. lol
Funny how none of the women named are threatening to sue.
That is correct, at least as far as the person libeled goes. That person can also sue the bimbos, but they don't have as much money or as big a megaphone.
Newspapers field all manner of claim coming from crackpots and cranks. It's up to the press to choose what it will publish.
Very telling pictures.
Beginning to look more and more like Kasich is the chosen one by GOPe. Nice game in getting the front runners to blast each other while Kasich can sit back and say “Not me”.
