Ted Cruz denies affairs, denounces ‘garbage’ report; Trump says his campaign wasn’t involved
The Dallas Morning News ^ | 3/25/16 | Tod Gillman

Posted on 03/26/2016 8:47:16 PM PDT by DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis

WASHINGTON — A Donald Trump supporter aired unsubstantiated rumors of Ted Cruz infidelity on CNN on Friday. Within an hour, Cruz accused Trump of using “henchmen” to peddle tabloid “garbage” and “complete and utter lies.”

By mid-afternoon, Trump took to social media to deny his involvement in the story.

Mainstream news outlets had steered clear of the rumors and a report in the tabloid National Enquirer before the Trump supporter — appearing live with Amanda Carpenter, a CNN commentator who had worked as Cruz’s communications director — demanded Carpenter address the allegation that she had an affair with the senator.

“It is categorically false. You should be ashamed for spreading this kind of smut,” Carpenter shot back, visibly angry, denouncing the “tabloid trash.”

Twitter and other social media have erupted since the Enquirer posted its story Thursday afternoon, with the hashtag #Cruzsexscandal trending. Cruz detractors mounted an impromptu crowdsourcing effort online to identify the five women whose photos the Enquirer published with black bars across their eyes.

Cruz was campaigning in Wisconsin as Friday’s CNN segment was airing onstage live at a town hall in Oshkosh. The Enquirer report did not come up in the Q&A. The senator addressed it with reporters afterward.

Cruz also posted a denial on his Facebook page.

Mensius, I'm going to pull this tweet out in the open.

bryan crabtree ‏@bryancrabtree 3h3 hours ago
A source 'deep inside' the @tedcruz campaign says Cruz, may in fact have had affairs. Some say Heidi Cruz pushes for all-male campaign staff

I think it is noteworthy. This guy is a radio host in Atlanta. Two hour show.

This isn't an ordinary citizen speculating. He's now on record as having a source.

To me, this looks like Cruz campaign may have decided to go with the "slow confession." Letting bits of admission slip out slowly, so as to inoculate their supporters and survive the storm.

We shall see.

Oh, you mean the one that doesn’t exist, but you can say something like that so people will think it might? The depths you will sink to is astonishing.

Did you see my #138? It's the link to the topless photo in question. Well, I don't do links, but you can copy/paste.

Just wondering, because I'm waiting for your apology.

This was at the same time his mistress was tweeting out a picture of the same tattoo on the back side of her shoulder.

This was not their finest hour.

Let’s see. Trumps bribe in FL with an illegal donation currently isn’t being talked about, because David Pecker, Trump’s friend released the story.

Heidi Cruz attack isn’t being talked about as much.

Hm! But Trump the liberal friend of the Clinton’s couldn’t possibly be behind it.

Nope.

Riiiiight.

Anyone supporting Trump right now, is full of it.

If Ted was not always pushing his pious Christianity, this story would go no where.

Well that’s an interesting find.
These are Amanda’s writings last year on Twitter from 5:29 November 9, 2014:

I wonder if the National Enquirer’s statement will play into the big picture - odd for them to double down if they really had nothing.

You might ponder the following:

Cruz: "I don't support people who attack my family"

To: Cincinatus' Wife

"What a scummy jerk. Cruz can go copulate himself."

And then there is this:

"Don’t look now, but Trump is the only anti-establishment candidate left running. The GOPe is now backing Cruz to the hilt and he’s doing their bidding. Fiorino has come out for the GOPe big time, and is throwing all her schoolmarm charm Cruz’s way. Rubio’s a fricking amnesty traitor and Kasich is all in big government GOPe.

Thankfully, Carson has seen the light and so has Sessions and they’re backing Trump.

Cruz has let his ambition get the better of him and has lost it. He’s been thoroughly indoctrinated, corrupted and absorbed by those we’re fighting against. He’s now fighting with the GOP and the establishment political class against We The People.

And unfortunately, some of our very own have been unwittingly sucked into the GOPe vortex."

We've already seen some of the most egregious Trump-hating trolls ride the lightning over the past few days, as any Constitutional expert lawyer might say:

"Govern Yourself Accordingly"

Amanda Carpenter has now DELETED ALL of her tweets prior to March 1 of this year.

A couple days ago, she had tweets on her Twitter page going back to at least 2014, and I personally saw the tattoo tweets on April 1, 2014.

This is, I’m quite sure, exactly what Trump was threatening Cruz with.

That was not what Trump was threatening and you know it. Here is the quote:

"Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!"
Trump said nothing about a bimbo eruption.

"The beans" about Heidi is more than likely her psychiatric evaluation indicating her fragile emotional state from having to live what the Bull Goose Loony Ted Cruz!

Or, it could be the truth about how fully entrenched Heidi Cruz is in the Global New World Order cartel.

Or it could be the spousal abuse issues brought to light by her Austin Police Department report:

A passerby had called to report that a woman in a pink shirt was sitting on the ground near the MoPac Expressway with her head in her hands, and no sign of a vehicle nearby. When the officer arrived, he found the woman on a swath of grass between an onramp and the freeway. She said her name was Heidi Cruz.

The heavily redacted report goes on to describe that Davidson believed Cruz was a “danger to herself,” and notes that she was sitting 10 feet away from traffic. He asked if he could transport her somewhere — the proposed location is redacted — but she was “reluctant, stating that maybe she should … get a ride home” instead. Eventually, Cruz followed him to his patrol car, and they departed the scene.

Nothing about bimbos there unless you read between the lines regarding her sorrowful mariage.
