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 Cruzs 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 Fridays 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.

What can I say, call me a ‘half full’ type personality that it pains me to admit that the Cruz enablers are half-empty type personalities.
Nah, the Cruz camp just blames Trump for every mess Saint Ted gets himself into.
Yep.
“Ted needs to demand, not ask but *demand* an immediate apology and retraction from the National Enquirer OR: he will instruct his legal team to begin legal proceedings. The longer he hesitates to make that demand, the more damage that is going to be inflicted. Hes got to do it now, preferably in time for the Sunday talk shows today.”
Unfortunately, to do that, Cruz has to be certain that there isn’t a scintilla of TRUTH to the allegations. All the faux indignation, and using the matter to blame his opponent won’t mean crap if ANY of the NE’s story is the truth. The fact that there’s not been the kind of actions you state, gives us all pause.
In what alternate universe do you live? You are truly deluded. I am sure of that since you are a Teddy Bare. Teddy Bares tell lies like water flows under a bridge! Like water, they always seek the lowet level!
Poor deluded Teddy Bares. They love their Glenn Beck and Mitt Romney Mormons. They are the prostitutes that have aligned with the alleged Christian Teddy Bare. Teddy Bare i a slimy sleezy smarmy lying lawyer. Teddy Bares seem to be all right with that type!
Conventional wisdom would have Cruz supporters circling the wagons, Trump supporters wring their hands with delight, and those of us on the forum who back him to be very happy.
I’m not happy. I’ve gone through family grief on issues like this going back to when I was a child. It isn’t something I want to see anyone go through.
To be honest, if Ted is guilty of this, I will even feel bad for him. Even the perpetrator of something like this can suffer tremendous loss during a time like this.
Heidi, the kids, even Ted, it’s a real mess.
What will be will be, but don’t get the idea all Trump supporters are thrilled to see this.
If Ted is exonerated, I will share the Cruz supporters animosity with National Enquirer.
If it is true, Ted’s wild oats will bear fruit in ways he will wish they didn’t.
Humans have a tendency to want to brag, even when engaged in taboo behavior. Secret lovers get off on the riskiness of it all and the secret messages they can send to each other. Why would Carpenter delete her tattoo post if it were innocuous to begin with?

Can we say Felony ,boys and girls.
“And now he accuses, through his surrogates, Cruz of living an immoral life. Trump will yet reap what he has sown. And youre acting rather creepy yourself.”
Seems the only side worried about anyone’s morality are those in Camp Cruz. Glen Beck is a highly visible manifestation of this.
“America doesn’t have time for Count Copulot.”
Count Copulot!
Hillarious!
Trump had sex twists with the third fleet.
A sex twist? That’s a new one..how does one do that?
It’s funny though!
That's correct. Because it wasn't.
All Roger Stone said was that the story had been swirling around for a good while. That's a factual statement. It had been.
So you're full of it. The truth will eventually come out, so don't get too hysterical with your Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS™).
The Rubio campaign was clearly pushing this a couple of weeks ago, and people have been going back and deleting tweets in an attempt to cover that fact up.
But, of course, anything bad that happens to Ted Cruz must be Donald Trump's fault, right?
Pathetic.
The real likelihood is that someone wanted to make it appear as if Trump might have done this. But there's no evidence of that. In fact, there's evidence to the contrary...
Supposedly, shes now deleted the Ted jacket tweet/pic. How silly. The internets forever.
...
If that’s true it also makes her and Ted look guilty.
Guess we’ll see how it pans out. I hope it’s false for the sake of his family, but time will tell.
Truth. I take no joy in another human’s failings. Believe it or not I am praying for Ted and his children’s sake that this is all garbage.
After reading your posts , we have all come to the conclusion that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about ...
