Rick Sanchez: #CruzSexScandal takes off as senator fails to forcefully deny allegations (FoxLatino)
foxnews.com/latino ^ | Rick Sanchez

Posted on 03/28/2016 9:27:05 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Let me begin with this. If the National Enquirer wrote a story about me cheating on my wife with five women, I had better be extremely definitive in my response; because if I’m not, my wife –smelling the guilt – would kick my ass. OK, let me also tell you that I wouldn’t be angry; in fact, I’d be ecstatic. It’s fun to count money from guaranteed punitive and compensatory damages in a multimillion dollar lawsuit.

But that’s me. I can’t speak for Senator Ted Cruz except to say that so far his reaction seems —well, not exactly definitive. He calls it “garbage and false,” not exactly a denial. Then he plays the victim, calling it an attack on his family; “offensive to Heidi and me, they’re offensive to our daughters,” he writes.

Actually, it’s not an offense aimed at your wife or your daughters; it’s aimed at you, Senator. Then, there’s the attack on Donald Trump.

Did you notice that Drudge is taking the same approach that Trump is? Low key. Let Ted self-destruct.

Checkers Milhous used to use that phrase all the time or some version of it. “Let me be perfectly clear.” Always when muddying up the waters. Milhous Cruz. Has a nice ring to it.

The National Enquirer did not write a story alleging five affairs. Or one.

I guess “utter lies” doesn’t satisfy you.

I’m a guessing that I’m the type of person that wouldn’t post articles from foaming at the mouth liberals to make a point.

What’s your point libtard?

Cruz will not sue National Enquirer for the same reason countless celebrities who get smeared do not — it’s the National Enquirer. Why waste time with a publication no one takes seriously?

No it is not. National Enquirer stories can be called garbage and still be true. Cruz could have 3, 4 or 6 women and the story would be false. Cruz is a lawyer, he knows how to definitively deny allegations and he is not doing it.

Trump handled it perfectly. Drudge on the other hand isn’t running for anything which is why I find it puzzling.

Headline Drudge has right now: FORMER LOVER: BILL SNORTED COKE OFF MY COFFEE TABLE!

‘He calls it “garbage and false”’

LOL, sounds like a pretty clear denial to anyone with a
brain.
==

Let’s see, we know he’s lying about Trump being fault, it came from Rubio, so why not assume his denial is also a lie.

Liars lie, it’s what they do.

There's a measured response of the Cruztard for you.

No, Drudge is ignoring it.....Trump is letting his minions do his dirty work and one only has to view what’s being posted on this forum to see what a bangup job they’re doing.

Agree. Very strong denial. Also, it would be difficult for Cruz to sue because libel claims are extremely narrow for sitting Senators. The NE article is carefully couched to say “there are reports that” with out facts to back it up. Sanchez’ feelings are posted as fact. Weak.

“Let me be clear, this National Enquirer story is garbage. It is complete and utter lies. It is a tabloid smear, and it is a smear that has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen.” -Ted Cruz

You see what they are doing. They say Cruz did it because he didn't deny it.

Never mind that he denied it and that there's no evidence that he did it.

They build lies based on lies.

More clearly, the decision goes something like this: "It can’t look like we’re covering a story about a politician who’s allegedly been serially cheating on his wife, so let’s change the narrative to a story about a politician who accuses another politician of making up a story about him cheating on his wife." Problem solved? No!

Two issues here. One, the story is not stagnant. It’s organic – evolving and changing – and journalists look stupid when they’re forced to ignore developments that millions of people on social media outlets have been discussing for hours. The essence of the story is ignored, as are all developments and subsequent conversations among millions of people. It’s what happens when you put coverage of the reaction, before the action.

Exactly. The MSM wants to cover the cat fight, but not look into the background.

Actually “garbage” has nothing to do with truth or falseness. How about a simple “I did not have sex with those women, and I have not been unfaithful to my wife”.

Preferably with a hand on the Bible.

Lyin’ Ted.
