I doubt it but you never know. If his Dad did know LHO back in the day, I doubt he would have ever told Felito about it, so Teddy would think it wasn't true, and he therefore wouldn't drop out over it. It wouldn't be something to drop out about anyway. If his dad was working with pro or anti Castro groups in 1963, it would not mean he had any involvement with the assassination plot.
Cruz did go ape about it, and mischaracterized (lied) about what Trump said. Trump said that Senior was involved with LHO and no one was following up on it. He should have stayed away from it, IMO, and he should have said "may have been" based on photos and the fact that he was in New Orleans at the time. So it was not outrageous to ask why the press were not looking into it. Still, with a 15 point lead, I thought it was unnecessary to get into that issue.
Cruz's reaction epitomized why I have come to dislike him intensely. And what he said about Trump showed why he can't be brought back to the campaign. He knew what he was saying went beyond typical mud-slinging. He will be no help in the general election. I will regret what might have been.
I did a quick Google search (certainly not a comprehensive search) and didn’t find where Rafael Cruz himself denied the article.
Why not?
Not saying there’s anything to the story, but you’d think it would be a no brainer to deny out of hand a story of this nature?
A consistent pattern.
to add, in an unsolicited statement a few months ago, Cruz said he would “keep to the issues” with Hillary if he ran against her. What that likely means he would roll over like a dog because the Dems have much dirty stuff on Teddy.
Contrast Cruz’s compromising statement with this article now in Breaking News:
“Trump aide: Clinton hasn’t been ‘truly’ vetted before”

I thought it was a bit strange that Rush would jump to mention the Lee Harvey Oswald picture at the beginning of his show; said it was not the reason Cruz quit.
