Two days ago Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos and Allum Bokhari (the latter's twitter page linked up above) began teasing an "Explosive" Cruz scandal that was supposed to post imminently on Breitbart.com.
According to Allum Bokhari, it would reveal the 'true face' of Ted Cruz and would be "much worse" than the Ben Carson-fraud fiasco currently ongoing. When asked if it would destroy the Cruz campaign, Allum replied he "couldn't say for sure." When asked about the initial delay, he replied that Breitbart is being very careful with the information due to its seriousness, but that the "wait was worth it."
At first I thought maybe Allum and Milo were simply trolling their readership due to the silence for more than 24 hours, but it appears the article really is coming and is indeed quite serious. According to Allum the article was held up in editorial, and now updates his readers with the following:
Allum Bokhari â€@LibertarianBlue 2h Been told it's a few more days before we can drop the new Cruz goss. Nothing I can do :(
@6ae025af2132401 can't come out for a few days. My hands are tied, and not in the fun way. :(
Allum has been posting 1 or 2 stories a day with no such similar delays, so it appears Breitbart is holding onto the story till after the vote in New Hampshire, probably to avoid accusations of trying to influence the election.
Other than the tweets about it being an "explosive" scandal, Milo and Allum have been entirely mum on the contents of the story, and haven't responded to multiple questions regarding whether Breitbart editors like Ben Shapiro may be trying to suppress it. Nevertheless, there is no indication the story will not be breaking at this point.
So Breitbart is holding this until it can have maximum impact on South Carolina.
How Candy Crowley of them.
We get these every election season.
Someone claims to have the blockbuster news item that will take a certain candidate down.
90% seem to turn out to be more hot air than substance.
If this ‘rumor’ is such a hot item, why hold off?
Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn.
Kidding aside, I bet AB is twirling in his grave knowing that his organization is preparing a hit piece on the most conservative candidate in the primary.
Okay, you sound like a sandwich is all you can handle.
Is that the twit? Jeez, from his picture that could be one of Rubio’s prostitutes...and here I thought that the prostitutes would be female.
Breitbart is supposedly partly owned by a major Cruz donor, FWIW.
Andrew is already rolling in his grave. The people he left behind to care for his site have burned it to the ground.
I hope its not the Monkey story.
Andrew would not be rolling in his grave. He wasn’t here in 2015-16. This is a different situation. He wanted people to rise up and be bold against the oligarchy. The person who gets it started doesn’t have to be perfect.
I that’s the case it will only be brought up again after the article proves to be a giant nothing burger... ;)
It sure looks like it, but until the primaries in the south we won't know. I'm sticking with Cruz. Everyone has the long knifes out for him, which tells me he's the guy for me. I'm sick and tired of the of the northeast liberals "playing at" being conservatives, or the TEA party back pols who turned their backs on the Tea Party after they were elected.
Bretibart has become almost unusable with all the garbage adware they throw at warp speed at you, plus al that cookie intrusion. Many even get through adblockers some how.
This may be the stupidest post ever, even for you.
“Mark Levin will be screaming but it won’t matter.”
LOL
I tried to get on the website and after 45 seconds I gave up. All I saw were ads.
“So people that express their Christianity in public as somehow terrible people. Good for you.”
He’d rather have someone that didn’t have any faith at all.
Of course, he’s fine with Trump faking like he really reads the bible.
“”So when are they going to release the Rubio gay prostitutes story?””
When are they going to buckle down and get to the nitty-gritty of Hillary’s background? If they’d get busy with that, they wouldn’t have time to delve into any GOP candidates dirty linen!
Allum at Breitbart also Tweeted a reference to a duckroll (like a Rickroll I guess), so he may be playing everyone.
