[Twitter Report] Breitbart Sitting on Anti-Cruz Story till After NH Vote
Breitbart Twitter ^ | 02/04/2016 | Twitter

Posted on 02/04/2016 1:03:54 PM PST by Greetings_Puny_Humans

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 ‏@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.

Looks like you’re projecting your own harrassment of me from thread to thread, come to think of it. I’m going to eat some bacon in your honor while you wail and gnash your teeth.

Mentioning steak and bacon is bad, but the creepily disgusting post 224 is ok?

You take offense very selectively.

If you think this tactic sucks, and is indicative of something not quite right about Cruz, please get the word out to anyone you know in NH or to the NH media.

Thanks for posting a clear picture. I don't see anything to get upset about.

People choose not to vote as a form of protest. People regularly vote, even if they don't really support the candidate but believe the other candidate is worse. So what?

What's the controversy?

I didn’t see that one until I read your post, yeah that was gross.

I was selective on that particular line by GHP for a reason, I don’t intend to play hall monitor but I suspected something of GPH but I was mistaken.

Good day.

Don’t you know anything?

Presidential candidates are supposed to be sufficiently proficient in HTML to do their own web pages.

Would you elect a man that didn’t do his own pages?

Nice excuse. Why is he leaving it up? If I had someone putting up a bio page about me saying I was a Mormon, I’d demand they take it down.

Wait, so are you telling me that Jack Johnson (the boxer who died in 1946) did not create his Biography page?

Because around here, it’s take evil Cruz down at ALL costs. Forget honesty. Forget integrity. Forget the truth. The only person I’ve seen Freepers foam at the mouth as much to take down, is Obama.

Allum is the biggest freaking liberal. He hates the right.

And you don’t give a flying flip if it’s true or not do you? As long as it takes down Cruz, it doesn’t matter.
