Here is Trump's exact quote:
"Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!"
Ted Cruz had nothing to do with the picture. It wasn't his ad. Trump lied about Cruz's involvement.
No, and in fact it appears that it was Ted’s campaign manager who requested the photo from GC magazine and provided it to the PAC. Whether that will prove to be true or not there is one thing that is clear.
Ted Cruz was involved because his campaign was mentioned by name in the ad. By not speaking against the ad and the tactics of attack ads aimed at family members he is condoning the tactic. Silence is assent.
Even when Trump was not responsible and wasn’t mentioned in the cartoon about Cruz’s daughters he denounced the attack on Cruz’s daughters. Too bad “moral Ted”, who is showing us the “Face of G*d” was not upright enough to do the same until Trump turned up the heat.
