Katrina Pierson (named as one of Cruz’s alledged mistresses and also a Trump campaign spokesperson) has said this is 100% false, and that’s good enough for me. I’m a Trump supporter and I’d love there to be a Cruz scandal, just to get this primary season over with and allow Trump to focus on the real enemy!
But Katrina Pierson is a Trump Campaign spokesperson who has been tremendously effective when speaking on his behalf and after listening to her speak a number of times, I find her to be totally believable. She seems like the ultimate truth teller to me. She also seems strong, clear headed and sharp as a tack, and the very last person you would ever expect to get involved in a sordid campaign trail sex scandal, or be attracted to a Ted Cruz. If I’m wrong about this I’ll literally eat my hat.
I also believe Trump had absolutely nothing to do with this story - for one thing, he has a first hand account from his respected spokesperson that it’s not true, so it would be stupid to risk being blamed for with any part of a false smear attempt. Secondly, if he knows it’s not true, he would not drag Pierson through the mud, since he obviously has a lot of respect for her.
This is a nothing burger.
Before the rumors and allegations were made public in a scorching piece against Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for allegedly having five extramarital affairs, the accusations laid in hiding under a mysterious hashtag on Twitter.
For weeks leading up to the National Enquirer report out Friday, which claims Cruz had sexual relations with five former co-workers and political insiders, supporters of Sen. Marco Rubio and “#NeverTrump” promoters on social media discussed “#TheThing,” as the Cruz allegation was dubbed by insiders.
I never bought the idea of Katrina Pierson sleeping with Cruz but Katrina Pierson did say she was only speaking about herself when she said 100% fault.
