BREAKING: Washington Times Reporter Drops Bomb On Ted Cruz Mistress Allegations

The April 4 edition of The National Enquirer makes damaging claims about Ted Cruz in a bold, above-the-fold headline. But don’t be so quick to write it off as another silly claim by a silly tabloid. A political columnist for The Washington Times just backed up the story that Cruz had multiple extramarital affairs.

Yes, the very religious Republican presidential candidate had so many affairs and one-night stands that “it’s over for Pervy Ted,” the supermarket tabloid claims.

“Cruz’s 5 Secret Mistresses! Their Shocking Claims!”
“Conservative – Family Man – Evangelical – HYPOCRITE!”

Claiming unidentified investigators and “political operatives” as sources, the rag claims Cruz had five extramarital affairs, which include women who worked for his campaign and even a high-priced prostitute.

These are the five affairs National Enquirer claims to be an “explosive dirt file” on Cruz:

A political consultant who once worked for Cruz, and who now works on another political campaign.

“’Randy Ted’ supposedly had a romp with her in a closet at a Republican state convention.”

An attorney in Washington, D.C. who worked for Cruz’s U.S. Senate campaign.

“It’s alleged that Ted hooked up with her at the Republican Capitol Hill Club in a private room.”

A “hot babe” who once worked for one of his political campaigns.

“The two were caught ‘getting cozy’ on the campaign trail.”

A woman he met while serving another office in Texas.

“’A very sexy Austin schoolteacher’ who may have had a fling with Ted after he was appointed Texas Solicitor General.”

A very-expensive, $1,000-a-night call girl in D.C.

“Ted supposedly had it on with a prostitute.”

The Washington Times’ Drew Johnson says the Enquirer is at least partially correct. He tweeted on March 25 that he personally knows of two of those five affairs.

Even without Johnson’s defense of the story, remember that it was this same National Enquirer that had the scoop on John Edwards’ affair . And that same story crumbled the political campaign of the Democratic presidential wannabe in 2008.

That doesn’t mean that this “bombshell” about “Casanova Cruz” has guaranteed accuracy, of course. But if the tabloid batted one-thousand on Edwards, then a simple two-out-of-five .400 RBI would carry just as much impact.

Will these new rumors affect Cruz’s campaign? A secret source of National Enquirer sure thinks so:

“Cruz’s image as a Christian Family Man is utterly destroyed.”

The U.S. Senator from Texas currently has 465 delegates in the race to gain Republican Party nomination in the 2016 presidential race. Donald Trump has 739. A minimum of 1,237 delegates are needed to gain the nomination before the national convention, and 944 delegates are still open in upcoming primary elections.

AND HERE’S WHAT THE MAGAZINE SAYS ABOUT CLAIMS IT WAS INFLUENCED BY TRUMP

No one influences the reporting that the National Enquirer does other than our own reporters and editors.

We stand by the integrity of our coverage and remain committed to our aggressive reporting on such an important topic.

The more than any other publication, has been unflinching in its reporting on the 2016 presidential candidates.

No one in the D.C. swamp is decent. Come on, they aren’t allowed in the door unless they are already compromised or can be blackmailed in some way over the skeletons in their CIA files. This is how the game is played. The D.C. kingmakers have a file ready to go on everyone ready to play. Play by their rules, get out or get outed. Simple.

Ted has been fishwrappered. Blaming Trump was all he could do along with a categorical denial? Ted’s denial must convince his followers or he is done. He can’t pull a Clinton and expect it to work for him, while professing his Christianity.

GOPe wants Trump in political cemetary and want Cruz in the political hospital. CREATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN GIVE US THE SOLUTION. Kasich. This why Kung Fu Konfetti Kasich is still with us. The son of a mailman who can cross the aisle, give an olive branch to the Demoncrats and keep the Congressional check book in the hands of the squishy moderate publicans.

Alinsky rule RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this
because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its
commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
