The truth behind the rumor-mongering, however, is a little more complex. A half-dozen GOP operatives and media figures tell The Daily Beast that Cruzs opponents have been pushing charges of adultery for at least six months nowand that allies of former GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio were involved in spreading the smears.
For months and months, anti-Cruz operatives have pitched a variety of #CruzSexScandal stories to a host of prominent national publications, according to Republican operatives and media figures. The New York Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg News, Politico, and ABC Newsreporters at all those outlets heard some version of the Cruz-is-cheating story. None of them decided to run with rumors. Those publications representatives all declined to provide on-the-record comments when The Daily Beast reached out for this article.
Breitbart News, the notoriously Trump-friendly conservative outlet, was also pitched the story of Cruzs extramarital affairs, according to a source close to the publication. That source said an operative allied with Marco Rubiobut not associated with his official campaignshowed the publication a compilation video of Cruz and a woman other than his wife coming out of the Capitol Grille restaurant and a hotel on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But the outlet opted not to report on the video, which demonstrated no direct evidence of an affair.

Remarkable and sad that all this sleaze is breaking on Good Friday.
It’s a satire piece, Einstein.
TRUMPS FAULT!
By the time is it done I think the San Andreas fault going to get renamed Trumps Fault
Dam this primary is racking up a hell of a body count of GOP establishment political figures... it’s a blood bath out there
Just like I’ve suspected.
The GOP-e is trying to destroy both Cruz and Trump.
With no fingerprints on Romney/Jeb...they ride to the rescue.
Well it’s kind of sad for Ted that I missed the HuffPo Comedy header and actually thought it was real, after the copulating with rats comment. LOL
Rubio’s people pitching it to other news outlets and Roger Stone working with National Enquirer are not necessarily mutually exclusive events...
The thing trumpfolx need to ask themselves is: why would Cruz derail his lifelong work to be POTUS over some non-descript poontang? Running for the office is murderous, why would he sabotage his own effort?
“Breitbart News, the notoriously Trump-friendly conservative outlet”
Really?
Funniest thing I read on Twitter: if Ted Cruz gets elected, does that mean Heidi will be the Sixth Lady?
As warped as this entire election season has been, and will be, good to see the man in the street keeps his sense of humor.
Another guy tweeted: There’s depression and then there’s Ted Cruz gets laid more than me depression...
Bill Clinton just endorsed Ted Cruz
ha ha!
Meanwhile Trump is living the lie. He is not what he says he is. He never has been. If you choose to believe he is who he says he is help yourself to the trough.
The rat copulation comment was hilarious.
Wilson has been talking about THE THING for months now. The Thing, I assume, is the tape of Cruz leaving hotels/restaurants with women not named Heidi Cruz. Breitbart was right to pass on it.
This is GOPe through and through and they’re going to torpedo Cruz and Trump and instal Kasich, Romney, or Ryan. Just you watch.
GQ said that Cruz’s campaign manager asked for the Melania photo. I suppose they needed permission?
Maybe he doesn’t know what his staffers are doing. That might be worse than him knowing.
>>>Bill Clinton just endorsed Ted Cruz
Also Bill Cosby and Tiger Woods.
The woman, whose brother is married to the alleged paramour who appears on CNN as contributor, said, Its true. They were together only a few times. She added her sister-in-law, was transfixed by Ted. He has a way of selling ice to an Eskimo. I asked when the affairs occurred. Right before Teds campaign for Senate, she said. Theyd get together when Cruz visited DC. She added, The whole family knows, everybody knows about this.
Cruzs lover is married and has children.

“Sure Heidi appreciate him saying that.”
From some of the glimpses of that marriage she might indeed be happy to delegate that work.
great point
