Ted Cruz denies affairs, denounces ‘garbage’ report; Trump says his campaign wasn’t involved
The Dallas Morning News ^ | 3/25/16 | Tod Gillman

WASHINGTON — A Donald Trump supporter aired unsubstantiated rumors of Ted Cruz infidelity on CNN on Friday. Within an hour, Cruz accused Trump of using “henchmen” to peddle tabloid “garbage” and “complete and utter lies.”

By mid-afternoon, Trump took to social media to deny his involvement in the story.

Mainstream news outlets had steered clear of the rumors and a report in the tabloid National Enquirer before the Trump supporter — appearing live with Amanda Carpenter, a CNN commentator who had worked as Cruz’s communications director — demanded Carpenter address the allegation that she had an affair with the senator.

“It is categorically false. You should be ashamed for spreading this kind of smut,” Carpenter shot back, visibly angry, denouncing the “tabloid trash.”

Twitter and other social media have erupted since the Enquirer posted its story Thursday afternoon, with the hashtag #Cruzsexscandal trending. Cruz detractors mounted an impromptu crowdsourcing effort online to identify the five women whose photos the Enquirer published with black bars across their eyes.

Cruz was campaigning in Wisconsin as Friday’s CNN segment was airing onstage live at a town hall in Oshkosh. The Enquirer report did not come up in the Q&A. The senator addressed it with reporters afterward.

Cruz also posted a denial on his Facebook page.

What a pathetic, cowardly snivelling liar.

Poor Teddy Bares. Teddy is a pathetic, cowardly sniveling lying lawyer. Teddy is also an alleged adulterer and is definitely a LOSER. Poor Teddy Bares.

VOTE FOR THE WINNER. VOTE TRUMP!

Seems Cruz has been accusing others of lying.
First was the flap with Dr. Carson in Iowa.
Cruz was denying everything, yet, the only person that could benefit from the lie was Ted Cruz.
Now, Trump is accused of lying, so says Cruz.
I don’t know the truth and don’t know anyone that does, but seems like Cruz is nervous and his actions confirms it.
I hope this clears soon so we can get on with electing a President.

“An alleged adulterer.” Yeah, the only one making any allegations is Donald Trump, whose fortune is made off of bribing Democrats to allow his prostitution empire.

Supposedly, she’s now deleted the Ted jacket tweet/pic. How silly. The internet’s forever.

Interesting. Honestly I did not notice the jacket at first. I did not make the connection. My daughter and her friends (early 20s) saw it immediately and understood what it meant. Maybe it was a generational thing. Then again I'm a guy and that may have played a role.

Her engineering major was worth something. She had a class where the professor lit a candle. He told the class to observe it and write down 100 observations of what they saw. She was very impressed by this and told us she wanted to take the class again. Impressive. That doesn't happen in college much anymore.

One of the take aways from the course is she is observing everything now. It has put her on a proper course.

To be clear: all of the women are unnamed and published as denying it...

To be clear... It amazes me how people are not able to read simple English these days. The article says that only Katrina responded to NE with a denial.

The source of the allegations is pretty well established by now. You simply don't want to concede that it is the Rubio camp, not Trump.

As for your reference to Trump as sleazy, I say that he appears to be the only moral candidate left in the race.

Roger Stone's principal contribution is an "on the record" source that the rumors have been swirling for a while. Heck, I could have told you that. They've been swirling here on FR. Numerous media sources have already confirmed that they knew about the story.

In any event, Senator Cruz's problems are his, and his alone.

Come on. You can’t expect Cruz supporters to read English. It they could do that, they would have realized the guy was a fraud months ago!

Trump never made an allegation about Cruz’s infidelity ..Cruz did however, make the allegation that Trump was peddling this story ..you are really going to have to brush up on facts before you get involved with this discussion

What is up with the jacket? I have looked at it and don't see anything.

this is the DUMBEST thing I’ve read in so long, I can’t remember.

EIGHT. he has 8 :) or maybe 15. or 28. or 100.

that stud.

cause he figured he could run for president while having eight affairs.

or fourteen. seems the number is arbitrary and a GREAT article earlier on destroyed the Enquirer report.

BTW, Joan Rivers’ death was a cover up :) and Ben Carson butchered a few kids’ brains like he was using a hack saw, or something like that. :) but they were right a few times. that’s all that counts!!!

The human mind at work...

Honestly, that is so fringe it's just downright hilarious.

Looks like puppy-love to me.

I've never seen a doggie look more perplexed.

Ah, how do I answer this?

Nice....great story...observation is the key. So many folks don’t see half (if that much) of what is going on, around them.

Anyone with common sense can deduce that Cruz and Carpenter were boinking.

It’s funny I even got that vibe a couple months ago the way she would defend him on CNN. Seemed so personal..

Cruz followers will have a decision by week’s end, the same as the Clinton worshippers did - defend the behavior to keep him politically viable or distance themselves. Will be fun to watch...
