Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday slammed rival Ted Cruz for the recent ad produced by an anti-Trump super-PAC featuring a photo of Trump's wife posing nude.
"From what I hear, he and his campaign went out and bought the cover shoot. Melania did a cover story for 'GQ,' a very strong modeling picture. No big deal," Trump said on ABC's "This Week."
"But it was a cover story for 'GQ,' a big magazine. And it was, you know, fine. And from what I hear, somebody bought the rights to it and he was the one or his campaign bought the rights and they gave it to the super PAC."
Trump said Cruz knew about the ad, adding he started the latest fight between the two. Last week, Trump threatened to "spill the beans" on Cruz's wife in response to the ad featuring Melania Trump. He then shared a tweet featuring a photo of his wife next to a photo of Cruz's wife, stating, "A picture is worth a thousands words."
Cruz has denied knowing anything about the ad, and called it deplorable on Sunday.
But Trump said the super PAC that produced the ad is "very friendly to Ted Cruz."
"He knew all about it, 100 percent," he said.
"There's no way in a million years that super PAC did that without his absolute knowledge."
So it’s independent sourcing? Not an echo?
I suppose Trump would not have said that if it could backfire on him.
Thank you for bringing attention to it.
Trump must have investigated this independently.
No longer some obscure tweet.
Only a phone call away to GQ on Monday morning to confirm.
Trump: “FROM WHAT I HEAR...”
At the Trumpaholics are accusing TED of hedging?
And the Trumpaholics take this rumormongering as PROOF?
Both stupid and disgusting in equal measure.
I agree, Trump is not as thin skinned as some suppose, but not me.
If they were married or not is an issue because some are posting he let his wife pose nude. So it is also important to correct people saying the photos were nude photos.
I’d already seen the photos a long time ago, when this story broke I searched for her nude photos. My bad.
Yes she was.
But wait. When Trumpettes accuse Cruz of publishing the photos they are “nude photos” but when they are defending this nude model as a “classy woman” those same pics aren’t nude.
Is your gas tank full yet?
I only mentioned she wasn’t nude, from that you made up all that other crap.
busTED sCruz started this because he knew the sex article was coming out. His hope was to deflect his “Bang of 8” problem.
My post didn’t sling an insult at you, but yours did which lets me know who you support.
I hope that Ted Cruz has not had affairs and cheated on his wife. Not because I have some romanticized idea about him being the perfect conservative, but because of the pain it will cause his family, specifically his two innocent daughters. America does not need yet another broken family. I am not an evangelical and I don’t have a problem with the photo.
You seem to know for certain that Ted Cruz has cheated and that the story will grow in the media. I have no idea if you are correct or not. I do know that I will not be thankful for a family being torn apart just for the opportunity to say I told you so to people who foolishly pin all their hopes on men and not God. For the record, I would feel the same way the rumors were about Trump instead of Cruz.
Nothing was made up.
How you guys define a nude model as “classy” and a role mode for conservatives is amazing.
Sorry but don’t post to me, you’re a moroon. I only said she wasn’t nude, everything you made up.
She was nude. Heck Trumps own son referred to his step-mothers pictures as “nude”.
It doesn’t matter who thinks or says she was nude, she in fact has something on covering key aspects of her body, this not nude.
So occording to your logic McConnel or Graham saying their consrrvatives makes them conservatives.
So she’s nude when you want to bash Cruz, but not nude when you want to tout this woman as a classy first lady.
The people who own the pictures, GQ, call them nude.
She’s not wearing any clothes in the pictures. That equals nude in everyone elses book except yours apparently.
You probably have an excuse for the fact Trump was married to another woman when he started sleeping with this woman.
Or maybe thats Cruz’s fault too??
No excuse, but Trump is pretending to be the anointed one sent from god to save us. Trump admits his shortcomings, sCruz pretends he’s someone he isn’t, “a man of god”
Only the smart ones know she isn’t nude. The arguement is not how you present it. So come back when you figure out what the arguement is about.
What time do you get off at the sCruz campign office?
Cruz admits hes a sinner. At least he accepts that instead of comparing his sins to his own private “vietnam” as Trump has.
I’d rather follow someone imperfect but who accepts Jesus as his savior, than someone who thinks he’s god.
Trump, Trumps son, GQ and the rest of the world all call em nude.
She’s not wearing any clothes in some of them. In others she’s posed very provactively with her assets barely covered.
She’s a nude model. Saying she’s not is dishonest.
Is that part of Trumps new talking points?
