Washington Times FIRES writer who everyone says confirmed National Enquirer story

A Washington Times writer was abruptly fired after he “came clean” on Twitter about the Ted Cruz sex scandal. The writer, Drew Johnson, confirmed via his Twitter account that there was some truth to the Ted Cruz affair rumors noting that he knows at least two of the mistresses named by the National Enquirer are accurate. The columnist says that other media outlets, columnists and reporters knew about the affairs, but refused to run the story.

The National Enquirer has caused a media firestorm after publishing a cover story about GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz and a series of alleged mistresses. The publication is a known tabloid, but despite its reputation for the sensational, has broke a number of big stories related to political candidates and high profile cases in the past. For example, the National Enquirer was the first to break stories about Gary Hart, Jesse Jackson and John Edwards before they were confirmed by the mainstream media. Therefore, when the tabloid decided to run with a story about Ted Cruz and his rumored “five mistresses,” it left some questioning if the bombshell report could be true.

In response to the story in question, a Washington Times columnist responded that it is not entirely bogus as from “what he knows” at least two of the mistresses outlined in the report are “accurate.”

The article shows the Tweets by Washington Times reporter Drew Johnson. The Times comes across very poorly as the facts come to light. The Times tried to say that Johnson was not a reporter for them for over a year, to which Johnson posted links to recent articles he wrote for them, and even his bank statement from the Times paying him for his work.

The whole thing reeks of more Establishment cover ups. But Johnson is the one that emerges better off than the WT.

I understand the National Enquirer plans another follow-up article later this week. Is that correct?

Who’s “everyone”. I always love the “everyone says” something but nobody can ever name the everyone.

If he really has a story being fired wouldn’t stop him from “spilling the beans”.

[bagman]

I thought that Bill Clinton showed us that such activity was acceptable.

[beandog]

Well if Clinton didn’t, the support for the Donald sure has.

I don't know. Perhaps. No one will be suing the National Enquirer. They will threaten to sue, but they won't. The Legal Discovery process itself would be prove to be a nightmare of embarrassment for several of the people involved because I believe it is true.

[Responsibility2nd]

And where is that video proof they were claiming to have?

BINGO! This reporter is free to put out his information and the fact that he has not done so proves he nothing of value.

"Confirming" the story was being shopped about or that one or two of the outed women were part of the rumors is a giant zero. He will will not be a nominee for the next Pulitzer prize.

You are a true believer

[ScottinVA]

Yep... his claim to “confirming” the story was bunk from the start.

[VRWCarea51]

You got it. Trump Republic and the Trumplican guard have become the Katie Courics of the internet.

Facts? Well, Some people say... Video? Ohh It's damning alright. Look there he is with a Campaign Aid coming out of Restraunt. OOoooh Boy that's BAD!

Any room reservation receipts? NO
Any Pictures of them going in or out of a room ? NO
Any receipts or records of a room rental? NO

This place has turned into sick demented D.U. gossip center. All to promote a Adultrous, Life long Liberal.

How twisted is that?

I expected that once Cruz issued a firm denial the Enquire was going to drip-drip-drip him all the way to the Convention.

[ScottinVA]

They have added 3 new woman to the list, Rubio has his Gang of 8 and sCruz has his Bang of 8

Who are the ubiquitous "they?"

You are a true believer

In matters of my faith in Jesus Christ, yes. I weighed that evidence, and came to truly believe.

In other matters of life (economics, politics, etc), I weigh the facts presented. In terms of this issue, I believe Cruz is guilty of adultery and lying. That's my opinion.

What do you believe in?
