Sen. Mike Lee on Wednesday cited Donald Trump's use of a baseless tabloid report that Ted Cruz's father helped conspire to kill President John F. Kennedy as a reason he has yet to endorse the presumptive Republican nominee in a heated exchange.

Kind of funny about Carly. She protected Cruz from the press when they tried to ask questions about the sex scandal, and then shortly after, Cruz jumps on her. Heidi was upset about that.
And not to mention how they could take care of ‘future’ glitzes, like providing fake citizenship papers for his son, Ted.
Now that you mention it, we have all probably been discounting the whole faith/prophecy thing here, where “it has been prophesied” that he is the next president. Once that goes, it’s more than merely a failed presidential run.
That’s what I thought. No denial because it likely is Rafael Cruz in the pic. Plus all Trump ever did was mention the Enquirer pic and article as far as I heard.
Oh, trust me: some of us are never, EVER gonna forget about all of that "Seven Mountain"-style nutbaggery. ;)
I’ll just note that Cruz dropped out of the race pretty quickly after that story broke in the Miami Herald.
How Trump gets blamed by Lee for simply mentioning he heard about the story is anyone’s guess.
“Donald Trump’s Pants on Fire claim linking Ted Cruz’s father and JFK assassination”
“Trump said that Rafael Cruz “was with Lee Harvey Oswald” before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The sole “evidence” for this claim is a grainy photograph that shows Oswald with a man who may bear a resemblance to Cruz. But experts tell PolitiFact that the image is too degraded to offer much confidence. At the same time, multiple experts about the world of early 1960s pro-Castro advocacy said they have never seen evidence of Cruz associating with Oswald and consider Trumps claim implausible at best and ridiculous at worst.”

YES but he picked his bro for the US Supreme Court
When Cruz “OK’d” the Ayers/Left Wing astro turf for hire attacks by BLAMING TRUMP for them, the violent demonstrations got worse - Albuquerque, Los Angeles, San Jose. Cruz could have shined the light on the violent left wing rioters and HE DID NOT. He blamed Trump. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE Cruz for that. NEVER!
If our two “top conservative” senators are going to stand around pouting with their thumbs up their butts and allow the America-hating Hillary Clinton to get elected to the presidency where she will have the power to completely destroy our country, then I guess they’re actually not that conservative are they? Same goes for our old friends Levin and Limbaugh. Wake up and smell the coffee. It’s a lot later than you think.
Thank you. I honestly never thought I would see the day that a 100 rating Conservative Senator was getting trashed like this on FR. It appears that Conservatism has been sacrificed to Populism on what was once a stalwart Conservative site.
I agree with you fully. I hope Trump wins or its all over but here we have a guy who wants to increase ethanol subsidies and restrict free trade. People like Lee and Cruz will stop the stuck on stupid policies like these.
Good on you.
Good post topic to boot.
Yup. Pretty amazing that these two conservatives would turn the WH, the military, the economy and the courts over to Hillary Clinton because their feelings are hurt.
Actually, I bet that Mike DOES know that what Trump actually DID say is NOT what he claims, but since DIRTY TEDDY is his BFF and Lee obviously HATES Trump, he is using any other excuse to smear trump with.
Mike Lee puts his crazy religious cult and his Melchizedek Bishop SLICK WILLARD ROMNEY’s hatred of Donald J. Trump ahead of the common interest of the working American.
Mike Lee can go get scratch himself.
Now that you mention it, we have all probably been discounting the whole faith/prophecy thing here, where it has been prophesied that he is the next president. Once that goes, its more than merely a failed presidential run.

I’m sad to report, I was for Cruz before I was against him. Originally, he was my first choice, the more I saw of him ... the less I liked him.
Oh get over it....Teddy doesn’t “fight” for anything, except for himself and what the other GOPEers and Goldman Sachs tells him to.
It also shows that Mike Lee is more interested in representing Ted Cruz than the people of Utah. Trump never said Ted’s dad was involved in the JFK assassination. He only asked about him in the photo.
I’m just glad they’re revealing who they are so we can take names!
Yeah. There is alot of shady stuff with him. Nobody shows up to a college, with no english, no money, and they provide them a social security card and other help. Crazy.
In my opinion, Lee doesn’t have to endorse Trum, but he is a Hillary supporter when he openly goes out of his way to bash Trump. He knows full well Hillary will use his Trump bashing against Trump. He’s “arming” the enemy! Why would he do that?
