When I researched this, I didn't find that Ted Cruz had done these things. Some of his overzealous supporters (from Utah I think) made an issue about Melania posing nude, but Cruz didn't do this, nor did he sanction it.
Other people constantly repeated that Cruz was responsible, but they either weren't being honest or they didn't know what they were talking about. (merely repeating what others had said)
Do I remember the exact details off hand.. No.. I would have to go back and watch the vids and read the articles.. and after doing all of that you will still defend Ted because you obviously were blinded to the truth the first time around. Donald Trump was always fair..
I am objective, and If I had found evidence of Cruz Lying, I would have said so. Why would I be defending Cruz other than out of a desire to see the truth acknowledged? He's not President, he didn't win, he likely won't win in the future, so I really have no motive in defending him other than that I hate to see someone so viciously attacked for things he didn't actually do.
I almost got thrown off of Free Republic by Jim Robinson himself because I had been repeatedly saying Cruz is not a "natural born citizen." So don't tell me I'm blinded to the truth. I am trying to stand up for the truth, and to counteract the mob mentality that created and spread the claim that Cruz was a liar.
If he's told a lie, I haven't seen it so far. All I get are people telling me that "everyone knows this", but nobody provides any evidence to prove it.
And yet you claimed Cruz is a supreme liar by standing for an office for which he is ineligible.
I wish I could refind for you the clip showing a Cruz campaign representative TV interview where the campaign representative went out of her way to talk about Melania’s checked past and racy photos that were not suitable for a first lady.
The interview was several weeks before the nude photo mailer and was in a sense the introduction to that line of attack and was the first attack on a candidate’s wife. I did post it on FR during the campaign but last time I tried it was just too many posts to search and the internet search with key words pulls up too much material. That was the interview that convinced me that the campaign was aware the mailer was going out.
I agree with you that it is water under the bridge. Ted Cruz may yet contribute to MAGA, and that is really what matters.
