Michael Savage threatens to WITHDRAW SUPPORT from Trump over National Enquirer smear

Michael Savage said today on his radio show that the National Enquirer story smearing Ted Cruz is completely false, and he knows this based on a source he says he would trust with his life. Savage points out that Cruz is rightly offended over this utter garbage.

But even more so, Savage says that he abhors these attempts of assassination by innuendo, as it has been done to him, and while he doesn’t blame Trump for the story, he threatens to withdraw his support of Trump if he doesn’t completely disavow the story and the man who owns the National Enquirer, David Pecker.

I'm not a Cruz fan but this story seems like total bullshit and has Trump stink all over it. I think Cruz is a bit out there but I don't believe him to be a bad man.

The hit piece is very hard to believe but Trump had nothing to do with it although after it came out,
Trump has tried to capitalized on it. It's almost impossible to contemplate that 5 woman actually
voluntarily went to bed with Cruz.

CUBAN MISTRESS CRISIS=> Anonymous Claims They HAVE PROOF of Cruz Affairs – Rumors Did Not Start with Donald Trump

Do you ever look at Trumps general election chances as a realist.

He will be extremely unpopular in a general election and will not flip any blue states to red. He could flip red to blue because of his massive negatives to general election voters.

You are really in for a rude awakening if he is the republican nominee.

He is the personification of the addendum to the old saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted," which is, a fool and his money were lucky to get together in the first place...

[h=2]Revealed: Cruz's FIVE affair rumors 'came from a Marco Rubio ally' who has been pushing the claims for SIX months - as Trump taunts his rival over the sex scandal on Twitter [/h]

Ted Cruz, the Republican candidate, is denying a claim that he has had five affairs. The claim first surfaced in the National Enquirer with no women being named - but then a senior Republican strategist, Liz Mair (top right) named two of the women alleged to have had the affairs. Mair said she did not believe Amanda Carpenter, Cruz's former spokesman (top left) would have had an affair with the candidate. But she claimed Katrina Pierson, a former Cruz aide who now works for Donald Trump (bottom left) might have 'come on to' the Texas senator. Both woman denied any wrongdoing today. Carpenter was asked on CNN about the claims and angrily struck back, blaming the Donald Trump campaign for the claims. And Cruz launched a robust defense today, denying the claims - also blaming 'henchmen' of Donald Trump for spreading 'garbage'.

By NIKKI SCHWAB, U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM and KALHAN ROSENBLATT FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 16:32, 25 March 2016 | UPDATED: 23:43, 25 March 2016



Rumors surrounding Ted Cruz and allegations he cheated on his wife with five women are believed to have steamed from Marco Rubio's camp - not Donald Trump's, as initially believed.
'For months and months, anti-Cruz operatives have pitched a variety of #CruzSexScandal stories to a host of prominent national publications,' The Daily Beast has reported.
Breitbart News claims it was one of those outlets that was pitched a 'Cruz Sex Scandal' story.
The news site said the pitch came from a video peddled by a 'Rubio ally'.

+23


Very public display: Ted Cruz hugged his wife Heidi today as he issued an unprecedented public denial of claims he had affairs with five women - two of whom were named by the strategy head of a super PAC which earlier this week published a pro-Cruz poster of Melania Trump naked

+23


Cruz, who ate lunch with his family at a traditional fish fry restaurant in Green Bay, Wisconsin, (pictured), initially blamed Donald Trump for the affair allegations

+23


Breitbart News revealed on Friday that a 'Marco Rubio ally' has been peddling a story about Cruz's sex scandal for approximately six months, according to the Daily Beast

+23


Breitbart News claims it was one of those outlets that was pitched a 'Cruz Sex Scandal' story, but decided there wasn't enough evidence to merit a report

+23


The 'Marco Rubio ally' who pitched the story showed Breitbart a video compilation of Cruz with other women

+23


In one video it is alleged 'Cruz and a woman other than his wife' can be seen 'coming out of the Capitol Grille restaurant'

The video shows 'a compilation video of Cruz and a woman other than his wife coming out of the Capitol Grille restaurant and a hotel on Tuesdays and Thursdays', according to The Daily Beast.
In the end Breitbart News turned the story down because 'there was no way to verify the claims'.
However, the video was enough for Nation Enquirer to run with it.
Cruz believed it was Donald Trump and his 'henchmen' who were spreading a smear, prompting a scathing response from the Republican frontrunner.
Cruz publicly denied cheating on his wife Heidi with five woman - described in the National Enquirer as including a 'hot babe' and a '$1,000 a night call girl'.

+23


Another clip in the video is said to show the GOP presidential hopeful coming out of 'a hotel on Tuesdays and Thursdays'

+23


Amidst the scandal Cruz toured the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame with former Green Bay Packer player Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila

And he accused Donald Trump and his henchmen of being behind it saying his rival had acted to 'enlist' the Enquirer to spread a smear.
That prompted Trump to issue a lengthy statement denying being involved, but which said of the National Enquirer 'they were right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards and many others.'
'I certainly hope they are not right about Lyin' Ted Cruz,' he said.

+23


While spending the day with his wife, Heidi, and daughters Caroline and Catherine Cruz, Ted Cruz denied the allegations brought forward by National Enquirer, who published the story

+23


Cruz went after Donald Trump, but didn't realize the story of the alleged affair had come from Rubio's camp

The extraordinary spectacle of the Christian conservative candidate defending the integrity of his marriage unfolded in the space of hours.
He first found himself facing extraordinary claims of five affairs when a story in the National Enquirer magazine became the subject of Washington gossip on Thursday night, and two women were named as potential mistresses by a Republican operative on Friday morning.
The Enquirer had never named the women with whom it accused Cruz of cheating on his wife Heidi.

Donald Trump's spokeswoman Katrina Pierson (left) pushed back on allegations - that started with a National Enquirer story - that she had an affair and 'came on' to Sen. Ted Cruz - and so did Amanda Carpenter (right)

+23

But then the Republican behind an attack on Donald Trump earlier this week which featured a naked picture of his wife Melania named two women she said were alleged to be his mistress.
Liz Mair, a respected Republican strategist, used her Twitter to name Amanda Carpenter, a former spokeswoman for Trump who is now a CNN contributor, and a Trump spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, who is also a former Cruz aide.
Both denied the claim robustly - but it lit a fire which Cruz then had to act to put out.
'Let me be clear. This National Enquirer story is garbage,' Cruz said this afternoon. 'It is complete and utter lies. It is a tabloid smear and it is a smear that has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen.'
Then he launched into an attack on Trump saying his rival was a 'rat' - 'but I have no desire to copulate with him'.
He blamed Roger Stone, a former Trump aide labeled a 'ratf****r' over claims he was involved in dirty tricks for the Nixon administration for the 'garbage', saying Stone had '50 years of dirty tricks behind him'.
'He’s a man for whom a term was coined for copulating with a rodent. Well, let me be clear. Donald Trump may be a rat but I have no desire to copulate with him.'
Then he used Facebook to blame Trump directly.
'For Donald J. Trump to enlist his friends at the National Enquirer and his political henchmen to do his bidding shows you that there is no low Donald won’t go,' he said.
'These smears are completely false, they’re offensive to Heidi and me, they’re offensive to our daughters, and they’re offensive to everyone Donald continues to personally attack.'
But the claim that Trump had influenced it incensed the National Enquirer.
Its parent company AMI issued a statement saying: 'No one influence the reporting that the National Enquirer does other than our own reporters and editors.'
By 5pm in the afternoon the rival candidates attacked each other's mental health.
Jeff Roe, Cruz's campaign manager tweeted an accusation that Trump was hiding some form of mental illness.
'MISSING#SleazyDonald Why no events in 4 days; none planned for 8. Ever had psychological eval? What is hiding in medical records! Release!'
Trump's rapid response was to retweet a suggestion Cruz was having a breakdown.
His message read: '@11phenomenon: #LyingTed blames @realDonaldTrump for so many things I am starting to think he is having a mental health crisis.'
Cruz, who has made his Christian faith and family values the centerpiece of his campaign for the White House, using campaign time to deny five affairs, sent shocks through Washington.
On twitter, the hashtag 'TedCruzAffairs' was one of the most popular across the nation.
Both women named by Mair denied they had committed adultery with Cruz.

+23


And finally: The Cruz camp's late afternoon response to the day's developments

+23


Last word: Donald Trump hit back by retweeting a suggestion that Cruz was having 'a mental health crisis'

'Speaking for myself, the article is trash and 100 percent false,' Pierson told Daily Mail Online.
'What’s out there is tabloid trash. If someone wants to comment on it, they can talk to my lawyer,' said Carpenter of the allegations.
Mair had named them both on Twitter this morning. She wrote tweets directed at both Pierson and Carpenter suggesting that they should sue as the allegations are 'obviously false.'
'Ted Cruz should sue over [obviously] false allegation he had an affair [with] Katrina Pierson, [though] I've heard she may have come onto him. Who knows,' Mair wrote.
The tweet incensed Pierson, who wrote back earlier this morning.
'What's worse? People who actually believe the trash in tabloids, or the ones who know it's false & spread it anyway? #stupidity on all levels,' Pierson tweeted.
Pierson, a Dallas-based tea party leader had prominently been a Cruz supporter before switching her allegiance and vocally supporting Trump.
She eventually became a paid member of The Donald's campaign.
Contacted by email, Mair's out-of-office reply indicated that had already left for the Easter holiday and would be back next week.
Turning to the Carpenter allegation, Mair had wrote: 'As for people suggesting Amanda Carpenter slept [with] Cruz, she should sue them.'
'That is [obviously] false, as anyone who knows Amanda knows,' Mair continued.

+23


Republican strategist Liz Mair - whose super PAC Make America Awesome produced a controversial nude Melania Trump ad - outed Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson as one of the five women the National Enquirer suggested slept with Ted Cruz after Twitter users started identifying her

+23

+23


Liz Mair also named CNN's Amanda Carpenter, a former communicators director for Sen. Ted Cruz, as one of the women whose blurred face appeared in the National Enquirer story

+23


Donald Trump's spokeswoman Katrina Pierson wrote this tweet this morning after Republican strategist publicly named her as one of the five women the National Enquirer claimed had an affair with Sen. Ted Cruz

+23


She did this too: Liz Mair was behind this campaign image distributed in Utah to attack Donald Trump earlier this week - to the fury of the Republican frontrunner, who blamed 'Lyin' Ted Cruz' for it

+23



'It would also be fun to get access to Trump comms staff, Trump Org emails as part of discovery in a defamation suit,' Mair added in another tweet, tagging Carpenter's Twitter handle.
Carpenter was forced to respond to the story during a live television segment.
The CNN contributor appeared alongside Trump supporter Adriana Cohen, a columnist for the Boston Herald.
The two women were supposed to be discussing this week's tiff between the Cruz and Trump camps, but instead Cohen brought the tabloid story up.
'If we're going to call Donald Trump's character into question, I would like Ted Cruz to issue a statement on whether or not the story is true, that he has had affairs with may women, including, you were named, Amanda,' Cohen said, pointing to her co-panelist.
'Will you denounce this story or will you confirm it?'
Carpenter denounced, with an assist from host Kate Bolduan, who said that CNN had done no reporting to lend credibility to the Enquirer's account and the subsequent Twitter claims as to who its unnamed women were.
'It's categorically false,' Carpenter said. 'You should be ashamed for spreading this smut. Donald Trump supporters should be held to account for it.'
Cohen blasted back: 'I'm not spreading smut,' she said.
'I will not be intimated,' Carpenter replied. 'I will continue to make my thoughts known about Donald Trump. I am not backing down.'

+23



Ted Cruz spent much of his week defending his wife Heidi Cruz against attacks made by Donald Trump and his allies

+23


What the Enquirer got right: The news magazine correctly found that John Edwards was cheating on his wife with a campaign aide who had his love child

+23


And this too: Trump did not say which of the tabloid's many stories on O.J. Simpson he was referring to but this was one of the most high-profile stories it ran raising questions over how truthful his murder defense was

On her Twitter page, Carpenter retweeted a show of support from prominent conservative pundit, who's also on CNN, Mary Katherine Ham.
'I am so with you, Amanda Carpenter & all the other women Trump & supporters casually smear,' Ham wrote, including a block quote of Carpenter defending herself against Cohen on CNN.
Cruz also railed against the story on his Facebook page.
'I want to be crystal clear: these attacks are garbage. For Donald J. Trumpto enlist his friends at the National Enquirer and his political henchmen to do his bidding shows you that there is no low Donald won’t go,' he wrote.
'These smears are completely false, they’re offensive to Heidi and me, they’re offensive to our daughters, and they’re offensive to everyone Donald continues to personally attack, he continued.
'Donald Trump’s consistently disgraceful behavior is beneath the office we are seeking and we are not going to follow,' he added.
The original Enquirer story, which doesn't appear online, but has been picked up by gossip sites like Gawker, says that political operatives are compiling a 'dirt file' on Cruz with private investigators looking into claims that he had affairs with a who's who of Republican party politics – as well as a 'sexy Austin schoolteacher' and a 'Washington, D.C. call girl.'


Besides Pierson and Carpenter, the third political type worked for a different presidential campaign, which has now aligned itself with Cruz.
The only on-the-record source for the story is Roger Stone, a longtime Trump ally who previously worked for the campaign.
'These stories have been swirling around Cruz for some time,' Stone told the tabloid. 'I believe where there is smoke, there is fire. I have to believe that this will hurt him with his evangelical Christian supporters.'
The attack on the credibility of Cruz's marriage comes at an interesting time in the campaign as he has spent the week vehemently defending his wife.
Once Trump saw the ad featuring naked Melania, he unleashed on Cruz, even though the spot was produced by Mair's super PAC.
In his most bold defense of Heidi Cruz yet, the candidate tore into The Donald during a campaign stop yesterday in Wisconsin.
'Donald, you're a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone,' Cruz said.
While lines seem to be drawn between the Cruz and Trump people in today's spat, Pierson squarely stayed on team Donald, ripping into Heidi Cruz this morning on MSNBC.
Pierson suggested that 'spilling the beans' on Heidi Cruz, a threat that Trump had issued over Twitter, was simply shedding light on her record of working for Wall Street.
'So spilling the beans on Heidi Cruz simply means that her her entire career has been spent working against everything Ted Cruz says he stands for,' Pierson said.

[h=3]THE ENQUIRER FIVE[/h]The National Enquirer accused Ted Cruz of five affairs - all of which he denied today.
It did not name the women but said they were:
'FOXY POLITICAL CONSULTANT'
One worked for Cruz, now associated with another political campaign, said the magazine.
'"Randy Ted" supposedly had a romp with her in a closet at a Republican state convention.''
'PRETTY LAWYER'
Worked for his Senate campaign when they had affair - and it continued as she worked elsewhere.
'HOT BABE'
Caught 'getting cozy' on the campaign trail.
'SEXY AUSTIN SCHOOLTEACHER'
Allegedly had 'fling' after he was made Texas solicitor general.
'$1,000 A NIGHT CALL GIRL'
'Ted supposedly had it on with a prostitute,' the magazine said.





[h=3]AND HERE'S WHAT THE MAGAZINE SAYS ABOUT CLAIMS IT WAS INFLUENCED BY TRUMP[/h]No one influences the reporting that the National Enquirer does other than our own reporters and editors.
We stand by the integrity of our coverage and remain committed to our aggressive reporting on such an important topic.
The more than any other publication, has been unflinching in its reporting on the 2016 presidential candidates.
Issued by AMI, Enquirer parent company, to the Hollywood Reporter

As the dust settles concerning the NE hit piece on Cruz things are clearing up:

1) It was a Rubio aide that was trying to peddle this info for almost a half a year to various publications

2) It was Liz Mair a political consultant now heading an anti-Trump superpac who placed
a racy photo of Trumps wife in a pro-Cruz Utah ad but she also exposed Katrina Peterson
& Amanda carpenter as Cruz lovers. Apparently she's on this planet to cause trouble.

3) Donald Trump is completely blameless having nothing to do with the mess Cruz is now embroiled in,
however I'm sure he isn't upset that its the news of the day.

4) Almost as bad for Cruz as the story in NE is the undeniable fact that Cruz 'jumps to conclusions'
and his conclusions almost always are far of the mark. Before the South Carolina primary Cruz
bellowed something like 'Now that the establishment has determined that Marco Rubio has
no chance at winning the nomination it's clear that the establishment is gravitating toward
Donald Trump' at that very moment the establishment was still in Rubio's corner and shortly
after the SC primary Rubio was still the favorite in the sportsbooks after a strong 2nd place finish.
Never & it's more obvious today that the establishment will back Trump, that statement was peculiar.
Now cruz is jumping to conclusions again in a hoppin mad diatribe his blamed Trump for the hitpiece.
Honestly the country would be in a terrible place in the unlikely event that someone like Cruz who
sizes up situations so poorly. Man could that lead to big problems in foreign affairs.

 

[SheriffJoe]

Drudge is all over this Cruz scandal...oh wait, no he isn't because this National Enquirer BS isn't remotely true.

Michael Savage and many other Trump backers aren't impressed.

David Pecker, National Enquirer CEO, is Trump's old buddy and already endorsed him, so the hottest trend on Twitter right now is:

#TrumpLovesPecker

If Cruz is so innocent why doesnt he sue the paper?....Think about it hes a Lawyer...

[h=6]- MARCH 25, 2016 -[/h][h=1]​DONALD J. TRUMP RESPONDS TO CRUZ ACCUSATIONS ON NATIONAL ENQUIRER STORY[/h]Donald J. Trump issued the following statement today on the National Enquirer Story:

"I have no idea whether or not the cover story about Ted Cruz in this week's issue of the National Enquirer is true or not, but I had absolutely nothing to do with it, did not know about it, and have not, as yet, read it. Likewise, I have nothing to do with the National Enquirer and unlike Lyin’ Ted Cruz I do not surround myself with political hacks and henchman and then pretend total innocence. Ted Cruz’s problem with the National Enquirer is his and his alone, and while they were right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards, and many others, I certainly hope they are not right about Lyin’ Ted Cruz. I look forward to spending the week in Wisconsin, winning the Republican nomination and ultimately the Presidency in order to Make America Great Again."
