Trump accuses Cruz's father of helping JFK's assassin

By Nolan D. McCaskill

05/03/16 07:36 AM EDT

Donald Trump on Tuesday alleged that Ted Cruz’s father was with John F. Kennedy’s assassin shortly before he murdered the president, parroting a National Enquirer story claiming that Rafael Cruz was pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963.

A Cruz campaign spokesperson told the Miami Herald, which pointed out numerous flaws in the Enquirer story, that it was “another garbage story in a tabloid full of garbage.”

“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous,” Trump said Tuesday during a phone interview with Fox News. “What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it.”

“I mean, what was he doing — what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?” Trump continued. “It’s horrible.”

Trump’s tangent followed his rebuke of Rafael Cruz using the pulpit to court evangelicals for his son.

“I implore, I exhort every member of the body of Christ to vote according to the word of God and vote for the candidate that stands on the word of God and on the Constitution of the United States of America,” Rafael Cruz said in a video clip aired by Fox News. “And I am convinced that man is my son, Ted Cruz. The alternative could be the destruction of America.”

Asked to respond, Trump called it a disgrace. “I think it’s a disgrace that he’s allowed to do it. I think it’s a disgrace that he’s allowed to say it,” he said, before touting his support from Jerry Falwell Jr. and other evangelical leaders.

“You look at so many of the ministers that are backing me, and they’re backing me more so than they’re backing Cruz, and I’m winning the evangelical vote,” Trump continued. “It's disgraceful that his father can go out and do that. And just — and so many people are angry about it. And the evangelicals are angry about it, the way he does that.”

“But I think it's horrible,” he added. “I think it's absolutely horrible that a man can go and do that, what he's saying there.”

And Trump cavorts with Epstein and underage girls in sex camps. It's in a court filing, which is much more persuasive than the National Enquirer.

Trump says Cruz's father should not be ALLOWED to say what he's saying, yet Trump can accuse Rafael Cruz of palling around with Lee Harvey Oswald.

Donald Trump does not have the temperament to be president

Just one more in a tiresomely long list of reasons why Trump is unfit to be president.

In a sane world, this comment would be this type of moment for any candidate saying something so bizarre and outrageous:

I want to scream, so I will: LYING CON MAN DONALD J TRUMP

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS... (words fail me, and adjectives will get me banned) so fill in your own word description of Trump here: ________________.

He is not even the nominee, and by the Grace of GOD, he will not be.

Just projecting here that I AM ALREADY SICK AND TIRED OF HIS 4 YEARS and looking forward to 2020 or impeachment.

but know this...

don't blame me.

Trumpism voters make me want to

Words fail to describe my feelings but this will do:

I do not deserve 4 more years of Obama/Trump or Hellary........neither do you, neither does America.......but alas it can happen unless GOD has another plan and intercede for Cruz

CRUZ to VICTORY at the Convention, SIC 'EM Ted, never give up. Whatever you do, DO NOT HITCH yourself to being his VP, do not contaminate yourself. Remember you are know by the company you keep.
Do this

This is absurd. It means that Donny is either the stupidest man around or that he is smart and knows his supporters are dumb and will think this is a valid comment. Either way it shows what a genuine piece of garbage he is.

Apparently, one underrated benefit of Donald Trump saying such things on a daily basis is that he has quite effectively lowered the bar of outrage, so that nothing he says is any longer surprising, and perhaps more importantly, even looked forward to as a form of amusement.

Can't believe that Americans want to elect this conspiracy theorist. He's like his good friend Jesse Ventura. Create a conspiracy if there isn't any. This election makes me

Of course, I HAD to go and gape at it. They have pictures and everything!

At some point, one must simply mark that as a humor board; giving The Onion a run for their money with a Westboro Baptist spice.

Ted Cruz is creepy - he's about to break Carly's hand - just to get his on top of hers! I guess he believes that women should submit to men.

And where did Trump learn this technique?

Joseph Goebbels:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Trump learn the art of the LIE while still a very young jerk NOW TRUMP HAS MASTERED & PERFECTED THIS. How many years does it take for generations to forget? That generation has arrived, so tell me what our men and women of WWII died for?

NEVER TRUMP............EVER.

Trump is past creepy. He's a trojan horse who has duped a significant faction of the republican party.

Why don't you press him to release his most guarded secret.... The off the record NYT interview. Then let's see how good a candidate he is. Once unhinged, he will be Hitlerly Ver 2.0

Mechanicos · « **Reply #20 on:** May 03, 2016, 02:32:17 pm »

Conservatives should know better then to trust Political to tell the truth.

Trump said it was ridiculous.

““His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald’s being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous,” “

Where is ALL that he said, not just a select little bit?

They omitted where he called it ridiculous.

Talk about jumping the gun on bad info...

@AbaraXas

Oh goody! Here we go with the Goebbel's comparison!

I have a question for the Ted Cruz supporters - with all the insults, the over-blown hyperbole, the outright lies and distortions, the silly juvenile names and pictures, the exhortations to follow "God's will".......

......do you think you have changed one single mind?

......or does it just make your tantrums go down easier?

GO TRUMP!

Here's the full quote. As usual, it's unclear what point he is actually making.

“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous,” Trump said Tuesday during a phone interview with Fox News. “What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up.

Now what exactly is he calling ridiculous? Why is he complaining about "nobody brings it up."

Face facts: The man is a disaster and he's doing this deliberately to pave the way for Hillary.

*cringe*

I know this will be an extremely unpopular opinion here, but I'm about 90% sure Ted Cruz is a sociopath. Everything about him seems scripted and fake. He's just another crony fighting for the status quo; the right wing's Hillary Clinton.
