Trump revives linking Cruz’s dad to JFK assassination

Posted by | July 22, 2016 19:11 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Donald Trump continues the conspiracy talk about Rafael Cruz being present when President Kennedy was assassinated.

“I don’t know his father. I met him once. I think he’s a lovely guy,” Trump said at a morning-after rally in Cleveland. “All I did is point out the fact that on the cover of the National Enquirer there was a picture of him and crazy Lee Harvey Oswald having breakfast.”

Trump invoked Cruz’s father during an extended screed against the Texas senator for failing to endorse him during the convention. While Trump and Cruz were primary rivals in May, Trump initially pointed out an Enquirer story which featured Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald while handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963.

    If they don’t fall for your lies the first time, keep repeating them, only louder.

    Much as I detest everyone mentioned in this story and think any of them are capable of any despicable act you can imagine, I just can’t bring myself to accept The National Enquirer as the proof needed to stick this story to anyone.

      too funny, an idiot who thinks they should get the Pulitzer. and he said that sh!t out loud on National TV. are you kidding me? that was the best thing ever. that’s why i say let him keep talking. NO ONE and i mean NO ONE can stop this blow hole from opening his mouth. he’s the gift that keeps on giving. i don’t know for the life of me, how anyone at fox lies can look in the mirror before going on live, to talk about how smart he is and have to be serious.

    He loves to stir up crap that should of died a long time ago. He does not benefit from this at all, how can anyone, with a straight face, claim he has any sense?

      He just Loves stirring things up. It makes him look like he is doing something.

      Trump is childishly vindictive. Someone does something he doesn’t like he attacks and tries to destroy that person.

      This smear tactic aimed at Cruz’ father is just one example. His attack on the “Mexican” judge is another.

      Do we really want someone like him to have the nuclear launch codes?

        I would not want him to pick up puppy poop at the park, I want him to be locked away in his penthouse of 5th Ave. and never have to see him again.

    Still bitter huh Ted?. I know I would be. After all God himself told you to run for president.

    But, Oswald was in Cuba during the time Raphael Cruz was working for Fidel IIRC. So they may well have met. I don’t recall Trump saying the Cruz helped or aided Oswald in anyway.

    Correct me if I’m wrong.

  11. Dwendt44 July 23rd, 2016 at 13:23

    Raphael and Oswald were in Texas at the same time. They could have met in a social setting, with Oswald trying to get to know some Cubans locally. I don’t recall T rump actually saying the Cruz helped or aided Oswald in anyway. Correct my if I’m wrong.

      tRump isn’t saying anything other than he won’t say they (enquirer) could be wrong. hell, he wants them to receive the Pulitzer. other than that, i couldn’t give a darn to be honest. i can’t despise either one of them anymore than i already do.
