Ted Cruz Sex Scandal
Sex scandal rocks Ted Cruz campaign
The internet is agog over the snowballing report of an alleged sex scandal involving Senator Ted Cruz, who is politically immersed in a game of catching up with Republican front runner, Donald Trump.
Ted Cruz is the target of sex scandal rumors after sources claimed he cheated on his wife Heidi with at least five different women, including a hooker and former co-workers Amanda Carpenter and Katrina Pierson.
Although the story is yet to be picked up by Americaâs mainstream media, such as The New York Times or the Washington Post, it is being spread by obviously âTrump supportersâ, who felt that the scandal may be the machine gun needed to ruin Cruzâs political career and his chances to offer Trump a challenge to the Republican nomination.
Ted Cruz sex scandal follows Melania Trump slut shaming: Ted had 5 affairs
The National Enquirer, the US scandal magazine claims that Cruz had affairs with five women, including having sex with one of them in a closet.
Trending with the hashtag, #CruzsexScandal, it is suspected that it may be the handiwork of Trumpâs or Kasich supporters who may want to derail his claim for the presidential ticket in November.
There is no reaction yet from Cruz and his team and no candidate has made a remark of it.
The spreading scandal comes amidst a feud between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz over their spouses, with Cruz calling Trump âa sniveling cowardâ for threatening his wife on Twitter.
The senator from Texas also sharpened his attacks on Trumpâs conservative credentials, linking the brash billionaire to disgraced New York politicians Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner.
Cruz continued bashing Trump for making Cruzâs wife, Heidi, a target of social-media barbs.
âI have to say, seeing him go deeper and deeper into the gutter, itâs not easy to tick me off,â Cruz said at a news conference while campaigning in Dane, Wisconsin. âBut you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, itâll do it every time.
âDonald, youâre a sniveling coward,â Cruz said. âLeave Heidi the hell alone.â
Cruzâs remarks were the latest burst of hostility between the two camps, which earlier this week erupted into full view when Trump accused Cruz of posting a nude photo of Melania Trump on Twitter. Trump responded by threatening to âspill the beansâ on Cruzâs wife, Heidi.
Cruz denied having anything to do with the image, which was part of an attack by an anti-Trump Super PAC, Make America Awesome.
âDonald, real men donât attack women. Your wife is lovely, and Heidi is the love of my life,â Cruz said in a post on Twitter earlier on Thursday.
Cruzâs tweet followed one moments earlier by Trump in which he retweeted an image featuring a less-than-flattering picture of Heidi Cruz juxtaposed with a glamorous photo of Melania.
The back-and-forth was too much for Senator Lindsey Graham, a former presidential candidate, who blasted both men in an interview on NBCâs âTodayâ show on Thursday.
âTalk about things that people really care about, and knock this crap off because these are serious times, and youâre not behaving like you want to be president of the United States,â he said.
For Trump, attacking another candidateâs wife may carry some political risks.
Half of U.S. women say they have a âvery unfavorableâ view of the billionaire businessman, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling in March.
Cruz fared better, with 24 percent of the 5,000 women surveyed saying they had a âvery unfavorableâ view of him.
The Democratic front-runner, Hillary Clinton, did worse than Cruz but better than Trump, with 36 percent of women polled saying they had a âvery unfavorableâ view of her. The poll had a credibility interval of 2 percentage points.
How we wish we are a part of the ongoing political mudslinging …?
