The National Enquirer published a story this week accusing Texas Senator Ted Cruz of multiple extramarital affairs.
On Friday Ted Cruz blamed Donald Trump and his former consultant Roger Stone for the National Enquirer article on his alleged extramarital affairs.
Ted Cruz Cruz told reporters in Wisconsin the story was “all lies.” Cruz then went on to blame the article on Donald Trump and his “henchmen.” Cruz argued Roger Stone has been forwarding the article today on the internet. He thinks Trump campaign is behind this story. Cruz also said the publisher of the National Enquirer is a friend of Donald Trump’s.
But these rumors did not start with Donald Trump.
And the rumors did not start with Roger Stone.
** The rumors were started by the Rubio Campaign and anti-Trump GOP elites.
Roger Stone tweeted about the scandal on Friday after the National Enquirer published its report.
Stone says all of the liberal media outlets were investigating the rumors.
Now Lyin' Ted is even lyin' about me. Not a single MSM outlet who hasn't been investigating #CruzSexScandal

Obviously, Roger Stone believes there is some truth to the rumors.
I continue to be impressed with @tedcruz uncanny ability to lie with a straight face #Cruzsexscandal
