Trump Doubles-Down On “Rafael Cruz Helped Murder JFK” Claim: Ted Has Never Denied It [VIDEO]

Politico reports:



Wednesday morning, the Republican presidential front-runner — now the presumptive nominee — was back to his familial attack, suggesting that Cruz never denied that his father was pictured with John F. Kennedy’s assassin.

“All I was doing was referring to a picture that was reported and in a magazine and I think they didn’t deny it,” Trump said Wednesday during a phone interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “I don’t think anybody denied it. I don’t know what it was exactly, but it was a major story in a major publication and it was picked up by many other publications.”

Trump argued that the tabloid has “brought many things to light” and insisted that all he did was allude to the cover story. “I’m just referring to an article that appeared. I mean, it has nothing to do with me,” Trump said.

His attack on Cruz’s father began Tuesday in retaliation to the religious leader using his pulpit to urge evangelicals to vote for his son, suggesting that a President Trump could lead to the destruction of the country.

“You know, the father was very active in the campaign. He said some very nasty things about me in the morning,” Trump said Wednesday. “You know that. And it was reported. It wasn’t nice what he said about me. And I just referred him to articles that were in various periodicals.”
