RNC Chairman Reince Priebus Backs Trump On Linking Ted Cruz’s Father To Lee Harvey Oswald

The Hill reports:

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Sunday defended presidential nominee Donald Trump, who again linked Sen. Ted Cruz’s father to President Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald last week.

“He’s got a right to talk about whatever he wants to talk about, however, I don’t think he was every saying this was some of factual information,” Priebus said at a Sunday press conference in Philadelphia, according to the Washington Examiner.

“It was something he referred to. He’s talked about it, he’s gotten off from it. As far as I’m concerned we can move on from it.”

Meanwhile Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort says the entire renewed flap is Cruz’s fault for mentioning it on the day after Trump accepted the nomination.
