Donald Trumps campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, said in a radio interview on Tuesday that Ted Cruzs campaign was not involved in an attack ad on Trumps wife, Melania. Lewandowskis comments contradict his own candidates repeated claims the Cruz campaign was responsible.
Lewandowski made the comments on the John Fredericks Show, where he denied the Trump campaign had any involvement with a National Enquirer story alleging Cruz had affairs with five different women. Roger Stone, a long time Trump aide who is no longer affiliated with the campaign, was quoted in the story.
I have no control over what Roger Stone does, doesnt work for the campaign. Hes an independent individual who has no relationship with the campaign in any way, shape, or form, said Lewandowski. For them to intimate otherwise is completely inaccurate and its a narrative that they want to continue to perpetuate.
The bottom line is Roger Stone is as much tied to this campaign as the super PAC that leaked that is tied to the Cruz campaign.
In the days leading up to the Utah caucuses, an anti-Trump super PAC released a Facebook ad featuring a nude photo of Melania Trump. Trump has blamed Ted Cruz and his campaign for the ad, despite no evidence linking the campaign to it.
No, everybody knows he sent it out, Trump told Anderson Cooper on Tuesday, claiming Cruz broke federal election law to be involved in $300 Facebook ad from the anti-Trump super PAC Make America Awesome.
He knew the people in the super PAC. He knew I would be willing to bet he wrote the phrase. Lewandowski said earlier in the radio interview on Tuesday that Stone was no longer involved with the campaign, and for Cruz to claim otherwise was just like the Trump campaign saying the super PAC was coordinating with Cruz.
To be clear, Roger Stone is someone who does not work for the campaign. He was a consultant to the campaign up until August of last year and then Ive had no communication with Roger Stone until August of last year, said Lewandowski. For the Cruz campaign to equate that Roger Stone is part of this campaign is akin to us saying the super PAC that put out the pictures of Melania Trump is part of their campaign.
Now, they can deny that, and they can say that they have no communication, but the two are exactly equal. At a CNN town hall on Tuesday, Cruz noted the only person cited in the discredited story was Stone.
The story, on its face, quoted one person on the record: Roger Stone, Cruz said. Roger Stone has been Donald Trumps chief political adviser. He planned and ran his presidential campaign and hes been his hatchet man hes spent 40 years as a hatchet man.
your headlines misleading that’s not what he said
I can’t change the headline. Please read the contents.
First this is a misleading headline and second the quote from Roger Stone in the Enquirer story was completely innocuous.
The dAmage has already been done. Objective achieved
Should be taken down - totally misleading on a very major issue.
At the top of the article, it quotes Lwandosky thusly:
The bottom line is Roger Stone is as much tied to this campaign as the super PAC that leaked that is tied to the Cruz campaign.
So, how’s the headline misleading?

I read maybe 30 percent at the link :)
sometimes it really changes my thought of the article title.
sometimes not.
You’re kidding right? He said nothing of the. Kind.
You Cruz people never ever run out of shame.
It is not at all what he said.
That is not the same as what the headline says. I still find it misleading. Sorry. I thought we had some new development here.
Reading the actual article and what Lewandowsky said about Stone points out the blatant double standard coming from the Trump campaign, and even his supporters.
The headline says that something was said then the story does not quote anyone saying it.
Huh???
“You Cruz people never ever run out of shame.
It is not at all what he said.”
So Trump’s campaign manager is lying?
I don’t see what the fuss is about, the headline is what Buzzfeed put out. If someone doesn’t like it, take it up with them.
I do believe Roger Stone when he says IF he’d been doing these things they would have been done so well no one would have known of his involvement.
The media and establishment folk have shrugged off all ties to honesty in their pursuit of Trump. You can hardly find an honest article these days, they twist people’s words, make-up stuff as needed, etc.
lol.
if they all opened really quickly and easily, I would do a lot more.
but sometimes they blast my laptop!
