There's something initially angering that becomes very sad when a fraud is revealed. Tonight on his radio show Mark Levin was forced to admit the son of his fiancee is a full time staffer for Senator Ted Cruz.
After spending weeks attacking anyone who critiques candidate Ted Cruz, the motives of Mark Levin now take full sunlight. He should be ashamed, VERY ashamed.
No, Mr. crony-constitutionalist, lying by omission is not the least bit funny. Nor is deception toward your audience when you do not disclose your own conflicts. Especially when we consider the hours Levin spends railing against the internecine family associations like George Will and his wife working for Scott Walker.
Crony politics is apparently alive and well amid the Mark Levin radio show. Perhaps he will tell the audience how much advertising money he takes from political campaigns? Or more specifically entities with a vested interest in political campaigns?
Think he'll fess up now that he's busted?
Nah, me neither.
He's got another book to sell...
Wow. Just Wow.
The campaign of Donald Trump continues to expose the "Decepticons".
Simple disclosure prevents this. And... If it’s a nothing burger, why is Levin upset at all?
No, the idea that there is some kind of conflict of interest, and that somebody spent time doing it for political reasons, is stunningly stupid.
Why are you bringing Sanders into the discussion? I want to know why the fact that his fiancée’s son is on Ted Cruz’s staff hurts Mark. Has he changed his views all of a sudden? I don’t think so.
And Cruz supported him wholeheartedly...That's another one of the things that is scary about Cruz...One more Roberts and we can hang it up...I'm not so sure I want Cruz picking Judges...

This is why it scares me because should the day come we should ever be invaded half the population would welcome them with open arms
Levin has been trashing Trump in a backhanded fashion for weeks. I have wondered why. Now I know.
It may look that way to some but if he were to come out and say his potential adult stepson worked for Cruz then he would be discredited by some anyway. There is no way he can be seen as some as objective for something he has no control. I find it funny that Mary Matalin has credibility being MARRIED to James Carville. Also if you listen to Levin he was very supportive of Trump until he started this birther thing against Cruz. Also the nobody likes Cruz because he is a nasty man. I live in New York State and my congressman is Katko and if he and Long Island Congressman Peter King don’t like Cruz I can’t think of a better reason to like Cruz.
In my opinion, there are two elements at work here, those don’t care what is going on but like it and others who do and it’s scaring them them to death.
The ones who are scared is because he won’t take their money and the others are happy as hell that he doesn’t.
It’s a whole unprecedented dynamic he has created and the grassroots are flocking to it.
Now days conservative means Republican...And Republican in Congress means GOPe...
It’s the primaries, folks!
You’re right. I don’t know why anyone gives credence to the smear-generating pseudo-author who goes by the name “Sundance.”
The problem with your logic is that Levin’s Fiance’s son is a staffer on the senate side, not the campaign (presidential or otherwise).
He didn’t say to lay off, he said to stop with the personal insults and to stop attacking from the left. I agree. Trump should start talking about himself and just how he intends to accomplish all of the things he said he will do. Leave this scorched earth policy to the likes of Hill and Bern.
What in the hell are you talking about?
My mother couldn’t understand Levin’s flip-flopping. Once she learned that he had a conflict of interest, she got where that was coming from.
Why would he offer $5000 to out the person? It makes no sense since he should have done it himself. This makes it seem more like he wanted it in the shadows as he PROCLAIMED Cruz eligible to run.
Post after post after post on this site said Cruz was eligible to run because Levin said so...OOPS.
So what? Would you make the same claim about HIllary if it was a staffer for her Foundation versus staffer for President, etc. It’s a soon to be close relative who is an operative of Cruz.
And why the heck offer a $5000 reward for something he should have been willing to disclose.
“Can anybody explain to me how this affects his credibility?”
Pretty basic. It’s a blatant Conflict of Interest. If Cruz succeeds, then Levin’s family stands to gain financially.
Always loved Limbaugh. Still do. (Except when he talks football.)
Kowtowing to “A fiancee’s son” is an incredibly silly charge.
