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".
End of story.
Now more importantly, about Trump's conflicts of interest, I could think of many possibilities.
I know such things concern you.
Has Trump mentioned any?
Is Cruz the Conservative in the race?
Nothing other than his words bear that out. Why the cozy relationship with Goldman Sachs? Why is his wife on the CFW and not him? Why doesn’t he come clean on the NBC or stop Obama’s free trade bill?
The closer you look the less there is to see. Sorry I forgot, he is a saint.
I have no doubt Trump will get the wall up.
But when the legalization amnesty comes for millions, and then eventually the citizenship amnesty, I will blame Trump supporters.
yep...beck went away at my hose months ago!
He doesn’t work for Cruz’s campaign. He is a senate staff member. If you are going to smear a great man like Levin, get your facts straight.
The enemy is on the left, not the right.
What difference does it make? I have lots of relatives. What they do for a living certainly doesn’t affect my judgment. This smear on Levin is just way over the top. It is beginning to look like anyone who dares to criticize THE ONE gets investigated and smeared.
Do we want a person like the person who is trying to either blackmail or smear Mark Levin running the Justice department or the IRS?
Mark Levin is a great American. The people who would smear him? Not so much IMHO.
Nothing other than his words bear that out. Why the cozy relationship with Goldman Sachs? Why is his wife on the CFW and not him? Why doesn’t he come clean on the NBC or stop Obama’s free trade bill?
Sorry I forgot, he is a saint.
Thanks for strawman fallacy. I never said Cruz was a "saint". I've criticized Cruz on his TPA vote and his Iran vote. Your other criticisms are off.
About Trump, there is a long list of things he's not conservative about.
Shall I post them? It's only been pointed out numerous times.
Sorry, Trump is a populist.
One profile I read said Levin married his girlfriend Kendell after their alleged affair became known.
How many times has Levin been married?
Simple disclosure prevents this. And... If it’s a nothing burger, why is Levin upset at all?
Probably because Levin’s connection to Cruz is what got the kid the job. Senate staffer is about the most prized job in DC for a young person. It’s practically drawing a straight flush to land a gig like that. Very, very difficult.
Those who refuse to fawn aufficiently over Trump shall be excoriated!
Those who actively criticize Our Beloved Leader and speak the truth about him shall be cast into outer darkness!
LOL, it’s reached the point of hilarity. Respected Constitutional scholar Mark Levin is now a loser and a moron because he came out against the bloviating, crooked, gasbag reality-show fraud and huckster.
Exactly what are they supposed to be smearing or blackmailing Levin with? Is it the simple fact that his fiance's son is a senate staffer for Cruz?
Have I missed something? Levin seems to be making this out to be an uncovering of a deep dark family secret.
Yep. Tells me exactly which side I need to be on.
Otherwise I’m voting against myself.
No more what? Truth?
Truth IS hard to take when one is carried away with emotion.
People keep saying this, but if he has a fiancee, it's pretty obvious he isn't married anymore, isn't it?
I guess he didn't feel the need to tell the world about his divorce.
What a strangely written profile you linked to. Now I know that Levin “is not gay at all.”
My only curiosity is when he mentions on air “my beloved Julie.” I never figured out who she is.
This is not a smear. This is simple professional expectation. The same way they expect a minister to give a fair explanation of a controversial doctrine, or the way they expect a lawyer to give a fair nod to differences of opinion about arcane law, they expect fair disclosure from a broadcaster when he has a personal interest in an outcome.
It’s not much to ask.
“Hi, I’m Mark Levin. My fiancée’s son is a part of the Cruz campaign. Take that into account when I give you my opinion on others. I don’t think I’m unfairly influenced, but you need to know it.”
How is that bad?
I apologize for my over the top post.
The fact is that you support a candidate who has only changed his views on partial birth abortion for this campaign. I consider that vile.
The son of his fiancee is a “family member”?
Stop twisting the truth.
Ted Cruz couldn’t qualify for President Republic of Texas.
Levin received a tip that he was being investigated. Levin was the one that revealed the relationship.
Who is possible future step son works for is irrelevant. What is relevant is that one of the campaigns was trying to intimidate him.
If that doesn’t disturb you then I don’t know what to say.
