Two days ago Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos and Allum Bokhari (the latter's twitter page linked up above) began teasing an "Explosive" Cruz scandal that was supposed to post imminently on Breitbart.com.
According to Allum Bokhari, it would reveal the 'true face' of Ted Cruz and would be "much worse" than the Ben Carson-fraud fiasco currently ongoing. When asked if it would destroy the Cruz campaign, Allum replied he "couldn't say for sure." When asked about the initial delay, he replied that Breitbart is being very careful with the information due to its seriousness, but that the "wait was worth it."
At first I thought maybe Allum and Milo were simply trolling their readership due to the silence for more than 24 hours, but it appears the article really is coming and is indeed quite serious. According to Allum the article was held up in editorial, and now updates his readers with the following:
Allum Bokhari â€@LibertarianBlue 2h Been told it's a few more days before we can drop the new Cruz goss. Nothing I can do :(
@6ae025af2132401 can't come out for a few days. My hands are tied, and not in the fun way. :(
Allum has been posting 1 or 2 stories a day with no such similar delays, so it appears Breitbart is holding onto the story till after the vote in New Hampshire, probably to avoid accusations of trying to influence the election.
Other than the tweets about it being an "explosive" scandal, Milo and Allum have been entirely mum on the contents of the story, and haven't responded to multiple questions regarding whether Breitbart editors like Ben Shapiro may be trying to suppress it. Nevertheless, there is no indication the story will not be breaking at this point.
The point of the wait is to make people actually think there is something.
There were some clues over there.
In between the public prayers, the calls for electrifying the body of Christ, the tales of sacrifice and sacred honor, and stating that he is the one true conservative, I can't find where Cruz has claimed to be lily white either.
The same Breitbart where every other opinion piece is pro Trump. You don’t say!!!!
Cruz is going to lose NH, regardless.
Best to wait until 3-4 days before SEC primary
for best effect.
I'm from NY. I saw the true face of uber-scumbag makes-Gordon-Gekko-look-like-a-Boy-Scout Donald Trump decades ago. The sleazoid hasn't changed his spots. Conservatives who vote for Trump even as he leers* at their wives are giving a whole new meaning to the neologism cuckservative.
* Given the Donald's self-confessed yen for married women.
It has already been viewed in Great Britain. I have a friend who has seen it. Not good.
Really no different than Glenn Beck...
That being said I am interested in what the big scandal will be.
You have not been reading Ben Shapiro's articles.
That looks like patty cake compared to what this story may be.
Breitbart creating hype to get people to their website and, hopefully click on their advertisers.
“Difference is Trump isn’t claiming to be lily white clean like cruz is.”
Give me a quote where Cruz claims that. I’ll wait.
I did my best to go through his tweets and his replies to folks. If you found any hints that I missed, please include them, as I’m eager to know.
Yeah they get the Lilly white stuff from the Dhimmicrats when they talk about republicans. They’d rather have trump push Obama care.
Trump does an awesome job of that himself...he does t need help from the BBC. :)
If it appears on Breitbart, it will hurt Cruz badly. Breitbart has generally protected Cruz from harm and have been reluctant to post anti-Cruz information. They have a very wide readership and a relationship with Matt Drudge as well, guaranteeing it will appear on Drudge as well.
... Timing matters ... Burn Bush first!
They have a ton of dirt on Trump - if he wins the primary, they will destroy him...
