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.
“What’s the controversy?”
It’s all part of the left-wing conspiracy from ‘rats, the media, and the RINOs to have a all out campaign to vilify Cruz.
The issues are not important...
“Because around here, it’s take evil Cruz down at ALL costs. Forget honesty. Forget integrity. Forget the truth. The only person I’ve seen Freepers foam at the mouth as much to take down, is Obama.”
You got it.
It’s all part of the left-wing conspiracy from ‘rats, the media, and the RINOs to have a all out campaign to vilify Cruz.
Really pathetic, people.
No we want the RINOs splitting their votes!!! Let bush stay in, he’s hitting Rubio
She’s completely normal.
Are you a RINO?
McConnell?
Boehner?
You do know this is a site for CONSERVATIVES?
What about Dan Gabriel?
Are you sure that’s not a hoax account. I see nothing on his official account
So news outlets tweeting are to be trusted?
That site is run by A&E Networks. I don’t think Cruz has any control over what they put on their site. If they were posing false information, maybe. But whether or not they list his astrological sign? You are getting desperate, dude.
Calm down; just because most Freepers favor Trump, as seen in the caucus threads, doesn’t mean you’re not conservative anymore.
And he’s a Capricorn, anyway, not a Sag.
Well, I have to say, as a cruz supporter, that story is very disappointing. I mean I’m really, what the heck was he thinking?
I’m seriously questioning his judgement now.
I mean his FASHION judgement.... WHO WEARS A PAISLEY BATHROBE?
I guess it’s a good thing he’s not running for editor of Vogue Magazine. And if he ever does, don’t you worry, his roommate will be there to dish all this dirt and squash all is chances.
Then stop tearing down a guy who IS a Conservative.
Let’s try and talk about the issues.
Why are you constantly trying to tear him down?
There isn’t much about Trump that isn’t already known. Right now, I don’t want a “nice guy”, I want someone who can kick ass, who is capable of being nice at times.
My son’s coach gathers his team together every practice and Game and he publicly prays with them.
When a family member had surgery recently, my brother gathered the family and friends in the waiting room and prayed publicly.
Many times, George Washington prayed publicly.
The captain of our local firehouse gathers the firefighters before every shift and they pray publicly. They pray about the task before them, safety, and the Nation in general.
Our Congress has public prayer.
My friends husband returned from Afghanistan last year where he and his troop publicly prayed before every mission.
How is that different from a candidate publicly praying with his campaign team? Or do you think they’re all self righteous jerks? I want a candidate who seeks direction from a higher source than himself.
“I want a candidate who seeks direction from a higher source than himself.”
Amen. So do I.
We see what godlessness has gotten us the last 7 years.
Well, Cruz campaign trusted a CNN tweet. Or you just pick and choose as it suits? And about that honesty, integrity thing...just as long as you can still pull a couple dirty tricks, right?
Are you aware that the Rubio camp was pushing the exact same Carson rumor as the Cruz campaign, except that they said, ....vote for Rubio.
The Cruz campaign passed along what CNN was reporting.
They gonna get scooped.
