Trump's son blasts 'disgusting' Cruz over Melania ad: 'It's sick he did that'
The Washington Examiner ^ | 3/22/2016 | Gabby Morrongiello

Donald Trump's son, Eric, blasted Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday over an ad released by an anti-Trump PAC that takes aim at Trump's third wife.

The ad of a scantily clad Melania Trump was circulated in Utah by Make America Awesome PAC, which is not affiliated with the Cruz campaign. But that didn't stop Trump from linking Cruz to the ad on Twitter Tuesday night and threatening to "spill the beans" on the Texas senator's wife, Heidi.

"I noticed this morning ... Ted Cruz is saying things about Melania, and your father fired back," Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt told Eric Trump during an interview Wednesday morning.

Trump responded with the suggestion that Cruz's "super PAC is him" and continued to blast his father's opponent.

"I think it's disgusting to tell you the truth," he told the trio of "Fox & Friends" hosts. "Just to be completely honest, here's a man who praises — he's always talking about morality, I'm going to take the high road, and yet he does that."

"I mean, that's the sick part of politics," Trump said, adding that his stepmother is "an amazing woman."

He continued, "She's solid as a rock. She's an amazing mother. It's sick that [Cruz] did that."

How do you hide behind a PAC that doesn’t represent your campaign?

The first thing Cruz did when he found out about this PAC ad was call Trump and show his empathy for the picture ad mess. Cruz then went on National TV and disavowed that nasty little PAC. Cruz then laid down the law and said wives and family are off limits.

Oh, Cruz has done none of those things. My bad.

BTW, I have a bridge in a swamp for sale. Are you interested?

Today, Byron York refuted the lie put out by lyin’ Ted that Trump wanted to pull out of NATO. I was confused yesterday when Cruz said that because it’s not what I thought he had said. Cruz, like Hillary, Bernie & Obama, thinks people are stupid and easily swallow lies. We don’t. We keep track of them.

Did Cruz denounce the ad? No.

He only said it wasn’t his fault.

Neither has Kasich. Does that make his family fair game now too?

The Trump Tweet rebuttal.

Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!

Well the only person who has a right to complain is the person who was smeared, which would be Melania. She is above the fray.
But Cruz can’t complain if his wife is smeared, after all, he hasn’t spoken out against that tactic has he? He hasn’t condemned the ad, so if it’s ok to smear Melania then it’s ok to smear Heidi.

Cruz has crossed the line this time by not demanding that the PAC immediately pull this ad and issuing an apology to Melania.

They have opened a can of Trump Whoop-Ass and the ad is going to ultimately hurt Cruz more than Trump.

Cruz isn’t exactly pure as the new driven snow so there is plenty of meat for Trump to get his teeth into.

So we are all supposed to be outraged over a beautiful woman (who was a model by the way) posing for pictures, and not outraged at a state in which Mormons practice polygamy having 8 wives and 44 kids? Sure.

It wasn’t the use of the photos. It was the mis-use of the photos. Did you actually see the ad? Are you that disingenuous? You must think it’s ok to smear the wives of the candidates. Cruz hasn’t condemned it and neither have you.

Some values.

“He hasn’t condemned the ad, so if it’s ok to smear Melania then it’s ok to smear Heidi.”

Does that apply to Kasich and his wife also? Or is this just a smear job against Cruz?

“.. Make America Awesome PAC, which is not affiliated with the Cruz campaign...”

It isn’t just out there floating along on air...

Thanks for the link. Trump’s son is a stand up guy, like his Dad.

The fact that Ted Cruz has not publicly condemned this garbage is at the very least a character reveal which is anything but Christian. And this says tons about those who continue to defend him.

I didn’t post the ad either but I can condemn it in the strongest terms. Smearing a candidate’s wife is not cool.

Can you condemn it? If not, why not? Can Cruz condemn it? If not, why not? If it’s ok to smear one candidate’s wife, it’s ok to smear them all.

Cruz didn’t speak against the smear. Not one word. I don’t care who put the ad out.
