A CNN debate between a Donald Trump supporter and former Ted Cruz communications director Amanda Carpenter went off the rails Friday when the Trump supporter suddenly accused Carpenter of having an illicit affair with her former boss.
CNN's Kate Bolduan was hosting a segment on the feud between Trump and Ted Cruz. "Are you ready for Trump to move on?" she asked Boston Herald columnist Adriana Cohen.
"Oh, absolutely I think we should move on," she responded. "Where we should move to is The National Enquirer story that has reported that has Ted Cruz has had affairs with five mistresses, including you've been named as well, Amanda."
"I don't think that's 'moving on' at all, Adriana," an exasperated Bolduan interrupted.
"If we're going call Donald Trump's character into question, I would like Ted Cruz to issue a statement whether or not the National Enquirer story is true, that he has had affairs with many women, including you were named, Amanda," Cohen repeated. "Will you denounce this story or will you confirm it?"
Bolduan stepped in to make it clear that CNN wasn't supporting the Enquirer report. "It will come as no surprise to our viewers, CNN has no reporting on what you're talking about coming from from The National Enquirer," she deadpanned.
Carpenter kept her composure pretty well, considering the circumstances. "What's out there is tabloid trash. If someone wants to comment on it, they can talk to my lawyer," she responded.
"It's categorically fault," she continued angrily. "You should be ashamed for spreading this smut. Donald Trump supporters should be held to account for it."
"I'm not spreading smut," Cohen responded.
"I will not be intimidated," Carpenter shot back. "I will continue to make my thoughts known about Donald Trump. I'm not backing down."
RCP average has Trump ahead by 5.
I wish that gal that outed Amanda would have asked her, so what is your lawyer's name... I fully expect that Amanda would have said Ted Cruz.
So did John Edwards.
“If any of this story is true about Ted Cruz, he should run as a Democrat. Look what philandering did for Bubba Clinton.”
Or a Republican like the South Carolina governor who is now a congressman
Is Amanda the one who blacklisted Trump supporters?
He has come out against these claims, I guess you were just too busy with your military duties to notice. Maybe you should spend a few minutes catching up on the day’s events before you post.
Red Steel, after analyzing the above carefully, opines,
"I see Carpenter did not deny the story."
"….did not deny….." You can't make this stuff up. Trump Fever will eat your brain.
I popped over to # the thing....it’s interesting, but it looks like a lot of speculations.....
If Brietbart knows Ted is guilty of the affair/affairs....shame on them for not telling.
Well done! LOL!!
Yes...
Cruz better have some hard proof, since he shot off his mouth blaming Trump.
Sounds more like deflection to me.
Rumors have been there for years. Maybe you should fully vet your candidate before you blindly follow him

How about sexual relations?”
Close but no cigar!
Amanda Carpenter is married.
That episode was over 10 years ago. What else you got?
Come on! That was too easy. LOL
Cruz argued 9 cases before the court and won 2. Lost 5 and the other 2 were a mixed bag.
Yes, face book has pictures of husband and 2 kids.
Amanda Carpenter is married.
