Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday slammed rival Ted Cruz for the recent ad produced by an anti-Trump super-PAC featuring a photo of Trump's wife posing nude.
"From what I hear, he and his campaign went out and bought the cover shoot. Melania did a cover story for 'GQ,' a very strong modeling picture. No big deal," Trump said on ABC's "This Week."
"But it was a cover story for 'GQ,' a big magazine. And it was, you know, fine. And from what I hear, somebody bought the rights to it and he was the one or his campaign bought the rights and they gave it to the super PAC."
Trump said Cruz knew about the ad, adding he started the latest fight between the two. Last week, Trump threatened to "spill the beans" on Cruz's wife in response to the ad featuring Melania Trump. He then shared a tweet featuring a photo of his wife next to a photo of Cruz's wife, stating, "A picture is worth a thousands words."
Cruz has denied knowing anything about the ad, and called it deplorable on Sunday.
But Trump said the super PAC that produced the ad is "very friendly to Ted Cruz."
"He knew all about it, 100 percent," he said.
"There's no way in a million years that super PAC did that without his absolute knowledge."
WOW! Cruz is even more sleazy than I expected.
There it is.
Lyin’ Ted.
Creating Monday’s news cycle ...
“From what I hear, he and his campaign went out and bought the cover shoot”
Liz Mair has been connected to the Cruz campaign in the past. Is she not the one who went to the Carly campaign along with the $500K? I am going to need a score card.
So this “bought rights to the picture” went from an obscure blog to the Donald himself mentioning it...
A PAC would not dare run a “copyrighted photo” without paying for permission and the fingerprints will go right back to the Cruz campaign and his campaign manager I would be willing to bet dollars to donuts...
Freegards
PING
Lying Ted. Trump sure has a way of seeing through people...
Ms “no stamina” is next.
This need to be posted on every vanity for Cruz threads.
Jeff Roe Teds campaign manager bought the rights from GQ. If Ted didn’t know he should have
Ted Cruz: The politics of deflection.
That's what I'm looking for, is confirmation of that. I've seen tweets and FR posts, but nothing firm. Of course, now that Trump himself said it, maybe there will be confirmation from some source. Maybe someone here will have the link to something firm. By now it may be out there for all I know, I just haven't seen it.
Yep, busTED!
Lyin’ Ted aka Ted Scruz!
Well, we don’t buy rights here, we just post. Lol. Not that we want to get JimRob into any trouble.
“Our Principles PAC” who bought the ad:
Total For Democrats: $0
Total Against Democrats: $0
Total For Republicans: $0
Total Against Republicans: $13,999,698
The group, which is called Our Principles PAC, is founded by Katie Packer, a veteran Republican strategist who served as deputy campaign manager on Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.
are you losing it altogether? he put a picture of his wife next to Ted’s wife with the caption “ a picture is worth a thousand words”
and you don’t thin that is going to DESTROY us with women?
