Michael Savage threatens to WITHDRAW SUPPORT from Trump over National Enquirer smear


Michael Savage said today on his radio show that the National Enquirer story smearing Ted Cruz is completely false, and he knows this based on a source he says he would trust with his life. Savage points out that Cruz is rightly offended over this utter garbage.

CNN was reporting the information on air and Twitter. Cruz's campaign staff were forwarding what had been said on CNN. This has been debunked by everyone but Trump.

"Make America Awesome" isn't affiliated with the Cruz campaign. It would be a violation of campaign laws if it worked with him on the ad.

Say you decide to run for office and someone who likes your ideas forms a PAC and runs an ad which is terrible and which you wouldn't approve. Your claim above means you are at fault. Even though it wasn't your campaign which made it, nor was it approved by you.

The people solely responsible for that ad are the people who lead "Make America Awesome." Not Ted Cruz. Not Cruz's campaign.

To be accurate, Trump re-tweeted someone else's tweet. But yes, he's still a jerk for doing so.

As of yet, Ted Cruz doesn't want to get in the mud with Donald on this and have it the center of his campaign, so he is going about discussing issues as that is what the people want to hear. We can't stop and sue Donald for every outrageous thing he says or does. It is Donald's intention to take the people's eyes off his weakness involved the issues. Roll on, Ted!

https://www.facebook.com/CourageousC...esPAC/?fref=nf

OK ‪#‎CruzCrew‬, you're going to want to SHARE/RT this detailed analysis of the ridiculous Enquirer piece. Here's our findings...

Despite using salacious words and phrases including "hooker", "romps", "dirt file", "sex-in-closet" and "prostitutes" they're all qualified with the words "claims", "supposedly", "rumor", "appears", "reportedly", "purportedly", "said to be", "alleged" and "may have" over and over.

The carefully written article does not state anything as fact but merely repeats unverified "claims" made by "a source."

And the three sources for the "news" story are "top political consultant" Roger Stone, who last won an election in 1988, a website called "The Political Insider" that was just formed and whose only "news story" was the one cited in the Enquirer, and a video from "Anonymous" claiming to "have video" alleging "dirty secrets" about Cruz.

We're not going to repeat the ridiculous allegations, but instead will discuss the weasel lawyer words used in each one to avoid libel to show how thin this all is.

#1: "rumors" (twice), "supposedly" -- SOURCE: "a snitch."

#2: "may have", "alleged" -- SOURCE: "a source."

#3: "apparently" -- SOURCE: "another snitch", "the source."

#4: "said to be", "may have had" -- SOURCE: "another insider"

#5: "purported", "supposedly" -- SOURCE: "the source."

Overall the article includes the following lawyer weasel words that make the statements essentially meaningless.

"Source/Snitch/Insider/Blogger" = 9x
"Rumor/Rumors/Stories" = 5x
"Report/Reported" = 4x
"Supposedly" = 3x
"Claim/Claims" = 3x
"Appears/Apparently" = 2x
"Purports/Purportedly" = 2x
"Leaks/Leaked" = 2x
"May Have" = 2x
"Said To Be" = 2x
"Alleged" = 1x

There's a total of 33 lawyer weasel words in this internet gossip rehash. Is it libel? Are repeating internet rumors about a public figure libel? That's a question for the attorneys. Our job is just to expose these frauds and the lowlife scum who reprint these disgusting rumors that no one publicly will put their name to.

Ted has denied this. So have three of the women who have come forward publicly to deal with this. One is looking at suing the Enquirer and hopefully the 33 lawyer weasel words aren't enough to inoculate this rag against an expensive civil judgment.

All of you need to publicly shame your remaining friends who still admit to supporting Trump. Show them no mercy. Abuse them publicly and boldly. Let them know you have no tolerance for anyone who continues to stand with Trump and his vile campaign of unsubstantiated crude personal attacks and internet rumors.

This is a rough primary campaign, but it's ok. Ted and Heidi are going to have to deal with all ........ this sooner or later. Let's get it out of the way now, beat Trump and his gang of gutter goons, and then we'll be rock solid when Hillary comes at us with her billions.

Thank you all for your support for Ted, for taking the time to read this to the very end, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, SHARING and RTing this post. AND DON'T FORGET TO POST IT ON THE PAGES OF YOUR FRIENDS WHO SUPPORT THE CRUDE BUFFOON KNOWN AS DONALD TRUMP!

I see the PAC is ignoring the connection to Rubio and is still blaming Trump for this story.

I'm all for a good Trump bashing, but from all I've read online, this story was from Rubio supporters.

Re: Sen. Ted Cruz Makes It Official

The Washington Times cut ties with their content provider who put out the bogus NE information, which also puts to rest the false rumor that the Washington times confirmed the story was true.

The PAC is talking about the NE story, not the Melanie porn photos.

And I would note, that I am sick of hearing people criticizing Ted Cruz on any of this. If Trump wasn't tweeting 12-year old junk on his Twitter feed for attention, we wouldn't be addressing and wasting our time with this stuff.

The Super PAC that put out the Melanie photos is simply an anti-Trump PAC. Liz supports Amnesty, that is why she supported Marco Rubio. Although, she should note that Donald Trump's "touch back" immigration policy is also Amnesty.

BTW, to Marco Rubio's credit, he has filed to have his name taken off the ballot in CA. If he was that against Cruz, he wouldn't have taken that step. No other candidates have requested to have their names removed.

I think Cruz is doing well, answering questions, but also focusing on issues we are wanting to know about. Chicken Donald needs to debate Ted.

Re: Sen. Ted Cruz Makes It Official

Who will protect the Little Sisters of the Poor and religious liberty for all? Who will revitalize our economy? Who will appoint Supreme Court justices that will respect our Constitution and the proper role of judges? Who will support strong families and a culture of marriage? Who will repeal Obamacare and replace it with a health care system that is just, affordable, and respectful of our rights to conscience? Who will take the fight to ISIS and protect Christians in the Middle East and Americans at home?

The answer is obvious. We believe the choice is now clear.

Today we are proud to endorse Ted Cruz for President.
