Trump bizarrely links Cruz’s father to JFK assassin; Cruz goes ballistic

The feud between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz hit epic proportions Tuesday as Republican primary voters headed to the polls in Indiana.

Trump was asked on Fox News to respond to remarks by the Texas senator's father on the campaign trail. Rafael Cruz had said electing “the alternative” to his son “could be the destruction of America.”

snip

Then he insinuated that Cruz’s father may have played some role in the assassination of John F. Kennedy Jr. No really. He brought up a questionable National Enquirer story claiming Rafael Cruz appeared in a photo with Oswald shortly before the murder.

Videos claim a person passing out leaflets in New Orleans with Oswald resembles Cruz. It's a vague resemblence, not enough to say for certain. And there's no indication Cruz was any kind of accomplice in the assassination....none of Oswalds others friends or family were involved.

"Story from Wayne Madsen"

And that's all you really need to know about that. Madsen is a fucking loon.

Though he's a favourite of some posters around here.

I still think Drumpf will continue to push Cruz buttons until Cruz physically attacks him.

Did the author of this get his JFK's mixed up? Did Trump imply that Rafael Cruz had something to do with JFK's son's plane crashing into the Atlantic? I can't hear the video. If he did, that is really strange. Even for Trump.
