Donald Trump Staffer: Ted Cruz Made “Death Threat” On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’
Source: Deadline.com & ABC.com March 31, 2016 2:37pm
Jimmy Kimmels show aired a death threat against Donald Trump made by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Trump staffer charged on CNN today. Jimmy Kimmel To Ted Cruz: If he wasnt Ted Cruz, he probably would be reported and investigated by the Secret Service, Karen Giorno, identified by CNN as Trump campaign southeast regional director, told Jake Tapper.
It should offend every American. This is a presidential race, said the staffer of a GOP candidate who, two months earlier, boasted at a rally, I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldnt lose voters. This is not a time to be joking about the front-runner and essentially running him over and causing him harm or death, Giorno continued.
Last night, Cruz made his first visit to Kimmels ABC late-night show. He followed a guest who had showed viewers how to scare a pal on April Fools Day by taping a photo of Donald Trump to the back of the pals car, covering the back-up camera. Said Cruz, when Kimmel asked if he liked President Obama or Trump better, If I were in my car and getting ready to reverse, and saw Donald in the backup camera, Im not confident which pedal Id push.
This afternoon, Cruz communications director Alice Stewart told Tapper, It was a joke, on a late-night comedy show, adding it was no surprise the Trump team is going to focus on this. CNN contributor and GOP strategist Ana Navarro counseled Giorno that the country will not get through this election cycle that Trump has done so much to plunge into a cuckoo crazy phase without the help of humor and liquor, so lighten up.

(5,732 posts)The allegation that the GOP is running a presidential race should offend every American. They are running a traveling circus.

I am sure he is very very good at taking the fall !
April showers are on the way !
and when it rains it pours !
All the losers are gathering around Cruz like valtures waiting for his untimely quick exit from the race. Jeb is ready and waiting to insert himself back in the race when Cruz goes down.

(3,426 posts)Romney, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker the list goes on and don't you know at least three of them want back in !
The Bush brothers have Cruz surrounded ,than there is that other Texas loser ,his vote doesn't seem to be there ,rick is that the one !
Christie, well he sold his party out ,he's what they call a turn coat and Rudy Tudy 9/11 ,he's , lets just say he's on the fence, but he'll turn.
Walker spilled the beans, he flat out told them he thinks the party will pick someone other than those losers ,a fresh face to replace Cruz cruising out of control.What was spoken or misspoken is the issue they are afraid to speak to but Cruz figures what he really thinks goes without saying. This is why he speaks like preacher, he wants the religious right to think to believe he will do their bidding after he gets in ,that's the unspoken word. But it isn't unspoken anymore because it has been addressed in public view and so it's out there.
That's what the meeting was about, the core constituents, the religious right wing.Lying Ted will have no choice but to face the music ,address the issue or avoid it in every possible way.
If he avoids it, where will they go ? !
If he address's it, who's gonna believe a serial philandering lying sack of manure ?
Because when it rains it pours , that's the clue !
