Ted Cruz Is Now Going After Trump for Alleged Mob Ties

Ted Cruz went there this morning. Yes, on Meet the Press, he actually raised questions about Donald Trump‘s ties to organized crime.

Cruz again attacked Trump over his tax returns, going through possible reasons why he wouldn’t want to make them public, including a lesser net worth than he claims and money he gives to liberal groups.

But Cruz also threw out “multiple media reports about Donald’s business dealings with the mob, with the mafia––maybe his taxes show those business dealings are a lot more extensive than has been reported.”

Chuck Todd was pretty amazed by that and asked if he has any proof for that claim.

Cruz again pointed to the media reports about Trump. One can only imagine how Trump reacts to that…
