CNN — Ted Cruz won’t endorse Donald Trump, but the Republican nominee said Friday he wouldn’t take the support even if the Texas senator offered.
“If he gives it, I will not accept it,” Trump said at a news conference in Cleveland at the close of the Republican National Convention.
“I don’t want his endorsement,” he added. “Just, Ted, stay home, relax, enjoy yourself.”
Trump, speaking the end of a week dedicated to unifying the party, once again revived the conspiracy theory published in the National Enquirer that linked Cruz’s father to John F. Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald — an accusation that has no evidence behind it.
“I don’t know his father. I met him once,” Trump said. “I think he’s a lovely guy, a lovely guy. All I did was point out the fact that on the cover of the National Enquirer, there was a picture of him and crazy Lee Harvey Oswald having breakfast. Now Ted never denied that it was his father.”
Trump first suggested that Cruz’s father was involved in the assassination of Kennedy the morning of the Indiana primary, citing the tabloid story.
I knew he couldn’t keep it up. I knew he couldn’t help himself. I knew it wouldn’t last long. I did NOT know it would take less than 12 hours. Half a day! A tiger never loses its stripes! A Donald never loses his hair! Last night he stayed on script, stayed on teleprompter, refrained from saying the things we all know he was chomping at the bit to say. He wanted to talk about conspiracy theories. He wanted to rattle off elementary school nicknames demeaning everybody. But weeks of preparation and Reince Priebus in his ear somehow kept him on leash for an entire hour and 20 minutes.
But then he woke up, immediately took the stage to simply thank the Cleveland volunteers… and WHAMMY, leapt right back into the hilarious conspiracy theory about Lyin’ Ted’s dad helping Lee Harvey Oswald assassinate JFK. The Donald is back and has me reinvigorated for the Hillary debates. October can’t come soon enough.
Debate Donald taking us into the weekend!
