Mike Cernovitch posts<\/a>: Ted Cruz has been accused of having at least five mistresses, including CNN anchor and former Cruz employee Amanda Carpenter. The media claims Cruz has denied these accusations.<\/p>\n

Cruz is lying, according to multiple trial lawyers and experts on persuasion. His lies are hard to spot, because his lies are also truthful.<\/p>\n

Consider what Cruz said in response to the news story:<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me be clear this National Enquirer story is garbage. It is complete and utter lies. It is a tabloid smear and it is a smear that has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let’s look at what Cruz did not say. Cruz could have said, “I have never cheated on my wife.” Why didn’t he?<\/p>\n

Consider the oath witnesses take before testifying. “I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” Isn’t that redundant?<\/p>\n

Ted Cruz is accused of having had an affair with five women. He could say, “That’s a lie. I did not have five mistresses.” If Cruz did have one mistress, then he’d have told the truth (he didn’t have five) but not the whole truth (he had one).<\/p>\n

"You had 5 mistresses!"<\/p>\n

That's a garbage smear, a total lie, an outrage!<\/p>\n

That's true, even if you had ONE mistress.#CruzSexScandal<\/a><\/p>\n
