Donald Trump on Tuesday alleged that Ted Cruz's father was with John F. Kennedy's assassin shortly before he murdered the president, parroting a National Enquirer story claiming that Rafael Cruz was pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963.Maybe it's a genetic thing. Maybe it's nurture. I mean, if your poppa killed JFK, the chances that you're going to grow up super-creepy are probably super-high.

"His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous," Trump said Tuesday during a phone interview with Fox News. …
"I mean, what was he doing what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?" Trump continued. "It's horrible."

Honestly, what's ridiculous here is that this won't hurt Trump. Trump's campaign doesn't run on policy, and it certainly doesn't run on logic. It runs on conspiracy theory. Mexicans are raping our women. The Chinese are raping the whole country. Hillary is… take your pick from the big stack of old Drudge, National Enquirer, and Limbaugh stories. So Ted Cruz' father was on the grassy knoll. Sure. Why not. Was Castro back there with him? I bet it was Castro.

Donald Trump on Tuesday alleged that Ted Cruz's father was with John F. Kennedy's assassin shortly before he murdered the president, parroting a National Enquirer story claiming that Rafael Cruz was pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963.
A Cruz campaign spokesperson told the Miami Herald, which pointed out numerous flaws in the Enquirer story, that it was "another garbage story in a tabloid full of garbage."
"His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous," Trump said Tuesday during a phone interview with Fox News. "What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it."
"I mean, what was he doing what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?" Trump continued. "It's horrible."

Maybe it's just my own misunderstanding, but it appears as though words were said without actually understanding the subject matter.
