Republican presidential frontrunner, Donald J. Trump, has connected his political opponent with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Speaking with Fox News via telephone on May 3, Trump notes that Senator Ted Cruz’s father, Pastor Rafael B. Cruz, was pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald “shortly” before Kennedy’s death.
The magazine claims to have obtained a photo that shows the senior Cruz distributing pro-Fidel Castro leaflets with Oswald in New Orleans, Louisiana, three months before JFK’s 1963 assassination.
“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.”
