Ted Cruz Suggests Donald Trump Has Mob Ties In His Tax Returns

[Lakhota]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) speculated on Sunday that Donald Trump hasn’t released his tax returns because they show he has strong ties to the mob.

“Maybe it is the case that Donald, there have been 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,” Cruz told "Meet The Press."

A semi-taken-aback Chuck Todd asked Cruz if he had any basis to suggest Trump has mob ties.

“Oh sure,” Cruz replied. “ABC, CNN, multiple news reports have reported about his some dealings with, for example, S&A Construction, which was owned by 'Fat Tony' Salerno, who is a mobster who is in jail. It is owned by two of the major New York crime families. And that has been reported in multiple media outlets.”

Fat Tony? Wow, I've never seen an election cycle like this one. I expect it will get much worse before it gets better.

Nobody until he releases his returns.

PUT UP or SHUT UP. More dirty tricks from Cruz. He's finished.

It's probably impossible to do big construction projects on the east coast without the mob being involved somehow.

Yea right Ted, because everyone puts their connections to the mob on their tax returns. Ted Cruz is a slimeball idiot.

More than likely trump had to deal with the unions who had mob ties.

Jimmy Hoffa is missing? Does Trump know where he is?

Yes Ted Cruz will say anything to be elected. He has Castro connections to overcome.

Yep, he certainly throws poop - along with green eggs and ham. Cruz and Trump may be the greatest poop throwers in history.

You are so gullible and I was only kidding about your tax return....you'd have to actually work and pay taxes to have one of those

Cruz is just trying to use the same tactics that Donald the Chump does.

Make wild accusations, say that you've heard it from reliable people (without mentioning exactly WHO those people are), and then just let it sit out there and see if anyone bites.

I mean, Donald the Chump did the same thing to Obama with his birther bullshit.
