Donald Trump is back at it again on the eve of the Indiana primary, spreading more conspiracies about Ted Cruz with the help of the National Enquirer.

During a Tuesday morning appearance on Fox News, the Republican frontrunner discussed the alleged links between Ted Cruz’s father and the JFK assassination, as “reported” in the Enquirer last month.

“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald’s being shot,” Trump said in an apparent reference to the Enquirer story, which claimed to have photo evidence of the two men together in 1963. The Cruz campaign has dismissed the story as “garbage.”
“Nobody even brings it up,” Trump continued. “What was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death, before the shooting? It’s horrible.”

Previously, Trump echoed claims published in the Enquirer alleging that Cruz was carrying on a series of extramarital affairs. “While they were right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards, and many others, I certainly hope they are not right about Lyin’ Ted Cruz,” Trump wrote on Facebook.
As Trump has said in the past: “All I know is what’s on the Internet.”
Trump’s interview with Fox on Tuesday also included some casual disdain for free speech and freedom of religion. He said it was a “disgrace” that Cruz’s father, a Christian preacher, is “allowed” to invoked the name of God when asking people to vote for his son.
