    Michael Savage Threatens to Withdraw From Trump Over National Enquirer Story

    Conservative radio host Michael Savage is threatening to withdraw his support for Donald Trump unless he disavows the "assassination by innuendo" of Sen. Ted Cruz in a National Enquirer story – and the CEO of the tabloid's owner.

    In a segment of "The Savage Nation" show Friday – posted by the Right Scoop – the host declares the Enquirer story falsely alleges Cruz carried on five extra-marital flings – charges Cruz refutes as "garbage."

    And, Savage charges, Enquirer owner American Media Inc.'s CEO David Pecker, is a "close friend" of Trump, "flies to Florida on Trump's private jet" and is "personally involved in the anti-Cruz stories."

    "This is assassination by innuendo," Savage says of the Enquirer bombshell. "I supported Trump, and probably still will, but if he won't disavow this guy Pecker and this story I may withdraw my support…. I am not going to support anyone who engages in assassination by innuendo."

    Savage declared he learned "the scandal is false" from "someone who I work with closely, who I would trust with my life," and whose contact within the Enquirer bluntly conceded, "'We don't have it,' meaning it's all innuendo."

    Savage said he's not blaming Trump for the story, but warns: "If he finds outs that this Pecker is involved, he should get rid of this connection because this is not going to help him at all."

    Why is it that the media always wants Trump to disavow this or disavow that? Cruz didn't disavow the PAC that ran the ad against Melania Trump. This story has been out there for more than 6 months. The major media like the Washington Post and others admit they've heard it since last summer from various sources who have nothing to do with Trump, but they didn't have enough evidence to run the story. The National Enquirer is known for running rumor stories. Personally I find it hard to believe that 5 women had an interest in having sex with Ted Cruz but to each their own. These are still just rumors at this point, I don't think the women were even named in the article. I haven't read the article, you have to buy the newspaper, they don't post their stories on-line, and I won't buy it.

    I think more than anything at this point, the last few days shows that Ted Cruz doesn't do well under attack. He's good at dishing it out, but can't take it when something is dished on him. If the Washington Post and several other newspapers have all known about these rumors since last summer, of course the National Inquirer has heard the same rumors. So no one "planted the story", no one should be attacked for them, and no one should be called upon to "disavow" them. After all, some of it may be true. Who knows? It's printed rumor. Free speech.

    And for the record, a little research on David Pecker, he's an accountant, a former VP Controller for CBS Magazines. He's now head of a company that owns at least 10 newspapers and magazines and apparently does a good job at it. These magazines and newspapers are what they are, they tell wild stories, rumors and gossips. A lot of people like that which is why they buy the newspapers and magazines. Some of the rumors turn out to be true, some are never proved, and some are just false. Ask Hollywood actors about it. They're hit with this stuff every day. They don't go out and attack their competitor for a leading role for something published in the National Inquirer, do they? Of course not.

    Michael Savage, I don't listen to talk radio, but my dear 94 year old Auntie does. She has lost her eyesight and can no longer watch television, macular degeneration, and adores your program, listens to it all the time, because she is a huge Trump Supporter and loves everything you say about Donald Trump. Don't disappoint your listeners like my dear Auntie by falling for feigned indignation over a rumor story published in the National Inquirer. Please don't do that to them. You are her link, please don't force her to turn you off and shut herself out of the news. Auntie was a college professor, has her Doctorate in Education, taught at a major university for 40 years training English teachers.

    So get off Trump's back about Cruz's issue with the National Enquirer. After all, Trump is the one who wants to expand libel and slander laws to make it harder for the media to tell and print lies about people. So in my opinion you're barking way up the wrong tree on this one.
