Amanda Carpenter Photo: Is Amanda Carpenter Ted Cruz’s Mistress?
CNN co-anchor of “At This Hour,” Kate Bolduan, had a discussion between Amanda Carpenter, the former communications director for Sen. Ted Cruz, and Adriana Cohen, a Boston Herald columnist and Trump supporter.
Kate asked Cohen if she thought the two Republican presidential candidates should drop their increasingly personal and ugly feud over one another’s wives — when Cohen redirected the conversation toward rumors of Cruz’s infidelity.
“Absolutely, I think we should move on,” Cohen said, “and where we should move to is the National Enquirer story that has reported that Ted Cruz has allegedly had affairs with at least five mistresses — including, you’ve been named, Amanda.”
Carpenter’s was in shock. Cohen said the Texas senator should issue a statement either denying the rumors or admitting they were true, and she again pointed out that Carpenter has been identified in the unconfirmed reports.
“You were named, Amanda. Will you denounce this story or will you confront it?” Cohen said.
Carpenter laughed and said, “this is tabloid trash.”
“What’s out there is tabloid trash,” Carpenter said. “If someone wants to comment on it, they can talk to my lawyer. It is categorically false, and you should be ashamed of spreading this kind of smut. Donald Trump supporters should be held to account for it. I will not be intimidated.”
