Cruz threw first stone at Trump

Those who cast the first stone ...

The entire country has heard Sen. Ted Cruz make the excuse of why he will not endorse Mr. Donald Trump. He says it is because of comments made about his wife and father during the contentious primary.

We all must be reminded of the fact that the senator cast the first stone in this battle of words — by having a picture of Mrs. Trump posing partially nude when she was a model some years ago.

Of course the senator blamed his PAC; but let's face it, based on the type of campaign the senator ran, we can be assured that he made sure that the PAC was made aware of the picture.

There is always two sides to every story but for some reason the media only presents one side based on their preference of candidates. This is just a small example of why the people in this country are so fed up with the biased media.
