2016 Presidential Election: 20 WTF Moments
17. All Those Ted Cruz Accusations
Poor Ted Cruz: the guy just couldn't catch a break. For starters, in March, the Internet began to cling to the idea that the Republican presidential candidate was the Zodiac killer...despite being born two years after the Zodiac's first killing.
The Internet was basically just screwing around, but it still detracted from the overall picture of him as an actual candidate.
Things got a lot more serious in May, when the National Enquirer claimed that Cruz's father, Rafael Cruz, was in cahoots with Lee Harvey Oswald and may have had a hand in John F. Kennedy's assassination.
Cruz, of course, rubbished the reports, but coincidentally suspended his presidential bid the very same day.
