Before the rumors and allegations were made public in a scorching piece against Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for allegedly having five extramarital affairs, the accusations laid in hiding under a mysterious hashtag on Twitter.
For weeks leading up to the National Enquirer report out Friday, which claims Cruz had sexual relations with five former co-workers and political insiders, supporters of Sen. Marco Rubio and “#NeverTrump” promoters on social media discussed “#TheThing,” as the Cruz allegation was dubbed by insiders.
@thehill He’ll be embarrassed about that soon, I think. [COUGH] #TheThing

@Orpi35 @kingsepp If I had #TheThing, I’d release it. Trust me, after 20 reporter calls today, I’m DONE

@megynkelly Make sure you ask Katrina about #TheThing this evening.

When does #TheThing drop? Tomorrow? Not until after Tuesday?

The news networks sitting on ‘The Thing’ are doing the ultimate disservice to our country.

So I know about #TheThing and I hope it isn’t true. Not going to assume anything until I see hard evidence (or lack thereof).

So… #TheThing… Seems like today would be a great time for that to drop… #NeverTrump #TeamMarco

If you drive Rubio out and #TheThing drops, and it turns out to be true, you will have nowhere to go. I wish I could say I’d laugh. I won’t.

Cruz’s alleged mistresses include Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson and CNN pundit Amanda Carpenter, who formerly worked for the Cruz campaign.
Pierson has repeatedly denied the allegations and actually debunked the rumors a week ago when she was questioned about it on social media.
And the world turns.
