"'... you’re being very disingenuous by saying that we’re not covering it. ... I think it’s a very good spin that you put on it,' said Lemon. 'But not necessarily the truth.'"

COMMENTS: 
*  Not a fan of CNN or Trump, but his response was juvenile. He's trying to be the bully and frighten people who disagree or put him in a negative light. Well, he put himself there through years of being public.
*  Trump thinks Cruz was a part of those pictures of Trump's wife but there isn't any proof that he was. Instead, trump decided to snoop down to the level of a school yard bully because he thinks Cruz might have had something to do with it. Way to be the bigger man Trump. Oh, and Trump, if you didn't want the world to see your wife naked, maybe you shouldn't have gotten with someone that has no respect for her body and showed it off to the world.
*  With pictures involved it's a bit hard to defend. Trumpeters can blame the press all they want...Trump is the only one who provides material for them to work with everyday. This particular interview displays the continual denial by the Trump campaign and supporters of his own comments and posts.
*  Every time I see Ms. Pierson on the TV I start to calculate the amount of Valium and alcohol she needs at the end of each day after defending Mr. Trump.
*  I can't wait until this election is over. I feel like none of the candidates really care anymore it's just a #$%$ grabbing competition at this point. I feel like the next one will be even worse
*  Are Cruz and Chump running for President of the U.S. or president of the 2nd grade class? More important things affect this country than the childish trash talk that has been going on for too long.

Don Lemon Takes Down Donald Trump Spokeswoman: ‘You’re Being Very Disingenuous’
By Tony Maccio, March 29, 2016

On CNN’s New Day, Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson was interviewed by Don Lemon. In the interview, she defended Trump’s most recent controversial actions. After a series of ads ran in Utah showing Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, in an unflattering light, Donald Trump went on the offensive and attacked fellow candidate Ted Cruz’s wife, Heidi Cruz. “I bet CNN viewers didn’t even know Melania Trump had been attacked for months by pro Ted Cruz people,” Pierson told Lemon. “That’s why I’m here.” Lemon responded, “We have been talking about that for months, Katrina. I think that you’re being very disingenuous about this.”

Pierson continued to insist that Donald Trump’s retweet of a photo and taking a shot at Heidi’s appearance didn’t constitute an attack — a point Lemon took issue with. “Don’t say that that’s supporting his wife,” said Lemon, “You don’t need Heidi Cruz in that picture to support his wife.” Pierson then reiterated that the attacks on Melania have been happening over the past several months with no attention from CNN. Again, Lemon was not pleased with Pierson’s rhetoric. 

“We’ve interviewed Melania Trump. Anderson Cooper did a very extensive interview with Melania Trump where he talked about all of those issues,” Lemon explained. “We report on every single scandal, every single tweet. Every single thing that happens — not only with Melania Trump, but with Heidi Cruz and any of the other candidates — so you’re being very disingenuous by saying that we’re not covering it.”

Never finding common ground, Lemon concluded the interview by once again voicing his displeasure with Pierson. “Katrina Pierson, thank you very much, I appreciate that. I think it’s a very good spin that you put on it,” said Lemon. “But not necessarily the truth.”
