Tapper to Carpenter: ‘Have You Ever Had Any Sort of Intimate Relationship’ with Cruz?

‘There’s nothing more important to me than being a good wife and a good mother’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TAPPER: "Let's talk about this all, joining me, CNN political carpenter. Let's address the circumstances. Have you had ever any sort of intimate relationship with senator Cruz, anything at all, anything that could be considered inappropriate?"
CARPENTER: "No, I had a purely professional relationship with senator Cruz. And I want too go further than that. I've been 100% faithful to my husband. There's nothing more important to me than being a good wife and a good mother and it's been very hard the past few days to have my character called into question and watch this blow back on them. So thank you for having me here to talk about it. And I hope no one else has to go through this."
