Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio, coming off a fifth place finish in New Hampshire's Republican primary contest, slammed Ted Cruz for the rival campaign's deception of voters during last week's Iowa caucuses.
"His campaign was sending out recorded calls to activists in Iowa telling them Ben Carson has dropped out, inform everyone at the caucus site," Rubio told CBS News' Major Garrett Wednesday. "It was a concerted effort that I'm sure they planned to execute on something in order to influence the election."
Rubio was referring to the false rumor Cruz's campaign propagated by implying Carson was withdrawing from the presidential race, just as Iowa residents convened for caucus night. Carson blamed Cruz for his single-digit finish in the early-voting state, saying that the move was just another example of "Washington ethics" at work.

Marco will be much better served by coming home to Florida and running for governor in 2 years before he embarrasses himself.
He may very well have been a beneficiary of Dr. Carson’s wardrobe malfunction as well.
Didn’t Rubio’s campaign do the same thing?
He better memorize this one better than he did the Obama line.
Marco!
Repeat it 5 times and maybe people will believe it.
I’m wondering if some of the noobs are on somebody’s payroll. They keep posting variations of the same thing.
Mario Rubco knows a thing or two about deceit.
He deceived people into believing he opposed amnesty to get elected to the Senate.
He tried to deceive all of us what was in that horrible Gang bill.
He tried to deceive people that he had changed his mind about amnesty.
He tells Spanish speaking audiences the opposite of what he says in English.
Deceptocon Memorizer Bunny
Rubarb has already announced he’s quitting his Senate seat. Why do we want to elect a quitter? If he hates that job, what makes him think he won’t get tired of the presidency? No quitters.
He supposedly denied it later after deleting his tweet.
Oh, well as long as he deleted it, then it never happened.
From what I’ve noticed, there are just as many FReepers from the Class of ‘98 that do the same thing
I criticized Cruz for his TPA vote months before Trump was in the race. However, I will also criticize Trump for sending his manufacturing to China, Bangladesh, and Mexico.
I heard Rubio was dropping out. Pass it on.
Rubio falls behind; so he starts telling lies.
Not impressive for the kid.
