CNN’s Brooke Baldwin Calls Ted Cruz Statement ‘B.S.’

CNN ^ | February 3

[Helicondelta]

CNN has accused the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz of making false statements about the network's reporting on the campaign of GOP rival Ben Carson. "Senator Cruz's claims about CNN are false," the network said in a statement Wednesday evening. "At no point did the network indicate Dr. Carson would suspend his campaign."

The network's reporting-that Carson would make a trip to Florida before resuming his campaign-came as voters in Iowa were preparing to make the first solid votes of the 2016 campaign. CNN's statement said "Dr. Carson's staff informed CNN that he would return home to take a 'deep breath' before resuming his activities on the trail. That information was reported accurately by CNN across TV and digital."

Atlanta strikes back

[UnwashedPeasant]

CNN reported “breaking news” that Carson was “taking a break” from the campaign.

The Cruz supporter who tweeted this did not use the word “suspend.” He accurately repeated the CNN report.

[hillarys cankles]

You mean the cruz PR guy who said he “confirmed with someone in carson campaign”?

Cruz is gonna go down over this. He’s a friggin liar.

[Bobalu]

MSM, Dems, GOPee ... they are all playing Trump and Cruz for fools.

For such smart guys they seem to be blind to the obvious :-(

Stop the damn bickering and join as a team!

All the usual suspects are gleefully watching the suicidal feud between our two best candidates.

[TigerClaws]

CNN hates Cruz and hates Trump.

Keep that pot stirring to cancel each other out.

I’ve seen far dirtier tricks played in campaigns than this. This is only the first state! Long way to go and bumpy road ahead.

Turns out ted is a scumbag vote stealing canadian phoney. Ted Body of christ Cruz.

[wardaddy]

That’s difficult to ascertain

Carson precient reps say Cruz leaders told them Carson was quitting

Before the Caucus started.....all over the state

That Cruz guy Tyler I think was parsing his butt off on Fox

Very unseemly for such a Godly candidate

I’d expect this from Kasich or Bridgegate or maybe even Rubio

And I like Cruz but the more this goes on the walks on water shine gets a darker patina

[ETL]

Turns out ted is a scumbag vote stealing canadian phoney. Ted Body of christ Cruz.

How someone as dumb and misguided as you is able to work a computer is amazing.

[Cobra64]

yup. and we keep bickering for some reason. It changes nothing except animosity towards one another.

[napscoordinator]

Cruz lies.......well that is a shocker.

[Smokin' Joe]

We’re going to end up with a communist/criminal against a Rubio/Jeb ticket. Any elite who gets the nod is Jeb’s ticket to the on deck circle.

[P-Marlowe]

CNN is lying. I listened to the tape. They were giving the impression that Carson was poised to drop out.

[kiryandil]

I think that toddausauras has insulted scumbag vote stealing canadian phoneys everywhere by comparing them to Ted "Calgary" Cruz, the Convenient Constitutionalist. :)

[moehoward]

Ted is going to have to turn his trumpisms up to 11 to drown out reality.

[Slyfox]

The only thing the Cruz campaign did wrong was accepting CNN’s story and not checking with the Carson campaign for the truth before taking action.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

Cruz thinks his supporters are stupid and will believe everything he says even though it has been proven by emails, videos, tweets and the clock that they lied about Carson dropping out,, All Cruz would have had to do is take 30 seconds to call Carson or his CM to validate what he is saying,,

but of course Cruz nor his scumbag Campaign Manager(that guy is a real creep) was going to call the Carson campaign to validate because he knew it wasn’t the truth and then he couldn’t continue with the Carson leaving the race story(he made up) to take Carson’s votes.. CNN NEVER said Carson was leaving the race and Cruz knew that

even after the Carson people officially said he’s not leaving the race(including Carson’s wife in a caucus hall pleading her husband’s case) the Cruz camp still went pedal to the metal with the false story to grab those votes..

I’m telling you this thing isn’t going away and it’s going to hurt Cruz with the voters (as I have already seen on Newsmax tonight Cruz voters switching from him in disgust for what he did to a good man).. as it should

this is just another reason why people despise scumbag politicians

[nopardons]

True and he looked like a deer in the headlights.

[Aria]

So Toddasaurus said what he thought about Cruz and you attacked Toddasaurus for it.

Not cool.

[tallyhoe]

She is lying they have her on tape saying he was quitting his campaign..
