No he did not knowingly lie. The whole story continues to be fed with misinformation......why not drop it since Carsons bowing out and his staff boogied Monday to the Cruz team......which in itslef spoke volumes.
The timeline shows clearly he (Cruz’ campaign chief) received the correction from the Carson campaign and went ahead with the misinformation not to staff members but directly to 1500 precinct captains.
He can’t run away from that. Sorry but it’s on the record. He saw an opportunity to cheat, and he took it. He’s shown himself to be a scumbag.
I understand that Ben Carson privately accepted Cruz apology for what happened, even though it was really nothing.
Carson has made noises about moving past this but, well, this is the only publicity Carson has gotten in a while and he is tempted to milk it.
By the way, I like to remind Carson about the things Trump said about him a few weeks ago. Cruz has never spoken so ill of Carson as Trump did.
