There’s a big difference between ‘passing along’ and purposefully exaggerating the news story, especially after they’d already got a clarification that Carson wasn’t dropping out, AND after CNN had clarified that he wasn’t dropping out, the Cruz campaign once again kept spreading the rumor.
Worse, unless there’s a hell of an impressionist working the Cruz campaign, the false information came right from the top.
You would think that someone who supposedly holds himself to such a high standard like Cruz would have some qualms about making an announcement like this, ESPECIALLY with the exaggerated bits added on.
If it had been the Trump camp that had done this, you’d be screaming bloody murder.
That was not Cruz on the audio. Carson has not been on the campaign trail since he left Iowa Monday night. To most folks that looks like a suspension of his campaign, especially since there are 2 more elections within less than a month. Every commentator who heard the CNN report thought he was suspending his campaign and getting out.
Carson is such a fraud he leased a campaign bus to drive around empty through the primary states to make it look like he was campaigning.
