He acknowledged shenanigans by his workers and apologized to Carson. It’s been all over the news.

The governor of Iowa said:

“Branstad similarly called out the Cruz campaign for its “questionable” tactics. In an interview with Radio Iowa on Thursday, Branstad said that the Carson note was “unethical and unfair.”

“This thing that they distributed on caucus night, saying that Dr. Carson was likely to drop out and his supporters should support Cruz, that is, I think, unethical and unfair,” Branstad said. “I think there’ll be repercussions to that.”

Cruz admitted that his campaign passed on an erroneous report from CNN, and that his staff did not pass on the current information.

To characterize this as fraud is slander.

Sour grapes on Brandstand’s part (especially because he and his family are addicted to Ethanol).

Ben Carson lost maybe 1% (at most).

Self-serving comments by ethanol-crony Branstad. Dude pleaded with Iowans, “Anybody but Cruz!” And the good Republicans of Iowa listened attentively and voted for... Cruz. Unsurprising that he’d try to diminish Ted’s win.

LOL. Carson is likely to drop out.

There were no shenanigans. We are now three days from another primary day and Ben Carson has not held a single campaign event since he left Iowa Monday night. The CNN reports that the Cruz campaign passed on were true.

Nobody serious about a Presidential run conducts a campaign like this. No one but a fraud would hire a campaign bus to drive around the primary states, empty, to try to make voters think they are campaigning in their state. Carson is a FRAUD.
