Ben Carson said late Saturday that Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas approached him during an off-camera break at ABC’s Republican debate to apologize for his campaign’s conduct during the Iowa caucuses and requested a one-on-one meeting with him.
“He said he’s sorry that this happened and he wants to sit down and talk,†Carson said in an interview with The Washington Post. “He wants to discuss the whole thing and clear the air.â€
In the interview, Carson said pointedly that if the meeting with Cruz is scheduled, that does not mean the the senator will be absolved.
“The evidence is there,†he said, citing voice-mails that his campaign has released of Cruz allies telling caucus-goers that Carson was likely to suspend his bid. “Tapes, written communications, it’s all out there. People have to decide whether this kind of behavior is acceptable to them.â€

Carson was never the “true conservative” that he was put in the race to pretend to be.
This is a media generated controversy and they should stop letting them drive the narrative.
Be like Donald
Wow. Normally you gotta be listening to a Hillary supporter to hear such objectivity.
It’s Carson that is out of line. 100%
Cruz supporters reflect the same values as Cruz.
Dishonest individuals telling what ever lie it takes to convince the gullible.
Just another hit piece on Cruz. He did not personally send any messages about Carson going to FL instead of NH or SC.
Seems the media is ignoring the reports that other candidates’ staffers in Iowa were telling people not to waste their votes on Cruz because he wasn’t eligible to be POTUS.
Politics ain’t golf. It gets a little rough, and you have to be current and ready to defend yourself. In Iowa, Carson was neither.
Supposedly, Gabriel was an ASA guy. No luck on verifying that, yet.
Is Nate Silver releasing a final analysis for NH?
Apology is meaningless if no one is fired or bumped out of the campaign.
Lets face it he is a smart man but not smart enough to know he was the token
Rubio is an idiot too, playing off his cuban bits
Cruz aint Canadian Halfrican or Cuban, he is from by God TX
I think Cruz has done more than enough and his team did nothing wrong. Carson turns out to be a sore loser just using this to get more media time. His positions are why he will not rise in the polls. He is bad on immigration, weak on pro-life, weak on the economy, budget, debt, national defense, etc. His support was about being the nice guy. So much for that.
When a brother in Christ asks forgiveness with repentance are you not supposed to forgive him? Do know that your brother in Christ Ted is a creep from personal experience, or are you just repeating slander? Is Ted Cruz not asking forgiveness for what someone on his staff did, not what he personally did?
Have you forgiven Donald Trump for multiple counts of Adultery, while brags about it instead of repenting?
I suspect you are biased beyond clear thought, and should repent for slander.
“Funny, I don’t remember Cruz stealing any elections either. “
You can lie to yourself all you want. Cruz cheated in Iowa, and was shown up for it last night by both Carson and Trump.
I don’t know if St. Cruz’s butt is hanging out but I do know his slimy reptile lawyerly underbelly has been exposed.
Yeah, CNN absolved itself... They surely are just as fair and impartial as as you are... Which means not at all.
All the talking heads that night thought Ben Carson might be dropping out... Heck I thought he was...
This all started because of a bad communication from Carsons Campaign then CNN..
Ted will be crushed in new Hampster even if all this sillyness was not happening he would be crushed there.
He knows it I know we all know it.
ON to SC!!!
Bingo! You win the kewpie doll.
I find the fact you assert St. Cruz is a “good” man reprehensible. Who backs that up exactly? His legions of friends? Ooops!
