Rick Tyler, the Senior Communications Advisor for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), issued a public apology after spreading a false story reporting that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) made a nasty comment to a Cruz staffer about the Bible.
"I want to apologize to Senator Marco Rubio for posting an inaccurate story about him here earlier today," Tyler wrote on Facebook after sharing the false story online. "The story misquoted a remark the Senator made to the staffer. I assumed wrongly that the story was correct."
The false report indicated that Rubio said that there were "not many answers" in the Bible -- when in fact, Rubio commented that "all the answers" were in the book of scripture.
Tyler indicated that he communicated with the Cruz staffer in the video, who explained that Rubio had made a "friendly and appropriate remark" about the Bible.
"Since the audio was unclear, I should not have assumed the story was correct," Tyler wrote. "I've deleted the post because I would not knowingly post a false story. But the fact remains that I did post it when I should have checked its accuracy first. I regret the mistake."

You guys hold Cruz up as the most moral, righteous, and upstanding person in the race, then you better be ready for the storm when stuff like this comes up.
you were only able to list one NYC bank (hint, it has New York in its name).
Cap One is in Virginia (suburban Washington DC). Merrill is controlled by North Carolina based BofA. Deutsche is, of course, German, while UBS is, of course Swiss. Amboy, as you might guess, is in New Jersey, as is Investors. Royal is in Pennsylvania.
You almost had a shot at Ladder (not a bank, but a finance company), but its New York offices show a Park Avenue address between 51st and 52nd. Goldman is much closer to Wall, but we'll give you partial credit
every bank on Wall Street
Try that line on someone who hasn't been in a bank except to cash a check. Looks like Trump actually tries to avoid the big name Wall Street banks.
Another issue with Cruz that sticks in my craw is his failure to have made arrangements for a federal court to rule on his eligibility as an NBC. To me, if Cruz is nominated, he is risking the GOP nominee being DQ’d and if he loses the gamble, handing the election over to the Socialists. To me he is gambling on America’s future for the sake of his own political prospects. More career politician crap. That really turns me off.
Seek help.
Spooks , and not good ones— on their payroll.
How do you know that?
After 3 or 4 similar incidents one must look to the head of the fish.
It is certainly and provably true.
“I’m going to give Cruz the benefit of the doubt and say that these repeated missteps are mistakes by his staffers and not by him. But he should have done a better job of choosing his staff.”
A bug part of a president’s job us to pick good people to advise him - and fire them when they picked the wrong person.
I do agree that Tyler and Roe have done a few dumb things during this campaign. They are now up to about 5% of the dumb things that have come out of Trump’s own mouth.
Iin this case the Dis/Misinformation appears to have originate with...
“This was pretty dope.”

Anybody seen an explanation from the Video Producer why the subtitles were false?
I believe Cruz is a truly wonderful man, but he seems to have brought into his campaign a few people who are not of the same caliber.
I would vote for Cruz if he won the nomination though, without question.
That’s not really a valid criticism IMO. Heck I also thought Roberts was great going in. A lot of people did. He came in as Mr. Faithful Conservative Constitutionalist. How many SCOTUS Justices have made a sharp left once they joined the Court? Who was to know unless there was a much deeper probe into what made him tick.
I think those deep probes regarding faithfulness to the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended are needed. Unfortunately most of the inquiry revolves around adherence to partisan politics, from which which Justices should be immune, instead of the Constitution, the ONLY legal application that should be used to judge the facts of the case.
So in one comment you say, “Thank You, Jesus!!!”
And in another comment you call me a liar, with no substantiation.
Nice.
