On the video CNN also said that a person doesn't win the presidency by taking two days off, right before the NH primary.
The point remains, why didn't Cruz verify Carson's intentions before putting out a phony narrative made up by his campaign?
It's not up to Cruz to verify Carson's intentions. It is Cruz's prerogative to pass along news reports to the caucus goers, and let them decide for themselves how they want to consider the report.
I would point out to the caucus goers that a candidate who takes two days off right before the NH primary, isn't in my opinion serious.
I wouldn't say that I know for a fact, that Carson is dropping out.
So the question becomes, what email or tweet, from what Cruz person, specifically said that Carson was dropping out?
