But the way you used it suggested that he apologized about “lying”. He didn’t lie so he could not apologize about that and did not. What he apologized for was not passing on Carson’s “clarification” later in the night (change of mind about letting people know he was not going to campaign, I would say, based on his campaign schedule being totally empty).

It probably would have been too late to change anything, but yeah, he should have passed it on so he apologized for not doing so. He’s the only one who has apologized about anything. CNN hasn’t apologized and in their article about Cruz’s apology lied about what they had actually said in the on-air clip. I just gave links to that clip so you can see for yourself that they said Carson would not be going to NH or SC (as is confirmed also by his website saying there are no campaign events scheduled). The only one doing the honorable thing at this point is Cruz, and yet the “Christians” on this board are calling him a slimy liar. Not one person has been able to give me a quote where Cruz said something untrue, that he knew was untrue.

Long and short of it, Carson is not campaigning but he changed his mind about letting people know that and blamed both CNN (initially) and then Cruz for noticing what he had told CNN about not campaigning. That is not an honorable response, though I can understand his frustration if he was afraid somebody else was making his resignation speech for him before he could. He should not have spoken to CNN if he didn’t want this reported.

I don’t know whether I will vote for Cruz or Trump. My point in spending time here is to say that truth matters. It’s easy to get carried away with supporting our favorite candidate but people need to get a grip and find out the facts before spreading slander. When ya got bad facts ya get bad results, and we desperately need honest, good results.
