He had to apologize for it so he knew it was a lie. If he didn’t before he let his camp spread it, then he’s too incompetent to check things out or pick good people to work for him.

What faulty reasoning. He never apologized for sharing what the CNN report said. The CNN report was accurate in its facts (he was not going to go to NH or SC) but Carson corrected their speculation that staying away from NH or SC is the actions of somebody about to quit, as everybody knows.
He apologized that he didn’t update his people about Carson saying he wasn’t stopping his campaigning when Carson made that known later that evening.
So what campaigning has Carson been doing this week? Aside from saying Cruz’s apology is not good enough.
