“You are mortified by the FACT that Cruz’ campaign blasted the false message that Carson was suspending his campaign. So like the consummate Pharisee, you substitute YOUR words for mine, and then attack me for not denouncing words I NEVER said.”
Let me help you out. If I were trying to make your case, I would argue that “suspend” is the same exact thing as “drop out”. It is not. But that is your only line of defense. Sorry. It does not work.
I pointed out EXACTLY what you said. You questioned if I was doing drugs because I said the Cruz team reported what CNN said which IMPLIED Carson was dropping out.
It is still VERY, VERY clear that what CNN reported, what other media outlets reported (specifically “suspend”) only IMPLIED Carson was dropping out. He had not made an announcement. They ALL knew this.
And skipping the next two debates to go home is “suspending”. If I was a Cruz campaigner on the sidewalk at a voting place talking to voters, I would have used the words “dropping out”. I would not have lied. I would have said,
“I just read a CNN tweet that said Carson is going home and not going to the debates in SC and NH. What does that mean? I can’t say for sure, because he has not made an announcement yet, but it looks like he is finished. Why don’t you consider Cruz as an alternative to Carson?”
If it came out that this report was in error, I would obviously NOT use a false report.
I am losing count now. Is this the sixth or seventh time for me to ask you to explain why you HATE Cruz over this supposed lie, not from Cruz himself, but a staffer; but you are okay with Trump himself comparing Carson to a pedophile? Why do you have a different standard for Cruz and Trump?
No matter how many words you type, I still said “suspend.” YOU said “dropping out.”
Attack yourself for a while. You’ve earned it.
