Did the Cruz campaign lie about Carson getting out of the Iowa race when obviously he did not. And yes Cruz would know about it. CNN did NOT say Carson was getting out of the presidential race.
You’re a smart guy; I truly believe that from your posting history. The information about Carson is Carson’s fault and he should be ashamed of himself for letting Cruz’s campaign take the fall.
It was CARSON that told CNN he wasn’t going to campaign in NH or SC. Now, we all know that that was a complete sign of dropping out. Regardless, CNN ran it as a breaking story, because it was a breaking story, and Cruz’s campaign (and Rubio’s) ran with it. Who wouldn’t? You would have. I would have. In the speed of the caucus, when people are voting live, and a candidate tells a media outlet he’s not campaigning, that is a sign that those votes swirl if you don’t say something.
Later that night, CNN did NOT run a breaking news story to say they were wrong or that Carson’s team misled them. It was hours after the original even and voting had taken place.
Cruz did not lie about it. Carson did. Carson was using his time running to raise money; he knew he wasn’t going anywhere. he was blowing through the cash.

I watched CNN that day, and they did say that Carson was going home...that it looked like he was quitting. CNN’s senior reporter tweeted that he was out of the race. What’s funny is that I watched CNN afterwards and they denied they ever said a word about it! Liars. I saw them!
A few days later, I read comments from a poll worker in Iowa, and she said they never got a message from the Cruz campaign workers that Carson was quitting, so no votes were lost for Carson.
