From Ted Cruz Facebook
I think we are seeing a lot of fake postings to use as ammunition for other campaigns. It was funny how Trump talks about Robot calling then suddenly one which reports to be from a polling place is used for ammunition yet nobody can confirm where it was from.
I have seen a lot of Twitter posts on FB that claim one quote but if you hunt it down, the area it was suppose to be from says something else.
Example one Trump person on FR put up this quote today on one of our threads.

Looks like a legit Twitter quote.
But I search down the article it is from and this is the actual quote from a Buzzfeed article.
QUOTE: “think he’s going to be talking about issues that could appeal to African Americans — like trade,” Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions told BuzzFeed News. “So I think there could be support for him there.” END QUOTE
Notice that Sessions for one is not saying vote for Trump because he will draw in the black vote. Polling shows that few candidates have lower positive views of Trump, than Trump. The original article goes to great lengths to enforce that. Also notice that Sessions says basically nothing .... that “maybe” Trumps position on Trade would help, maybe not. It was like he was trying to say something that meant nothing. It certainly wasn’t as stated a Twitter worthy statement for someone to support Trump.
To be fair, I have also seen Cruz FB things that I could not verify. Pictures of suppose-able Twitter sayings that did not link to an actual responsible web site (just a picture, no link to verify the quote). I wanted the saying to be true (as I am a Cruz fan), but I could not verify it so why pass it on as fact?
Anyhoo, be careful this election year. Lots of misinformation out there.
