"Last night when our political team saw the CNN post saying Dr. Carson was not carrying on to New Hampshire and South Carolina, our campaign updated the grassroots leaders just as we would with any breaking news story. That's fair game," Cruz said in a statement. "What the team should have done is send around the follow-up statement from the Carson campaign clarifying that he was indeed staying in the race when that came out. That was a mistake from our end, and for that I apologize to Dr. Carson."

So then what exactly did Cruz apologize to Dr. Carson for not doing? That's a rhetorical question BTW.

Fact trumps belief.

Your quote makes your question more pointless than rhetorical. Cruz apologized for a mistake, not for a dirty trick. Carson wasn’t even close to winning and his supporters were unlikely to switch to Trump.
