This week, Ted Cruz fired his communications director for putting out a video claiming that Marco Rubio had made a disparaging comment about the Bible to Cruz's father and staffer. But this is just one of several in a web of Cruz lies, Seth Meyers outlined on Tuesday's "Late Night."
Cruz came in third this past weekend in South Carolina, even losing evangelical voters to Donald Trump, so he's already starting out the week in a bad mood. Then the video controversy happened and Cruz quickly sacked the staffer who then went on Fox News to try and explain himself. He cited the Daily Pennsylvanian as his source for the transcript, claiming that the college paper is standing by the transcript.
"The bigger problem for Cruz: This scandal is just the latest in a series of incidents that have given his campaign a reputation for having low ethical standards," Meyers explained. "As you may remember, Cruz first got that reputation after his campaign spread false information about Ben Carson in Iowa to steal some of Carson's voters."
Even weeks later, this disgrace continues to follow Cruz around. He even requested a meeting with Carson to try and smooth things over. The only way they could get a private meeting, however, is to have it in a storage closet. "That's right, Cruz and Carson met inside of a storage closet. A moment I'm sure both of them, as anti-gay rights advocates immediately regretted when they realized that eventually they would have to come out of the closet, together," Meyers said. According to reports, Secret Service agents stood outside the door confirming the meeting saying, "yeah, they're in the closet."

Thankfully there are quite a few of us who still know what natural born citizen means.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Obama told us he was born a British Subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
Rubio and Cruz think they should get away with it because Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama got away with it.
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Chrurchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
First HuffPo, then The Nation, Then Mother Jones, now notorious libtard Seth Meyers.
You sure have great sources supporting Trump and bashing Cruz. The mask is off, liberal.
http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/international/239750-ted-cruz-joins-the-establishment
Establishment, globalist advocates published what will go down as the most disingenuous, deceitful and outright dishonest promotional piece on behalf of the so-called fast-track trade authority that could have been written. Authored by establishment GOP Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and heretofore âconservativeâ Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the op-ed in The Wall Street Journal is a compilation of talking points and slick dodges. It is textbook propaganda that would make the disinformation experts of the KGB blush.
Also CRuz voted for the Corker bill which allows Iran to build nuclear weapons to nuke the USA

Correction. Article was by Sarah K. Burris, quoting Seth Meyers.
Going to be interesting to see how much play some of these sources not typically seen here get once the election-and their usefulness-is over.
I just heard Trump propose changing the libel laws so he can sue media and other politicians, like Rubio, for criticizing him. He’s jumping the shark.
When will you be posting opinion from the harpies on The View?
you really got it in for Cruz just WOW :)
trump admits buying politicians, wont release his taxes, and people are sick of “politicians”
that’s precious.
trump would sell out his mother if it could make him a buck.
good luck with him
I don’t watch many Trump rallys, but I had that one on yesterday, and couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He was talking about changing the laws so people would be unable to print stories critical of him. And people were actually cheering! A move towards making it illegal to criticize politicians, like North Korea, and the idiots in the audience were cheering. Effing lunacy.
Awesome!
Thank you so much for these videos....every single American needs to see these and judge for themselves what type of people this group is.
Seth Meyers...conservative stalwart.
Yeah. Sethy “crushed” someone.
Stupid blogs.
Because Trump.
...and Seth will say anything to get a laugh...
Seth Meyers couldn’t crush an ant with his shoe.
They have very strong political beliefs, but on many issues, they're still waiting for Donald to fill them in on what those beliefs are.
It's sad, really. I knew some of them to be principled at one time. Now they cheer when he says he's going to outlaw criticism of himself.
I think most conservatives are willing to vote for anything but a loser.
