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."

“I’m very pro-Trump, but Seth Meyers as a source? I’ll take him seriously only after he does a piece on Hillary’s many lies.”
But...I think it’s only an hour-long show.
It must have been Cruz’s mommy who filled out his Bar Exam because he never knew he was Canadian until a few months ago.
No, Trump proposes changing the laws so that the media can be sued for libel. Big difference!
‘m very pro-Trump, but Seth Meyers as a source? I’ll take him seriously only after he does a piece on Hillary’s many lies.
Yep, what’s up with listening to liberal comedians taking pot shots at Republican politicians???? I am eager for the day they give equal time and take pot shots at Democrats.
Are there any mainstream conservative or moderate comedians?? Do you have to be liberal to be a stand up comic nowadays????
The law already allows you to sue the media for libel. Trump wants to make it easier, which could have a chilling effect on legitimate criticism. It’s a bad idea, IMHO.
Rubio was super jealous of that closet meeting.
He had it by then. He got his American docs at age 16.
But I do feel that the optics are bad for a president not being legally, provably American until age 16. My dad wasn’t much older when he was naturalized. That is a long time. Not as long as our current Pres, who was in his 40s when the US Senate conferred a passport upon him.
I guess actually BEING American is overrated for candidates.
I guess Letterman will be throwing his support to y'all next.
Dennis Miller is an example.
Don’t get more un-pc than Jeff Dunham.
Nice to hear.
I pretty much have given up watching stand up comics or late night shows, because they all seem to push liberalism. The jokes are from a liberal point of view, and you have to be liberal to think they are funny.
Ditto for shows like tomorrow’s Oscars. The jokes will all be jokes for which you have to be liberal to understand or think they are funny. No thanks.
Good Lord can you be even more a teenager? Arguing over a pulled thread which was probably lies against Trump not lies proved that Cruz lies. See the difference? Trump gets lies thrown at him. Cruz lies constantly.
What? Why are you being nasty? That is not in your nature normally.
You are right and I should temper myself.
Something about her and showing up shilling for Trump irks me.
Apolgies.
Here is where she started to actually post, after she was dormant for (4) years and was all Trump. Based on what then?:
