Carson: Other campaigns sabotaged us with ‘dirty tricks’
MSNBC ^

Posted on 02/01/2016 9:41:01 PM PST by TigerClaws

Dr. Ben Carson and his campaign accused Sen. Ted Cruz’s team of sabotaging him in the Iowa caucuses Monday night by encouraging Cruz supporters to announce that Carson was dropping out of the race at their caucus sites.

“It was happening all over,” Iowa State Director Ryan Rhodes told MSNBC. “One of the precincts Candy [Carson, the candidate’s wife] walked into, she had to correct the record. She actually walked in, in Ankeny, and gave a speech about no, he’s still in the race and that’s a lie.”

Just went to he twitter account which he doesn’t use very much and it’s not there. Could have been deleted because there are no tweets for the 12 hour span....

He should have known better, if true, or his staff should have...STEVE KING should have. But maybe not since back in July he was a Trump supporter and Palin hit him hard when he comes out for Cruz and then he tweets about Carson being out. Hmmmm.

This is King's tweet - at about 6:40 ET - btw, King was the one who said the other day that palin, falwell, sherrif joe had gotten paid for their endorsements of Trump. Offered no proof, just said he "knows things". I have read several places that Carson is livid...

Retweet to your followers?

@SteveKingIA
 
Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope.

I am not a Carson supporter but he deserved better than this. I hope this gets a lot of media attention but I don’t think it will. Cruz is a stealth establishment candidate, backed by very big money.

Cruz and his media pals have spent the last several days flat out lying about Trump and those who endorse him. The dishonesty of Cruz and the Cruz campaign makes me sick. I shouldn’t be surprised I guess, based on the dishonesty of some Cruz supporters here.

I read a couple different places that Carson was livid. I mean, Steve King, got out there and based on a very questionable report by the media, tried to have Cruz supporters steal Carson's votes.

Carson should be livid. A lesson for all politicians in the future in Iowa. Make sure you have a spokesman in every caucus location to speak out against flat out lies by an opposing candidate.

President Hillary! thanks you for your support.

You've been around since Hoover and you stumbled onto FR last year?

Diehard Republican, you mean GOPe? This diehard conservative is for what is best for America.

Snide remarks do not serve you well. If Cruz is nominated, you might as well have Hillary. There is little, if any, difference.

Fine...King responded to what he heard reported. So what? Any opportunist getting paid to be an opportunist would do the same thing. Life isn't fair, is it? Politics is a nasty sport and as good a man as Ben Carson is, he doesn't have a nasty bone in his body.

To see the embodiment of nasty then look no further than Donald Trump.

Did you read what you just wrote? Any opportunist would do the same thing, life isn’t fair, politics is a nasty sport.

Cruz supporters and Cruz have been preaching for months how he is the only Christian Conservative candidate in the race and suddenly this is all excused with so what?

This has nothing to do with Trump, this has to do with the character or lack of from the Cruz campaign, condoned by the man himself.
