Rep. Steve King is taking heat for what he posted on Twitter during the caucuses Monday night about Ben Carson.

King, the Cruz campaigns national co-chair, retweeted CNNs Chris Moody about Carson’s break from the campaign trail before New Hampshire’s primary.

Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope, King tweeted. In another tweet, the congressman said Carson’s next steps were equivalent of suspending.

Hopefully King takes the place of Chuck Grassley when he retires.

Cruz all ready apologied to Carson for the error. This is a dead horse issue

[kimoajax]

“High-Jinks” occur with every campaign - which admittedly doesn’t excuse or make it right. That said, however, most often it turns out to be a mistake for the offended party to make too much of it, as it makes them appear as some sort of cry baby.

On Laura Ingraham this am, he said he did it because he thought the Carson caucusers deserved to know. His motives were altruistic, dontchaknow.

This fiasco stinks to high heaven.

[tennmountainman]

King should retire.
Sooner than later.

Then we have the issue with the illegal mailer

Not for trumpies and the GOP-e and Fox news it isn’t over yet- they will likely harp on this till November- They still bring up the lie that Cruz was for amnesty

[dynoman]

They could have confirmed it Carson instead of running with a lie. Can you imagine how Carson's wife felt;

"Carson told Fox News his wife, Candy, had to correct the misinformation at one event.

"She spoke at one of the caucus sites and before she got there one of the Cruz people had again disseminated that information to the crowd," he said. "And one of the organizers told her 'I'm so glad you're here, so you could set the record straight.' And she did and we actually won in that precinct."

“This fiasco stinks to high heaven.”

CNN Set up. They were trolling for a Republican and Cruz’s team took the bait.

Totally the fault of the Cruz campaign. Nowhere in that video does anyone say Carson was dropping out of the race. It is beyond irresponsible for another campaign to make such an assumption and then send that false information out to their precinct leaders to be used to try and sway votes.

[justlittleoleme]

“15 minutes BEFORE caucus doors opened, CNN was dropping hints that Carson might be dropping out and was not going to NH or SC.”

Regardless even though I don’t think it was his fault he apologized for it today.

[Souled_Out]

Slime defended by weasel answers.

[pax_et_bonum]

Agree.

And I don’t respect defending or excusing this behavior.

[justlittleoleme]

“Carson said Tuesday he accepted the apology, but questioned whether there was a deeper “cultural issue” with Cruz’s campaign.”

[Solson]

This just proves that Cruz is nothing more than a typical politician. At least with Trump we have transparency not a guy who wears jeans and looks uncomfortable as hell in them ....because he thinks it might identify better with voters.

Fake fake fake.

[stratboy]

It does not matter, Saint Ted can do no wrong. Nothing to see here, now move along to what Trump said in 1987. That relevant.
