Iowa Rep Steve King has copped to this, and was a completely understandable reaction to the news Carson was headed home, not to New Hampshire. I heard it on CNN first, based on a CNN reporter’s tweet apparently, which in turn was made to mean more than intended.
Cruz is right; it would be completely normal to pass the news on to your peeps in the field. I refuse to believe Cruz knowlingly distorted this for political advantage. Fire away anti-Cruzers....
And it likely made zero difference in the vote totals. Geraghty at NR reports Carson poll numbers the last 2 months averaged 7.7 %. He received 9.3%.
Yes, Donald your whining is becoming too much.
Cruz would bring out the African American vote for Hillary after this screwing over Nice Dr. Carson.
Trick Dick Cruz showed his true colors.
