Yeah, no...I don’t buy that twitter time stamp story at all.
Besides which you admit receiving an email from Cruz at 7pm that urging you to spread the “news” that Carson was dropping out.

After I changed my Twitter setting from Pacific to Central time (to match my email account), everything lines up. Except for the alleged Dan Gabriel tweet, everything below I personally gathered from the original tweets and emails I received:
- Monday, 6:43 PM CST @moody (CNN) tweets "Carson won't go to NH/SC, but instead will head home to Florida for some R&R. He'll be in DC Thursday"
- 6:56 PM Spence Rogers (Cruz campaign) email "Carson Likely to Drop Out"
- 7:05 PM Jason Osborne (Carson campaign) tweets Carson "Not suspending -- getting fresh clothes then back out Wednesday"
- (unconfirmed) 7:07 PM Dan Gabriel (@danpgabriel) tweets "Source inside Ben #Carson's NH campaign just CONFIRMED to me: @RealBenCarson is OUT" (allegedly tweeted & since deleted)
- 7:08 PM @CNN tweets "After the #IAcaucus, @RealBenCarson plans to take a break from campaigning" (tinyurl.com/j8pbmo8)
- 7:13 PM Spence Rogers (Cruz campaign) email "CNN Reporting Ben Carson Will Stop Campaigning After Iowa"
- 7:19 PM Steve King tweets Carson is "Skipping NH & SC is the equivalent of suspending"
- 7:20 PM Steve King tweets "Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote."
- Tuesday, 2:09 PM: Steve King tweets "I respect Ben Carson & regret any miscommunications. Perhaps [his] supporters r unaware of this CNN story tinyurl.com/j8pbmo8"
I post what I believe to be true. Whether you want to believe, I couldn't care less.
