Actually they pretty much hinted he was dropping out. It was released by CNN shortly before voting started.
Cruz's folks grabbed this info and didn't check it thoroughly enough. That was the mistake they made. But they didn't create this out if thin air.
They saw a report by CNN that indicated Carson may be taking a time out. No serious candidate takes a time out; right before an important primary.
I didn’t say they created it, but they certainly embellished it to their own advantage.
And when CNN clarified the story, Cruz kept going with his own version.
And when Mrs. Carson corrected them at a caucus they still kept going.
That was the problem. Typical dirty politician.
I haven’t put the Rove piece up side by side with the fact check piece also posted on FR, BUT the Rove piece seems to be a lot more opinion than the fact check piece and it also leaves out much that is included in the fact check piece.
Here is fact check or timeline of where Cruz people got their info and also that the Rubio people were also involved although no one mentions that. ??
