Gowdy calls for Cruz to denounce 'underhanded tactics'
The Washington Examiner ^ | 2/16/2016 | AL WEAVER

Posted on 02/16/2016 12:38:53 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Trey Gowdy, a South Carolina congressman who supports Marco Rubio, called for Ted Cruz to repudiate the most recent bit of "underhanded tactics" ahead of the South Carolina primary.

"In the last week, we have seen a systematic effort by Sen. Cruz and his allies to spread false information and outright lies in the hopes of winning votes by appealing to our lowest common denominator," Gowdy said. "Now, Its been reported that a fake Facebook page has been used to fool South Carolinians into thinking that I no longer support Marco Rubio and that I'm instead supporting Ted Cruz.

"Nothing could be further from the truth and I'm demanding that Sen. Cruz and his campaign repudiate these dishonest and underhanded tactics," Gowdy continued. "We can have a debate about the future of our party and our country. But we need not leave our integrity behind."

In the Facebook post at hand by a page titled "Trey Gowdy Prayers," it says that the most recent debate "revealed [Rubio's] total lack of integrity, intillect and foresight," before switching the faux endorsement to Cruz.

Re>What is Cruz doing???

Cruz seems like a good man surrounded by idiots. Beck was what really put me off of him.

But Gowdy won't take any action against Hillary?

Is Gowdy working to get Hillary elected?

Sounds like he’s pissing off every other candidate, just like he’s done in the Senate. And probably everywhere else, he is a nasty narcissistic guy.

UPDATE (3:24 p.m.): Responding to Gowdy’s comments, Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler criticized the Rubio surrogate for “throwing around wild accusations without any evidence whatsoever,” pointing specifically to the Facebook page, which he said the Cruz campaign had nothing to do with

“This is called a smear campaign, and it’s beneath the dignity of a sitting member of the House of Representatives,” Tyler said before asking, “does the Marco Rubio campaign really believe it’s going to smear it’s way to victory?”

I suppose they think by the time everyone figures it out it will be too late.

The man is desperate and it shows. Really bizarre.

Quit griping Trey.

Sit down and X out each remaining day of your serving as my U.S. House Representative. One day at a time.

RoBo calls Trump mentioned in the debates

Act like a Pollster then try trash that person and start selling Cruz.

Ever notice it's always Cruz accused of playing dirty

That’s what Cruz did in Iowa too?

I'm waiting for the Cruz team to appoint a new campaign adviser. Maybe Al Newman.

Gowdy has no choice but to stand with Rubio, he is their boy and he will play ball, the thiefdom will remain in place. Now Cruz or Trump, and well the game just might be over, and soon.

“Is Gowdy working to get Hillary elected? “ Of course he is. They don’t want anyone who would go against the democrats, et alone the gop-e. He’s had plenty of time to crucify her and we have bupkiss.

I have yet to see a Ted Cruz supporter say “Wow, I wish Ted hadn’t done that.” with regard to Ted’s repeated lies he’s been caught red handed telling.

Not a single one.

Then they flame out with opuses and accuse everyone else of drinking koolaid.

It’s going to be ugly around here on Saturday night. I feel bad for them.
