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.

Shut up and go not prosecute someone Mr. Gowdy.
Ever hear of implied persuasion?
“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.”
Read that very last sentence. Gowdy the Beghazi caped crusader implies a great deal in that very last sentence. Now tie it all together and viola! We have ourselves a persuasive statement that implies Cruz had something to do with this.
Eh, he’s not a liberal. I think it’s reasonable to question whether he’s really a conservative, but he’s not a liberal. He’s probably like most of us, pragmatic, with some conservative leanings gained through years of experience with the failures of the liberal alternatives. But not an ideologue. Fine by me.
I supported his senate run because of SarahPac, since then less and less....
If little Marco can't put on his big guy Cowboy boots and fight to win, whose fault is it????
To quote Bill Bennett, "Politics ain't beanbag!"
Obviously, Marco grew up where gamers weren't played to win, where everyone got a trophy!
He reminds me of the 30 year old who gets hired by a large corporation, then wonders when the founder is going to step down and give him his office!!
Marco, you got elected by lying to your Florida voters then turned and played with Schumer and Obama. Now you want out of the Senate 'cause you have to show up and vote occasionally so you're running for President, well it's a contest where the big guys play to win or don't play at all!
Instead we get to see the Cruz campaign go all defensive.
Yes we know Trump is winning and that’s all that needs said and all that matters. We already know this.
Too funny....thanks for sharing.
No, anyone that supports Mr. Amnesty, Pathway to Citizenship, Marco Rubio is GOPe toad.
Why is he winning?
Haha! I too must mind wipe immediately and get back to the business of holding reps accountable. But damnitt if I don’t fight like hell along the way!
:-)
That may be, but it doesn’t mean that he’s not correct in calling out Cruz’s dirty politics.
You lack common sense in choosing a candidate but you have a great vocabulary.
Yes he is winning I hear it every 5 minutes from he himself lol
I will never vote for Ted Cruz in any way, shape or form.
Lying piece of crap.
Populism and a bad 8 years is a powerful force to be reckoned with ;-)
My guess is Rubio team build a closed facebook page just so they could pass the blame on Cruz.
Gowdy was on Fox before the debate discussing Scalia, got to talking about Rubio support, and actually said Cruz was wrong to go after Rubio on Immigration. Gowdy know Rubio sponsored the amnesty bill and he and Cruz were against it.
I think Cruz is gaining ground. This seems to be the method they all use in fighting for the top slot... huge sighs
I agree. Go do your work Trey!I so used to respect him. Not any more.
