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.
