Last week nasty anti-Trump robocalls started running in South Carolina. Donald Trump accused the Cruz camp of being behind the calls.
Of course, Senator Cruz denied having anything to do with the ads.
But it was a lie.
And now there is proof that a Cruz PAC is behind the nasty anti-Trump and anti-Rubio robocalls.
The Washington Post reported:
Natalie Barrett, a 53-year-old schoolteacher from Westminster, got a robo-call earlier this month and ended up furious.
It started off simple enough, an automated man’s voice asking her age and gender, then quizzing her on which Republican candidates she liked. But when she selected Sen. Marco Rubio as one of her choices, she said, things got nasty.
“That’s when he said, ‘Did you know that Marco Rubio and the Gang of Eight are for amnesty?’” she recalled in a phone interview. “And then the gentleman said he’s for letting 11 million illegal immigrants stay in the U.S. and that he was for letting Syrians cross the borders freely.”
Barrett said she found the call — which continued to say negative things about Rubio before taking shots at Donald Trump for being a supporter of eminent domain — to be “negative” and “unfair,” but she couldn’t figure out right away who it was from. The voice said the poll was conducted by some place called Remington Research.
She told her Rubio-supporting friend about the call; her friend told the campaign. They said they knew exactly what Remington Research was: a consulting firm started by Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe.
“These tactics are becoming all too common in this race and indicative of our opponents’ campaigns that are willing to say or do anything to win an election,”

well getting in his way isn’t working out so well.
Anyhow, when things get this bad, a common prophetic exhortation is to look to works of kindness from the heart.
Conservatives and liberals have been uncomfortably close to being in the same boat. Conservatives have said let the wretched take care of themselves; liberals have said let Caesar take care of the wretched. Both are recipes for disaster.
LOL!

The picture you posted of the Cruz campaign text from the night of the Iowa caucus is 100% truthful.
Carson did stop campaigning after Iowa. FACT!
Conservatives should coalesce around the true conservative in for the long haul - Cruz. FACT!
You Trumpanzees are sure loosely tied to reality.
That would be a violation of FEC campaign law.
What part of independent do you not understand?
Who said I’m a Cruz Christian? Or even a Christian for that matter?
I’m pretty sure most on here would lose that ;-)
But I see you’re from the school of Trump bragging makes you a winner.
I’m more modest than that. But if you like to PM, we can compare.
Are they in control of any thing? Last I checked the McConnell and Ryan are the ones you have to make deals with...unless he plans on working around the Republicans and working only with the minority.
Any idea why it got removed? It was harmless, not a personal attack, and was pretty much just repeating what Trump has said.
As opposed to Trump who uses taxpayer money to pay off his debts. He takes loses and goes bankrupt. Writes it off on his taxes and the taxpayer covers it. Meanwhile he’s sure to get his money out of it.
You Cruz, you luz.
“You need to quit cheating and win the debate on the issues honorably.”.......
Honorably? These are politicians were talking about and “honor” isn’t in their playbook.
Not if enough true conservatives wake up to the fact that Trump is a potentially very dangerous phony. With that fool out of the way, Cruz could easily defeat Hillary or Sanders.
You just accused most Trump supporters of having the education of a second grader. Just wanted to set the record straight.
CNN on their Twitter page posted it for 1 minute and quickly retracted and corrected it.
The Cruz camp ran with it for almost 4 hours.
It was dirty tricks and everyone including the Canadian Cruz knows it.
Cruz has a good voting record in the Senate, but Goldman Sachs and Citibank has him in their pocket.
You Cruzbots live in fantasy land.
Based on their childish antics I think I may have been a bit too generous even...maybe 1st grade education.
So their job is to watch for retractions and when articles disappear?
Yeah right. So when Christi dropped out did you continue to look for stories saying he really didn’t drop out?
Based on the behavior of the Trump supporters I’m thinking they aren’t truly conservative. So trying to get them to vote conservative is a waste. There’s a good chance many will vote for Hillary or even Bernie before they’d vote for Cruz.
No idea. I hope they haven’t started choosing sides.
