TREY GOWDY BLASTS CRUZ CAMPAIGN FOR "SYSTEMATIC EFFORT ... TO SPREAD FALSE INFORMATION"
The notion that U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is running a dirty campaign picked up steam this week in early-voting South Carolina - widely regarded as the home of dirty political tricks.
There, U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy - who is supporting the campaign of U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida - blasted Cruz in no uncertain terms for allegedly mounting a "systematic effort" to spread "false information and outright lies" about his rivals.
"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," Gowdy added, issuing a demand for Cruz to "repudiate these dishonest and underhanded tactics."

Cruz tolerates and encourages out right lies in his campaign. He is not following Christian teachings.
Will it be the Gang of Nine now that Gowdy is onboard?
There's no way he would accuse Cruz of something unless he had evidence, right?
I mean, anyone can create a Facebook page. Why, even a Trump supporter.
Better article still missing one fact, that the Cruz campaign is the one saying it is a fake account. Now Rep Gowdy is entitled to his opinion.
The Facebook account was created in 2014 and not by Cruz.
Trump $$$ buys another soul.
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?"
This is a smear by Rubio's team against Cruz about a facebook page that was created by no telling who. For all we know, somebody from the Trump campaign could have done it.
Will it be the Gang of Nine now that Gowdy is onboard?
******************************************************************
Gowdy showed his true colors long ago when he ran interference for Hillary Clinton on Benghazi (all the while lying to the public about his conservatism). Gowdy is another supposed conservative who has sold his soul to the AMNESTY/OPEN-BORDERS crowd and the Washington cartel.
- Ted Milhouse Cruz
This is a smear by Rubio’s team against Cruz about a facebook page that was created by no telling who. For all we know, somebody from the Trump campaign could have done it.
********************************************************************************
....or someone from the RUBIO CAMPAIGN could have done it — and that may be more likely than Trump’s folks doing it.
projection.
Gowdy, the guy who had info the obama regime was targeting Tea Pary orgs seeking 501c status via the IRS and hasn’t done jack about it...
Its what happens when a candidate finally threatens to upset the establishment's lucrative little gig they've had going for decades now.
So Trey as a former Prosecutor show us your evidence Cruz camp had anything to do with it ...? Weeeeeeeeeeeell?
I’ll wait right here. He will provide it at the same time tRump files his lawsuit.
Ole Trey thinks he’s sitting in his committee chair seat blovating but never accomplishing crap
That is great but I don’t know any Nixon lies.
Situational “truth”?
Still whipping this dead horse? It’s been established that the page was a Trey Gowdy fan page and the owner of the page simply posted that he was changing his vote from Rubio to Cruz. Gowdy assuming this was a smear from Cruz shows he’s either not the brilliant litigator we thought, or he’s deliberately trying to smear Cruz to help is buddy Marco.
“Trump $$$ buys another soul.”
Charlie Daniels needs to go down and win that poor boys soul back!
#17 Oh the irony. A former prosecutor and chairmen of a Congressional Committee investigating Benghazi and the IRS abuses gets schlonged by a Rubio fan that got sick of his crap?
Yeah Trey, way to show us what you are really made of. Ignorant fool!
