SC Congressman: Ted Cruz’s Campaign Spreading “Outright Lies”

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."

Use the good eyes God gave you and read aloud the signature at the bottom of that post: “Trey Gowdy Prayers.” Not “Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC).” Quit trying to twist this into something it is not.

Correct... Just stall and hope everyone forgets it over time. Then election time,tell your constituents how you investigated blaa blaa blaa. Anyone who endorses a GOPe, who is loved by the butt kissing media, is no constitutionalist.

“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.”
*****************************************************************
I think the latter. Gowdy, even in physical appearance, is the classic PIN-HEAD.

I know you can do this for us. Tell us what Watergate was. Be very specific . Start with the the actual decision makers and then list the names of the culprits. Then tell us the target. Then tell us the results. We appreciate someone who knows so much about Nixon. Spare us no detail. We hang on every word Mr. Rather

OK FRiend.

Here is a link to Nixon’s speech denying he was not involved in the coverup of Watergate.

It was a lie.

Gowdy isn’t running for reelection. Most likely he is going to k street. So he is pandering to the Pro Amnesty establishment. Building his creds for next year.

He’ll probably open a Lobbying firm, him and Rubio called Frick and frack the film flam screw yeah ma’am twins.

They’ll specialize in representing Criminal Invading hoards and the Chamber of Commerce.

I haven’t seen anything to suggest that Cruz’s campaign had anything to do with the fake site

If there was any doubt about Gowdy throwing the Benghazi hearings, this action reveals his real character.
