Cruz’s communications guy who he “fired” took the bullet for the boss. Bosses like that expect that. Someone had to be the fall guy. All the fired guy was doing was following orders and the organizational culture and probably the direct orders from Cruz. So afterwards, when this dirty trick was caught (wonder how many HAVEN’T been caught, since we know of about 20 by now, dirty tricks, and epic lies) someone had to fall on his sword-—certainly not the boss. But rather someone had to be the patsy. The dude wasn’t really fired or asked to resign. Get a grip.
Ok. so he was not fired. He was thrown under the bus because the boss screwed up this from the most ethical evangelical of them all!
