Carson: Cruz^s attitude towards what he did in Iowa reminds me of Hillary attitude towards Benghazi

Cruz should have held his campaign staff accountable for spreading bad information just like Hillary should have held State Department staff accountable for not stopping jihadi savages from murdering Americans.

Asked by Todd Starnes if he was satisfied with the way Sen. Cruz has handled himself as Christian over the incident in Iowa, Carson said, Well, let me put it this way, it is not the way that I would have handled it.

I would make sure that it did not happen again, Carson continued. And I would take corrective action. Not to take corrective action is tacitly saying it is okay, or it is sort of like, as Hillary Clinton said after Benghazi, what difference does it make.

The media will NEVER let go off a republican caught doing the slightest crime. Like another poster said above, the blood is in the water, the sharks smell the blood, and the feeding frenzy has just begun.

Trying to steal voters from another candidate may not be serious crime in your rule book. That crime can prevent a candidate from being elected president and alter history.

The Cruz camp (and the Rubio camp for that matter) thought that Carson was dropping out, based on Jake Tapper and CNN tweets.

Thinking that Carson voters would be looking for a new candidate, Cruz and Rubio's camps both worked to pick up those voters.

Serious crime?

Now, Trump, knowing that Carson will eventually drop out, given the trajectory of his campaign, is doing his best to sour Carson supporters against Cruz by alleging vote fraud against Cruz. Trump is thinking that Carson voters will be looking for a new candidate and is working to draw them to him as opposed to Cruz.

Serious crime?

Why did Ted Cruz APOLOGIZE to Dr carson if there was no crime? Innocent person rarely apologizes.

Attempting to change history is extremely serious.
But it all depends on the character of those doing the dirty deeds. Burglars are seldom consumed by remorse.

Trump has already moved on from the Carson quitting rumor episode. Now Cruz will be dealing with the sharks in the media. They have smelled blood in the water. We all know what is coming next.

CORRECT !

The thing is, Cruz has NEVER been under any kind of REAL scrutiny ever before. Neither has he EVER had to take the fire, as he did during the last debate and failed, FAILED MISERABLY/couldn't handle it.

For a supposedly "brilliant" man, Cruz keeps making really stupid errors/moves and puts himself in positions he is going to find untenable...if not criminal/prosecutable.

Crime of spreading false rumors about another candidate.
May be in your book, that is no crime. May be that is standard operating procedure in your rule book.

Read it again. It wasn’t rumor. It was speculation. Stop lying about what was done. It is immoral.

Lying about Carson!

Show me the lie. Oh wait, we've been at this same point two days ago. And here we are two days later. And still no evidence. I guess that makes you the liar.

Hahaha splitting hair are we? Spreading rumors or wink-wink nod-nod spread around speculation to potential voters!

It is good Trump has moved on. Let the media handle it from now on.

No, it makes YOU ,look as benighted and blinkered as you truly are.

Crason's wife, Candy, was at one of the caucuses and heard and saw what a Cruz operative was saying and doing; for one. Though I'm assuming that you will now claim that she is the one lying, I know that she isn't, since I have seen the proof that this whole DIRTY TRICK was done.

That’s true and Carson is angry and isn’t going to let this go.

I see you still are unable to come up with the lie quote. Since it has been several days now, can a reasonable person assume that you made it up?
