Let me explain to you how things are created. Somebody puts in a purchase order with either the vendor or a third party (who in turn places order with vendor). Somebody designs them, and somebody decides what they are to say, and somebody puts the layout and words together, then somebody proofs them and approves the layout and wording and they go to press. Nobody calls a “vendor” and says “make me a mailer” which then gets sent out. Because no vendor is going to create something without a PO which says who and how it gets paid for, etc etc. Since these types of mailers cost about $4 (according to MoveOn.org’s previous mailings of this type) you can bet when you are spending that type of money, someone makes the suggestion to do it which is approved by campaign leadership and someone then has the authority to spend that money.
“approved by campaign leadership”
It WAS approved by campaign leadership and has been admitted to. Cruz’s Communications Director approved it. His name is Rick Tyler and he said he approved it.
There is no mystery, Cruz didn’t know, etc. If that were true, Cruz would be out there stating such. But he isn’t.
