Tweets from Chris Hooks apparently in contact with the Carson campaign. Camp Carson claims Team Cruz not only spread false rumors, but even interfered with Carson speakers. Representative Rob Taylor is threatening an ethics investigation. Hooks might be on drugs suggesting Carson is universally loved though:

As if Carson was going to get more than 9% on his best day.

Carson is heading home, but he has not dropped out. Nevertheless, when a candidate heads home, that rumor will spread.

Apparently, he’s just taking a day off the trail to go get some “fresh clothes”.

Trump said he was nasty earlier on. Wonder if the accusation by Carson camp is true.

Cruz was doing this from 5pm on down, apparently, after Carson had already denied this claim.

“Carson’s team claimed that Cruz’s campaign deliberately sent emails to supporters to spread false rumors at caucus sites that Carson had dropped out”

Does anyone have these emails? If true, Cruz is a tool.

Rep King is an honorable man he basically said today trump bought bit name supporters. I dont care. i would be shocked if he didn’t try.

it’s an election and they’re brutal. that’s life

Puny, you cannot accept that your candidate lost, so you repeat an unsubstantiated charge from a third candidate (for plausible deniability).

Typical.

Saw no strange things. Just good hard working Midwest folks wanting to stop the countries slide towards totalitarianism.

Whether he was or he wasn’t going to get more than 9%, if this was done, it was dirty. And if happened at multiple locations, it was coordinated.
