Just heard from my wife, “Steve King just fell on his sword to Laura Ingraham. He said Cruz and his people didn’t know but told us [radio listeners that his source was] a [Tweet] from CNN saying Ben was skipping NH and SC”

So, apparently, Congressman Steve King (R-IA4 and Cruz campaign national co-chair) saw opportunity in a Tweet from CNN and took a short ride on the Stupid Train. (And now, the consequences...)

So was there a real Tweet from CNN? Was it bait? This is kind of like calling pass interference on a pass that was completely uncatchable.

There’s some suspect timing in all this, and other suspect stuff. I’m trying to sort it out. You can see what I’m finding in my latest posts, and if you know how to figure out the time of tweets could help me figure out when the CNN tweet was corrected to say that Carson would still be campaigning.

Newgeezer was a speaker on Cruz’s behalf at his caucus location, and he did not receive communications from Cruz. Hopefully with his help we can figure out who did this. From what I’ve seen, it seems like sabotage coordinated/carried out by a dem or Rubio operative and CNN. It seems like Steve King rose to the bait around 5pm, saying people should let Carson supporters know he’s dropping out, but Cruz didn’t so there was a CNN clip on-air at 6:45 followed by a 7pm tweet by a FAKE Ted Cruz account. Steve King has admitted that he tweeted about the CNN claim, but Cruz denies that his campaign had anything to do with it, which seems to be corroborated by what newgeezer has said.

Is there a way to find out what a specific individual has donated to a campaign?
