Ben Carson is calling on Ted Cruz to fire anybody on his campaign allegedly involved in spreading the misinformation that the retired neurosurgeon had suspended his campaign before the Iowa caucuses.
"If Ted Cruz doesn't know about this, then he clearly needs to very quickly get rid of some people in his organization," Carson told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday. "And if he does know about it, isn't this the exact kind of thing that the American people are tired of? Why would we want to continue that kind of, you know, shenanigans?"

Re: “Bible thumpers not held in high regard”
I’ve said it before with regards to Teddy et al. In my long years of experience the ones who bleat, blat, beller and bray about THEIR Christianity are usually trying to dissuade you from actually DO.
BTTT!
Some on twitter have said that msnbc announced Carson dropping last night too.
BTTT!
I just read 68. I don’t see what Cruz did as wrong. ‘Course, I think they were just stating what anyone paying attention was thinking. Especially after what Carson said.
Its definitely not dirty tricks, at least to me.
“Even Ben Carson, who has been averse to much of the hand-to-hand combat that now defines the GOP race, has gotten involved: His business adviser and often-spokesman, Armstrong Williams, said on CNN on Thursday that Cruz, like Trump, was not an “authentic” evangelical Christian.”
This is old news.
“I’ve lost all respect for Ted Cruz. I really don’t know what I’ll do if he wins the nomination. I’d rather this nation go to hell under the watch of a Democrat than a Republican.”
I was thinking the same thing this morning. In the last few weeks, I’ve gone from “Ted Cruz is the only other person on that stage I could vote for” to “... Oh, guess I can’t vote for HIM, either.”
If he’s the nominee, I’ll stay home. As you said - let the country go to hell under Hillary. I’d like to say that history will blame the Democrats - but that isn’t true, since the Democrats control that, too. I guess it’ll all be Bush’s fault... or something.
Sigh.
That’s not Cruz’s Twitter. That’s just someone using the name “Ted Cruz 2016”.
All it proves is how shallow Trump is...insinuate Carson has the pathology of a child molester.
Dirty tricks indeed. Not Godly at all.
These are really unbelievable tactics in which I never thought Cruz would be involved.
No kidding. Equally unbelievable are the wild contortions people here are going though to try and explain them away. Pretty amazing, and sad.
Is Carson suspending his campaign again to promote another book tour, or did he really go home to get some clean clothes?
It sure isn’t Christ-like behavior.
“Why would we want to continue that kind of, you know, shenanigans?”
Because he wants to win Ben.
LOL!
Because of what Cruz and his campaign did, Carson dropping out is probably now off the table.
It wasn’t just Cruz’s camp. Other well known Conservatives were spreading word because they heard, from Carson’s camp, he was jumping the state for some “clean clothes”. Aren’t there washers and dryer in Iowa? Stores at which one could buy clothes? I believe many people can be forgiven for jumping the gun and making that assumption. Who leaves in the middle of a big caucus, one which you are a part of, to jet home for clean clothes. Is this a SDA thing?
I wonder if Levin, Rush, and Hannity will say anything about it.
Who is carson blaming? He needs to get his story straight. First, he blamed the media for the false report last night, then now he claims cruz made it up. Can’t have it both ways
