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?"

The Cruz people should have verified their information before acting on it.
So, where is Carson today, and where will be in the next week?
“Nonsense. Trump repeated Carsonâs own words.”

Never heard Carson call himself a “child molester”...that’s news.
It's funny.
Your statement simply means that if Cruz is the nominee, you put your pride and vanity before the needs of the country, and the country loses.
you would vote in such a way to allow Hillary or Sanders become president, because a politician doesn’t live up to what you think he should be?
Grow up. We never get everything we want.
It’s not Cruz’s job to manage Carson’s campaign.
Nobody has a more visceral dislike of Cruz than I do.
But I have to say this is a clear case of Carson not being home to defend his chickens.
I've been looking at Cruz's victory and it's clear he has developed a formidable ground game and is employing all known methods to win.
The message he sent last night was: This is a dog fight. I will do my best to tear your throat away from your neck and leave you bleeding in the streets. No quarter.
There's a bunch of Republicans that have been pining for this. They got it.
Impressive. He's adapted inner city Democrat tactics to a GOP primary.
So, it’s Carson’s fault that Cruz’s people lied?
OK, got it. /facepalm
“Never heard Carson call himself a âchild molesterâ...thatâs news.”
THAT’S A LIE.
Trump never called him that.
Yes, Steve King admitted he sent a tweet.
(CNN)âDonald Trump said Thursday that Ben Carson’s self-described “pathological temper” is incurable — adding that it’s like the sickness of a “child molester.”
“It’s in the book that he’s got a pathological temper,” Trump told “Erin Burnett OutFront,” speaking about Carson’s autobiography. “That’s a big problem because you don’t cure that ... as an example: child molesting. You don’t cure these people. You don’t cure a child molester. There’s no cure for it. Pathological, there’s no cure for that.”

I have been involved in political campaigns before... dirty tricks happen when there are two guys running for dog catcher. The only thing that makes this one feel different is that Ted has really gone all out with his holiness routine, to the point where many people actually believe he is sincere. Ted says all the right stuff but even some of his followers are starting to figure out why he makes the hair stand up on the back of their neck.
Cruz’s people didn’t lie.
Sounds like a Clinton.
Cannot be trusTED.

Thank you for proving my point. Trump did not call Carson a “child molester.” He merely said that people don’t get over pathological behavior (which is how Carson described himself), and used child molesting as an example.
Looks like Cruz re-tweeted a CNN story, complete with screenshot. that’s about the size of it.
I saw that same thing where I was eating dinner last night before Iowa started.
The place I was eating at had CNN on.
Or maybe he did better than he expected to?
The thing that makes me mad is that Cruz is running as the ‘moral’ candidate. The ‘conservative’ candidate. The ‘g-dly’ candidate.
That’s what his supporters are saying that they like the man.
So when he pulls dirty Clinton tricks like this crap, what are his supporters really voting for?
Slip a blade right between the shoulder blades of your fellow Christian, then thank Jesus in your speech right after...
That’s so slimy.
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.
If I was a Carson supporter, I WOULD NOT listen to what the news or anyone said. I WOULD CHECK IT OUT MYSELF. So if his supporters believed it then it is their problem.
