Ping to 24.

“So the Cruz campaign acknowledges sending out the letter to the precinct captains, at least one of which then gave a copy of the letter to CNN - the source for the claim cited in the letter.”

Not a hoax if the Cruz campaign acknowledges it.

Seems like Cruz is the desperate one - to pull a dirty status quo political move like that.

You are quoting a comment from this discussion. You are not quoting from anything the Cruz campaign has said.

You still fail to provide evidence that this hoax photoshopped letter is the real deal.

Sincerely, can you not tell that the font for “Don” is different from the rest of the letter? And can you sincerely not see the white blocks in the image? Maybe you need to adjust your screen or get glasses or something.

Cruz ANNOUNCED at his caucus that Carson was dropping out? According to a TWEET?

except that CNN BROADCAST it prior...that’s where the cruz camp got their info.

And when carson complained he NEVER it was Cruz himself, but his captains.

If you’re gonna judge a man , at least get the facts. However, Cruz today stated that they did tell voters what cnn was reporting about Carson going home. And he DID apologize to Carson for repeating a story that turned out to be false. AGAIN, skipping NH and SC, when you’re where he is financially and in the polls is essentially the same as dropping out. EVERYONE knows this.

Also, many iowans are saying all the other candidate’s captains were reporting the cnn story also.

Or rush to judgement before all the facts come out. Whatever.

And the votes that went to the other guys because their captains were saying the same thing?

That’s not exactly what cruz said and the NERVE of CNN to twist his words after they started this whole thing by not verifying sources.

Do you have a link for the claim that other campaigns mentioned the CNN report as well?

Try it again - in English this time. Or, if you prefer, Russian, German, French or Spanish.

You still fail to provide evidence that the letter CNN and Carson referred to is a hoax.

Now he is desperately trying to blame anyone who reported this.

And now that we know who it was, he is vindicated..........

Stick with the MSM, they're on your team.......

Ihink I read that he has a book signing in Florida in a couple of weeks. Probably a business trip. Not a very good planner.

You sure don't have to be a brain surgeon to know you need extra clothes.

Not fake. The e-mail was sent.

First on CNN: Ted Cruz apologizes to Ben Carson
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3391912/posts

From the article;

“Cruz Iowa staffer Spence Rogers also suggested in an email to precinct captains that Carson may be announcing the end of his campaign next week.

“Breaking News. The press is reporting that Dr. Ben Carson is taking time off from the campaign trail after Iowa and making a big announcement next week,” the email read. “Please inform any Carson caucus goers of this news and urge them to caucus for Ted Cruz.”

The only thread that got zapped was the one with this link. I searched and didn’t see it. Why would Cruz apologize if he hadn’t done anything wrong?

BWAAAHAHAHAHA yourself!
