***Jumping to conclusions serves ONLY the purposes that crap like this is trying to accomplish***
And I’m sorry, but how is it jumping to conclusions to quote a Cruz Campaign Spokesperson? Or to see the email they sent with my own eyes? They didn’t deny it, just like they didn’t deny the mailer.
A lot of people are trying to justify his (Cruz) behavior when he is not. He said he was not sorry and did not deny the mailer, meanwhile some people on here are trying to blame, Trump, Rubio, etc. Now you and others are trying to justify this, blame CNN, but his campaign is not denying it, in fact, her comment was snarky and condescending, much like many others in the GOP.
You are claiming that Cruz’s campaign lied. That means they knew that they were telling an untruth. How can you know that? How can you know what they were told?
I’m not talking about the mailers. I think they’re tacky but apparently the IA Republican Party has sent these things out in the past and there was no outcry so maybe IA is used to this stuff. I don’t know.
What I’m talking about is this instance, where Cruz’s campaign repeated what CNN had reported, and now people here -in the name of Christ - are saying Cruz is a sleazy, un-Christian creep who deliberately lied to try to get votes. I’m just saying that maybe you folks are doing the same thing that you accuse him of doing: you’re believing what you’re told without checking out the facts.
And at this point I should say that it might not have been Rubio’s people either. It could be that Carson told CNN he was shutting down shop after the IA caucus but then when it was reported he realized that wasn’t fair to his supporters. Maybe he didn’t think CNN would report it. Again, I don’t know. We need to know what Carson actually told CNN and what CNN said to other campaigns. The whole story isn’t out there, but it needs to be investigated - and CNN is right smack dab in the middle of that because at a critical time with no time for their listeners to try to verify the claims, they reported very serious information about Carson’s campaign that Carson denies.
