Where is your verification that Rubio was spreading the rumor? I won’t be impressed if it’s something a few supporters picked up from the Cruz crowd or if it wasn’t a coordinated initiative.
Twitter screenshots exist.
When the CNN reporter Chris Moody said that Carson was quitting first hit twitter, both Trump and Rubio’s camps took part in it, but later deleted the tweets. (there ARE screen shots) Carson’s own communication director said after it was discovered there was a rumor, that it was ‘false media reports’... but then Carson’s ‘dirty politics’ remark hit the airwaves and everyone jumped on Cruz... not Trump or Rubio... who both tried to cover up their part in it by deleting tweets, Rubio even went on air and lied saying he’d ‘never’ do such a thing. The ONLY stand up guy in ALL this is Cruz, who admitted his people made a mistake and apologized.
