So CNN breaks the “news” that Doc Carson is going to make a speech then leave Iowa for Florida ahead of a snow storm at 6:43pm Central time...more than an hour *after* Rep. Steve King tweets the “news” that Carson is dropping out and a Cruz operative tweets info from inside the Cruz camp he’s quitting.

Anyone besides me see something wrong with that sequence of events?

I think the times are getting mixed up because twitter might show different time zones on the tweets. Some of the tweets were seen on screenshots taken from the computer of a person in a timezone we don’t know, so we don’t know how to adjust it. I was first made aware of that situation by newgeezer, who posted about it earlier. If you look at his posts you can probably find the timeline he came up with, as well as the communications to and from the Cruz campaign to him because he spoke at the caucus on behalf of Cruz’s campaign but was not happy with how things went regarding this Ben Carson issue.

I think Steve King’s tweets were around 7:20 Central time. But if you look at newgeezer’s posts you should see the correct timeline, I think.
