The lie was that Carson was quitting the race and to get people to switch to him. The statement that there was an announcement coming was a total fabricated lie.
Carson’s wife confronted them and told them they were not quitting and he did not send that out and stop his troops. He had 12,000 people spreading his lie and did not stop it. His word is worthless.
Again, show me where Ted Cruz said this. Let's see the quote from Cruz.
