MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Ben Carson accepted Ted Cruz's apology after the Texas senator's campaign was accused of trying to sabotage his opponent's chances in the Iowa caucuses. But Carson lamented the types of "dirty tricks" that he believes are reflected in "Washington values."
"These 'dirty tricks' political tactics are part of the reason Dr. Carson got into this race and reflect the 'Washington values' of win at all cost -- regardless of the damage to the country -- which he is trying to change," Carson communication director Larry Ross said in a statement to announce the former neurosurgeon had accepted the apology.
Cruz's campaign blasted out a report Monday night that suggested Carson was going home to Florida instead of campaigning after the Iowa caucuses - something Cruz said Tuesday is "fair game" - but admitted that the campaign should have corrected that report when it became clear Carson wasn't dropping out of the race. He was just going home to get "fresh clothes."
Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope. https://t.co/lW5Js50EMA -- Steve King (@SteveKingIA) February 2, 2016
"This was a mistake from our end, and for that I apologize to Dr. Carson," Cruz said in a statement Tuesday, hours after he was declared the winner in Iowa while Carson finished a distant fourth.

Carson “accepted” Cruz’s story not the apology.
“Carson is pissed!”
He has every right to be. The headline is BS.
Mark Levin is reporting tonight that Carson sent a fund raising letter to his supporters mentioning the dirty tricks campaign against him. He mentioned CNN. No mention of Cruz at all.
Also, Levin says that Carson isn’t going to New Hampshire until Saturday.
Wonder how you campaign in New Hampshire with just two days left before the votes.
Who the hell cares what Levin says. A few years ago he was queer for “superstar” Rubio. How’d that work out.
Levin is getting played for a schmuck again.
“....He mentioned CNN. No mention of Cruz at all.”
Glad to hear that. Also, I did hear Ben Carson say on Hannity’s radio yesterday that it was the liberal media.
Your last sentence sounds as if Ben Carson is maybe getting tired.
NEWS FLASH, dumb-ass Donald!: Lying is LEGAL in politics! NO politician will EVER be convicted for lying to the voters! Thus, the issue with Cruz is MOOT!
Why would Trump want to be on the same ticket as a child molester?
_______________
Cracked me up!
Cruz is the new Donald Segretti of politics....How Nixonian of Cruz.
Time to move on, Dr. Ben, stop playing the helpless and befuddled victim.
Wow! Your friends can give people divine mandates?
How about divine powers as well? Big jobs need big muscles.
