CNN’s Brooke Baldwin Calls Ted Cruz Statement ‘B.S.’
CNN ^ | February 3

Posted on 02/03/2016 11:03:37 PM PST by Helicondelta

CNN has accused the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz of making false statements about the network's reporting on the campaign of GOP rival Ben Carson. "Senator Cruz's claims about CNN are false," the network said in a statement Wednesday evening. "At no point did the network indicate Dr. Carson would suspend his campaign."

The network's reporting-that Carson would make a trip to Florida before resuming his campaign-came as voters in Iowa were preparing to make the first solid votes of the 2016 campaign. CNN's statement said "Dr. Carson's staff informed CNN that he would return home to take a 'deep breath' before resuming his activities on the trail. That information was reported accurately by CNN across TV and digital."

There are 13 pictures at the link, many of them showing the half empty stadium whine Trump is at the mic.

One is a side shot of Trump speaking with most of the stadium seats behind him empty.

The pictures are there for anybody to see.

The Cruz team was guilty of believing CNN, that’s all. I think I’ve seen ALL of the evidence that you have seen and it does not add up to much, and certainly it does not add up to anything remotely malicious.

And of course, Ted Cruz apologized to Ben Carson. Any man of character would do so in the circumstances.

I think the apology satisfied Carson, but it clearly does not satisfy you because you want Cruz to confess to malice when there was none.

There never would have been a ‘hint’ by CNN if some Carson staffer hadn’t shot off his mouth at a completely inappropriate time.

CNN in damage control mode, as well trying hard to make this stick to Cruz.

Since Cruz requested the meeting with Trump the first time, Trump should reach out to Cruz this time.

He needs to show some humility and here is a chance.

That’s a very interesting take your husband had.

The whole thing does seem weird.

It depends on whether it was true or not.

In this case, nobody told any one that Carson was dropping out. That is a myth. They only repeated the CNN story about the trip to Florida and not to New hampshire or South Carolina.

I hope Cruz staffers are smarter than to leak such a potentially damaging set of facts to CNN while the caucuses were still ongoing. You do such a dub thing, you might expect that the consequences might not be happy ones.

Cruz is gonna go down over this

Am I awake or is this a Trumpster's dream? Did Cruz just manage to get CNN to defend Trump?

Trump just got mad as *ell. He was played by Cruz while he was drafting. And now folks are saying "oh, no. We can't have a Pres who gets angry. There are rules and decorum."

I like the thought of a President who stands up for what he believes.

That 1/2 hearted “apology” was NOT accepted by Carson; he is still going after Ted!

And Carson has been hitting Cruz all day...

Am I awake or is this a Trumpster's dream? Did Cruz campaign shenanigans get SO BAD that even Dr. Carson is angry and fighting back?

There's something about Cruz. Once people recognize it, it's a creepy feeling, and it never goes away.

Oh you're awake; the only people in "DREAMLAND" are the rabid Cruz supporters, who are making excuses and lying about what Ted has said and done!

I saw Ben, myself, on T.V. and he is boiling mad! I have NEVER seen Carson THIS AWAKE......EVER !

We now know that most precincts never even heard the rumor that CNN reported.

We also know that Rubio and Trump people were doing the same thing as Cruz people where the rumor was known. They were all trying to get the Carson people to switch.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3431090/Photos-record-breaking-audience-Trump-rally-fell-far-short-man-Donald-claimed-fire-marshal-actually-manages-state-fair.html

11,000 seat stadium.

The picture of Trump speaking with the stadium seats empty behind him speaks volumes.

The audience was a fraction of 12K, probably less than half based on the pics of the crowds while he was speaking.

I will give him this, though, the article said he was 2 hrs late to the event. The crowds might have been much larger at the scheduled time. I’m not sure I’d wait around 2 hrs to hear anybody speak.

His plane broke down and he was stuck for quite a while for repairs.

“For a change, Ben is wide awake and REALLY angry! And I, for one, don’t blame him at all.”

Can you imagine the reasons some people would give for blaming Carson for being angry about anything?

And that more than explains a half empty stadium 2 hrs after an event’s scheduled start time.

I’m not knocking Trump, just saying the pics were taken while he was speaking.
