It was a lie that even Ted admitted to, and apologized for. Ted actually said "that was our mistake" [the assumption/lie that Carson was dropping out] and that his team should have contacted Carson.
Until you admit Carson dropping out was Team Ted's assumption, a lie, very unprincipled and dishonorable to use on caucus night, and show some disgust, everything else you bring is pussy footing around.
It wasn't just a "Team Ted" assumption.
Former Ben Carson communications director: They gave Cruz a 'loaded pistol'
Barry Bennett, Carson's former campaign manager, and Doug Watts, his former communications director, told Business Insider that the candidate was asking for such speculation by making the announcement in the middle of the caucus fury.
Bennett, who now serves as a volunteer adviser to real-estate mogul Donald Trump, said:
Eighteen days on the road is a long time. He's been going at this pace now for about a year, so I understand his wanting to get home and sleep in his own bed for a night. But, last I checked, there were dry cleaners in Iowa, so he could probably get fresh clothes.
He said he would've advised Carson to stop in New Hampshire first before heading back to Florida, to avoid any appearance that he was ending his campaign. Watts shared a similar sentiment.
Watts said he would've "vigorously" counseled against going anywhere but New Hampshire or South Carolina. He added that, if he had lost that debate, he would've been strong in telling staffers to "keep their mouths shut" about where Carson was going and when.
When are you going to demand that Team Donald apologize for when Trump compared Carson to a pathological pedophile and suggested that the only cure for people like Carson was the death penalty or castration? Were you disgusted when Trump said Carson was "perhaps" a doctor and just an "OK" doctor? among other insults Trump hurled at Carson?
I won’t argue with psychoglaucoma, equivocation, red herrings, goalpost moving, and blaming the victim. The issue is what Team Ted did on caucus night. Ted trashed his “principles” caucus night. That dog not only doesn’t hunt any more - it’s DEAD.

What you are trying to get me to do is say what Ted did is no worse than things Trump did. That’s how you’ve set it up with the comparisons to Trump. That is a very disingenuous position to take. I won’t do it. And you shouldn’t either because to do so you have to put Ted in the exact same ethical class as Trump. Actually Ted is worse because what he did was on caucus night when votes were being counted.
Trump was honorable on caucus night, Ted wasn’t. By his actions Ted proved he’s not the highly principled outside politician he billed himself to be. It’s that simple.
Like I’ve said I honestly believed Ted really was the most principled candidate, but Ted blew that to smithereens on caucus night. I still can’t believe Ted did what he did - and on a caucus night. It’s stunning.
