Greta Van Susteren went off on the Cruz Campaign tonight over their handling of the Ben Carson Caucus scandal.
On Monday Dr. Ben Carson accused the Cruz camp of foul play in the Iowa Caucuses.
Carson said the Cruz camp told voters Carson was dropping out and to support Ted Cruz.
Carson was right to be outraged...
The Cruz camp sent out messages and made calls to all precinct captains that Dr. Carson was dropping from the race.
On Thursday Greta Van Susteren reacted to the Cruz campaign scandal.
Greta Van Susteren: Horrible!... This is appalling!
For some reason to me, what happened that night was terrible. But then when they have time for reflection they make it even worse with this statement tonight. It's just appalling.
Karl Rove: They're circling the wagons. They know they made a big error. They're trying to change the subject and they're circling the wagons.
Greta Van Susteren: Then don't tell me that Senator Cruz apologized! Because all he does is try to make Carson wrong in this whole statement and Carson didn't do anything wrong. It's just completely ridiculous to say Senator Cruz apologized. They got caught. Now they got double caught. This is horrible and shame on the Cruz campaign!
A Carson staffer whispered something that shouldn't have leaked to CNN, a CNN reporter tweeted it, then Team Cruz drew an inference and beamed it out -- and Cruz is the only candidate here who has trouble controlling his staff? Huh.
Cruz got caught with his teet in the ringer with his Goldman Sachs style morals and ethics.
Did you expect other candidates to ignore it and remain silent?
Nothing could make Jeb! look manly. He’s Momma’s boy. He’s toast but Momma just can’t bring herself to tell him so and Poppa’s out of it most days.
“Appalling” “horrible” “shame”
Let’s not bicker and argue over who screwdled who ...
Wow, Greta was really wound up! I’m a little
Aroused. Just a little, or I’m little when aroused.
As you like it.
This story is about Cruz - not about Trump.
Stop blaming Trump for your candidate’s dishonesty.
He got caught with his pants down and his weenie in the cookie jar
Now he’s going to get the lid slammed down hard on his “manliness”
LOL
Looks like Trump living in your head, man.
Like I said, this don’t have much to do with Trump.
So you carry on.
It’s true!
I live in Florida, I’m here right now, and let me tell you, them shorts is fresh!
No, they should take fraud into consideration.
The Evangelicals who are not Cruz sycophants, are not happy and they are making sure South Carolina knows about it and remembers it.
Cruz can’t screw up and shoot his foot off one more time, because TRUMP has gotten the media spot light shining on him and the field and the voters watching him.
Politicians lie too. It is what they do. No surprise there either.
Which conservative would that be? The one that instigates trouble like Cruz did with Carson? Or the nascent conservative Trump? Maybe the conservative Rubio was what you had in mind.
WTH are you talking about?
Well, at least we know that Carson’s is not full of crap - unlike the other guy! LOL
oh please you just left out 90% of the damning facts,,
Another con-servative?
You’re suggesting America needs yet another law clerk lawyer turned politician for a leader?
Not going to happen this time.
“Just beat it....beat it...”
Yes, why don’t you.
Donald Trump compares Ben Carson's 'pathological temper' to 'child molesting'
Trump ridicules Carson';s Christian conversion: Give me a break
Karl Rove: Excuse me while I whip this out. (holds up his whiteboard).
‘All is fair in love and war’, the old saying goes, and I know that presidential politics is a blood sport, but...
I can’t help thinking that Team Cruz should have contacted Team Carson to verify the information they had, before broadcasting it out to all their precinct captains. It doesn’t matter if they got the info from CNN, a Carson staffer’s tweet, or what. They really should have made absolutely sure that the info was 100% accurate before executing a play that wound up costing Carson a lot of votes.
I personally feel that was plain wrong of them to exploit that opening, and run with something that (they all knew) would be devastating to Ben Carson’s campaign on the very night of the vote.
What was even more disappointing, is that Ted refused to discipline any of his people for this monumental screw up.
