Ben Carson said late Saturday that Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas approached him during an off-camera break at ABCâs Republican debate to apologize for his campaignâs conduct during the Iowa caucuses and requested a one-on-one meeting with him.
âHe said heâs sorry that this happened and he wants to sit down and talk,â Carson said in an interview with The Washington Post. âHe wants to discuss the whole thing and clear the air.â
In the interview, Carson said pointedly that if the meeting with Cruz is scheduled, that does not mean the the senator will be absolved.
âThe evidence is there,â he said, citing voice-mails that his campaign has released of Cruz allies telling caucus-goers that Carson was likely to suspend his bid. âTapes, written communications, itâs all out there. People have to decide whether this kind of behavior is acceptable to them.â

“There is also no need, and Raphael and his mob make it manifest every day.”
Yep. A couple days ago Cruz’s communications director (Rich Tyler of the VIOLATION mailer fame) was trying a new meme out on Twitter. He was saying forces are lining up to prevent the first GOP Hispanic candidate from winning. He tried to pull the race card.
Very Christian/s
I don’t see where that attempt gained any traction.
DT will surely win, I was just wondering which pundits are going to be off trn points again.
I think you are clearly wrong.Trump has been wagging the proven false Canada garbage for weeks and Cruz has not called for a recount. You know good and well that cost far more votes. But just because Trump insults, is duplicitous and Crass that does not excuse others to be so.
There is a difference between class and Crass beyond the spelling.
Team Carson stupidly put out the info that was reported as breaking news — he was going home and not going to NH or SC. Everyone was speculating about it. Team Cruz had a fantastic team that was able to turn around news instantly. They did nothing wrong. Carson and team are to blame but too proud to admit it. No class.
It's what we tried to explain to mom AFTER we clobbered our brother. If it wasn't for those two eyes in the back of her head....
LOL!
I think your barking up the wrong tree. Had team Cruz acted upon Kings tweet, they'd be in even worse trouble. They used the cover of the first CNN info -while ignoring clarifying message minutes after- to justify their mis-characterizations.
And to another point. What has become of all the accusations that were leveled that Rubios team was doing the same thing. No one has stepped forward to confirm that.
And if they info was out there, why has there not been a single claim Trumps, or any other campaign, team did likewise?
They surely are just as fair and impartial as as you are..
Nice personal attack, there.
No thanks.
“It is ok to lie about a candidate with lower poll numbers isnât much of a Christian response. How sad so many Cruz supporters can accept that idea and still tout Christian principles are important to them.”
Perfectly said!!!
Thank you.
Trump is ell positioned but even he does not want to punk with Cruz
This is round in a long ass fight
Or, like Cain, too smart to let on that he knows.
All these guys have some degree of narcissism to be where they are—and it must leave a narcissist a bit empty after retirement from being the famous black pizza king or Siamese twins surgeon or whatever.
“Cruz.s team tweeted a news story.”
Funny how Cruz team relied on CNN for news and echoed it, but now Cruz supporters say “who listens to CNN?”
Well apparently the Cruz campaign did,,or else they’re lying.
So what’s the problem then?
Why is he asking Carson for a meeting. I wonder.
Loose screw....needs a brain surgeon??
That genuinely nice guy is committing fraud by keeping his campaign coffers open for donations without actually campaigning.
Ted Cruz’s staffer was actually right. But, I know that would never change your mind,Nothing is more offensive than a righteous man.
I like Ben Carson in a “stabby” kind of friend way, but he needs to shut up and sit down.
Your weenie buddies were the source of this flapex.
Go stab them
It’s real easy to criticize after days to analyze what happened in this incident, when the actual events transpired in only a couple of hours of excitement. Who really can tell who knew what exactly when and who they told about it?
As Carson said let the voters decide, and they are. This is stuck on Cruz.
You are deluded. First of all, the entire purpose of the caucus system is to try to persuade other voters to vote for your candidate. If the fact that the Carson campaign put out a message through CNN that was ambiguous made it easier to persuade Carson voters, then that is on his campaign. But the Cruz campaign did not lie to anyone or make the story up. You can keep trying to say that Cruz “stole” the campaign to avoid the fact that your “winner” was in fact a “loser”, but no one other that Trump cultists will believe it. Even those who might believe it was deliberate misrepresentation (I don’t) don’t believe it had any impact on the outcome.
“Itâs Carson that is out of line. 100%”
Ony in your mind! So what are you going to do when Ted drops out?
