GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson suggested that the controversy over Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)'s campaign action during the Iowa caucus might be on the minds of voters ahead of the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday.
"I suspect it may well," Carson told Breitbart News. "We were in church this morning and the minister sort of alluded to it, talking about Christian values and politics."
Just ahead of the vote, the Cruz campaign sent out notes and voicemails to precinct captains telling them to tell Carson voters that he would be suspending his campaign and to support Cruz instead. The Cruz campaign has said it only passed along a news report from CNN.
"I've said all along that the evidence is pretty clear and it should be very easy for people to make a judgment on this," Carson said in response to a CNN statement, which it issued Saturday night that said Cruz "knowingly misstated" CNN's pre-caucus report.
"The only issue is, is this acceptable behavior to voters? Obviously, it's acceptable behavior to Washington politicians," he said.
The Washington Post reported Cruz approached Carson during a commercial break during the debate Saturday night and requested a private meeting.
Carson told Breitbart News that he hopes Cruz dismisses the staff that was involved in spreading the false report.
"I would like to see something happen that would more or less ensure that this kind of thing does not continue to happen," Carson explained when asked what he would like to see come out of a private meeting with Cruz.
"I kind of look at it when you find a problem, you fix it, you just don't sort of sweep it under the rug," Carson explained.

Wake up, doctor. Your name was called.
So much for forgiveness after a sincere appolgy.
Get over it gentle ben and get your clothes washed!
Problem was and is team Carson. He is the Al Gore of the Republican Party.
Carson doesn’t sound like someone who has sincerely accepted an apology from someone who didn’t owe him one in the first place.
What’s on my mind is how Carson appears to have completely lost control of his campaign.
Wake up, Dr. Carson, wake up! You have 4 phone calls!
Don Meredith is on line 1
DeForest Kelley is on line 2
Beverly Sills is on line 3
The guys from Steam are on line 4
Ben has something he can milk for face time. Sad how he refuses to take responsibility for his own mistakes. It was stunningly stupid to release that information at that time to the media. Of course it was taken as a campaign suspension.
What was a 7th Day Adventist like Ben doing in Church on a Sunday?
Ellen G White is rolling over in her grave.
One dan forgive, but actions have consequences. Do you think a judge would just let a serial killer off the hook because he said he was sorry? Not on your life.
OK, at some point we reach the expiration date on this stuff.
The Republicans are getting petty. I don’t like petty.
Oh shut up, Carson.....youre not going to win, so quit whining
Good lord, stick to real issues
If Carson does not win NH, this is the reason.
/s
Nice guy Ben will probably beat Gilmore on Tuesday & blame Cruz for his poor showing...
” So much for forgiveness after a sincere appolgy.”
So much for consequences after a serpentine theft.
SNL = pinkos
