Cruz's apology was that his team didn't tweet the clarification as quickly as they tweeted the original story. What more needs to be done, to satisfy you?

"Our campaign updated grassroots leaders just as we would with any breaking news story," Cruz said in a statement first shared with CNN. "That's fair game. What the team then should have done was send around the follow-up statement."

So again, what is the crime and what do you suggest as "punishment"? Keep in mind that some of Cruz's staff were Carson folks who left Ben last month.

Doesn’t matter who worked for whom. Someone screwed up and Cruz won’t admit it.

The “crime” is hypocrisy - denying that anything wrong occurred, but then apologizing for it. If it was wrong, show some leadership by holding someone accountable. If not, then stop apologizing. Cruz is one step away from the “sorry for anyone who might have been offended” non-apology libs are famous for.

As I posted earlier, Cruz should come out and admit it was a mistake and his staff’s tweeting the false CNN information to campaign leaders could have damaged Dr. Carson’s votes in Iowa. And that as a result, the person responsible has been fired from his staff and that he (Cruz) will personally authorize future communications of any similar nature to make sure it doens’t happen again.

That would provide honesty and accountability.
