Last week nasty anti-Trump robocalls started running in South Carolina. Donald Trump accused the Cruz camp of being behind the calls.
Of course, Senator Cruz denied having anything to do with the ads.
But it was a lie.
And now there is proof that a Cruz PAC is behind the nasty anti-Trump and anti-Rubio robocalls.
The Washington Post reported:
Natalie Barrett, a 53-year-old schoolteacher from Westminster, got a robo-call earlier this month and ended up furious.
It started off simple enough, an automated man’s voice asking her age and gender, then quizzing her on which Republican candidates she liked. But when she selected Sen. Marco Rubio as one of her choices, she said, things got nasty.
“That’s when he said, ‘Did you know that Marco Rubio and the Gang of Eight are for amnesty?’” she recalled in a phone interview. “And then the gentleman said he’s for letting 11 million illegal immigrants stay in the U.S. and that he was for letting Syrians cross the borders freely.”
Barrett said she found the call — which continued to say negative things about Rubio before taking shots at Donald Trump for being a supporter of eminent domain — to be “negative” and “unfair,” but she couldn’t figure out right away who it was from. The voice said the poll was conducted by some place called Remington Research.
She told her Rubio-supporting friend about the call; her friend told the campaign. They said they knew exactly what Remington Research was: a consulting firm started by Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe.
“These tactics are becoming all too common in this race and indicative of our opponents’ campaigns that are willing to say or do anything to win an election,”

Carson was right to be outraged…
The Cruz camp sent their dishonest statements out to 1,500 precincts before the voting started at the Iowa caucuses.
The Carson camp later accused the Cruz camp of dirty tricks saying, “There was never a more tainted victory!”
Yet another lie by The Fake of God
What about when Trump’s people spread a false rumor that Gowdy was retiring?
SMH. Take a look at this also...
Gowdy calls for Cruz to denounce ‘underhanded tactics’

You need to quit cheating and win the debate on the issues honorably.

Check out that fauxhawk.
Lol. A Trump corporate bankruptcy is NOT a Trump personal bankruptcy. However, Cruz “controls” the actions of a super PAC it is illegal for him to personally control? Can Trumpistas at least try to be more consistent than their flippin’ N’ floppin’ idol is?
“What about when Trumpâs people spread a false rumor that Gowdy was retiring?”
What rumor? OR are you just now the originator of it?
Oh no. You mean Cruz is trying to win. How dare he!
If the others can’t handle this then they need to quit now and just give it to Hillary. She’ll be doing more than some robocalls.
Geesh.
When was there a vote for Gowdy?
The election is not until November.
Cruz actually got caught using dirty tricks in Iowa.
I just read that Jeb!.com clicks are getting redirected to trump.com......My God Trump is a sleazy lying bastid!
At the end of last September a rumor came out that Gowdy was retiring. But he came out and denied it.
Great link and thanks!
Trump is one the nastiest creeps ever to run for president, at least on the Republican side.
this article is a lie. What part of ‘the campaign doesn’t work with the PAC’ doesn’t he get?
Do you read English?
Don’t forget “I can make deals with Pelosi and Schumer” (no mention of making deals with the leaders of the House and Senate though.
