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,”

See this is where I think many Trump supporters don’t even have a 2nd grade education.
Agreed. They couldn't possibly be.
It got nasty last election with many that didn’t support the proper candidate getting banned. I hope it’s not getting back to that level of discourse.
The short answer... Yes
It was on CNN Twiter only, and they ran with it even after it was corrected.
You can come up with all the excuses you want, but most people by in large do not believe you.
Only the Cruzbots are easily Jedied.
“These are not the droids you are looking for.”
And you Cruzbots fall for it every time.
Even Bill O’Reilly (Rubio and Jeb shill) agrees.
I really don’t understand the Cruz supporters here... They throw a FIT over Trump saying some things about Cruz. I remember the fit over the whole ‘little bit of a maniac’ comment and worse over the ‘pussy’ comment.
But NOW they want a candidate who fights dirty?
Sheesh...
Trump STILL LYING about a fabricated quote to smear Ted Cruz HOURS after being caught on it!!
You Trump supporters are cultists already. It’s sick. Too bad if Ben said he was going home to CHANGE CLOTHES and people interpreted this as the beginning of the end. Grow up and stop lying about the ONLY conservative left in the race, Cruz.
You know Ted, the guy who did not make love with Schumer or donate to a gaggle of leftist monsters.
OMG - a robocall that tells FACTS? The horror... Welcome to politics. These people haven’t seen anything until the Clinton machine goes into full gear.
Sorry to burst your bubble but Senator Corburn came out and denied this completely. The article is an op-ed piece with the “everything wrong with the Republican party” coming from the writer, not Corburn
I think that's a *good* thing.
What we have now is sniveling, abject surrender: without even retreating to a better position to plan a counterattack.
A deal means each side gets something they want.
Cruz would lead Banzai charges right into the press stereotyping.
But hey, they're all "moral" victories, right?
That's a despicable lie, and you know it.
She's just having an affair with one! /ba-dum t'shsssh>
Nice gig.
Because “Christian” is now a pejorative on FR. And if you disagree with or do not support a certain candidate, you must be a pearl-clutching Christian.
Dirty tricks get people elected these days. Ask those of ACORN who are not now with ISIS.
So you’re on board with working deals with the democrat MINORITY leaders but not the House and Senate leaders who happen to be Republican. That’s a recipe for disaster...he might as well run as a democrat.
