Rick Tyler, the Senior Communications Advisor for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), issued a public apology after spreading a false story reporting that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) made a nasty comment to a Cruz staffer about the Bible.
"I want to apologize to Senator Marco Rubio for posting an inaccurate story about him here earlier today," Tyler wrote on Facebook after sharing the false story online. "The story misquoted a remark the Senator made to the staffer. I assumed wrongly that the story was correct."
The false report indicated that Rubio said that there were "not many answers" in the Bible -- when in fact, Rubio commented that "all the answers" were in the book of scripture.
Tyler indicated that he communicated with the Cruz staffer in the video, who explained that Rubio had made a "friendly and appropriate remark" about the Bible.
"Since the audio was unclear, I should not have assumed the story was correct," Tyler wrote. "I've deleted the post because I would not knowingly post a false story. But the fact remains that I did post it when I should have checked its accuracy first. I regret the mistake."

Again, really?
It’s only Monday FFS...
I was a hard core supporter, but now I am looking else where. Unfortunately I don’t like the alternatives much...
I know. It is dispiriting.
BTW how is the BeckFast going? Anybody know?
Has Trump apologized for the false Coburn tweet? Do we now embrace double standards and believe we are "fair"?
I agree with that. Still, it’s appropriate to credit the campaign for admitting it propogated a false story, and it did so, in this case, in a timely fashion.
BS They repudiate after the damage is done.
He's certainly not acting like the brilliant man we were led to believe he is.
Jeff Roe is a ROUGH guy who many think helped push Tom Schweich to suicide:

So sorry to find your sadness.
Get back to me after Trump apologizes for the fake Coburn tweet.
That doesn't cure everything gone by, but repudiation was the right thing to do. Beats the heck out of doubling down!
Their numbers combined in South Carolina would be a formidable force, however, as Trump says, they don’t control their supporters who will go wherever they wish.
Much is made by Karl Rove of Trump having only 1/3 of the republicans supporting him. Rove says, “that means that 2/3rds don’t support him.”
Then it is like mathematical crickets in my brain: when will they also follow through and say that this also means that 80% don’t support Cruz, that 80% don’t support Rubio, that 93% don’t support Kasich, and that 94% don’t support Carson?
“So sorry to find your sadness.”
So sorry to find your sarcasm.
Ted Cruz is a low life useless human being!!! He is going nowhere...but, waltzing with his soul brother, lunatic, nutcase, ego-maniac, insane Glenn Beck into the cesspool of obscurity, where they both rightfully belong!!! And....you can add Rush Limbaugh & Mark Levin to the list of Cruz low life!!! The folks that supported and voted for Ted Cruz should be totally ashamed of themselves!!!
And...just for the record....Ted Cruz did not defeat Donald Trump in Iowa......his cheating, stole the election!!! And...shame on the state of IOWA for letting that bogus Caucus stand....uncontested!!!
GO DONALD TRUMP!!!!
Tyler is now apologizing ?!?! Wow. Wonder if the rest of Cruz’s BS artist lieutenants will do likewise.
Kind of stupid to ignore that issue unless one is a neocon or international banker.
Cruz needs to fire his campaign manager and others doing this. They are doing him no favors with this sleazy campaigning.
Read post 9 and say that again.
