Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined the criticism of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) following reports that the Cruz campaign told Iowa caucusgoers that Carson was dropping out of the race, TPM reports.
Said Rubio: “Obviously we’ve all seen the reports of the rumors that he spread about Ben Carson, and we know those weren’t accurate… I think it goes back to what I’ve said before, and that is a willingness to say or do anything, in this case spread a false rumor about Ben Carson.”
