Cruz Lies About CNN Report

“Sen. Ted Cruz knowingly misstated CNN’s reporting during Saturday’s Republican primary debate, despite the fact that CNN’s reporting was correct all along,” Dylan Byers reports.

“The controversy stems from a CNN scoop that was broadcast last Monday night, minutes before the Iowa caucuses began. Reporter Chris Moody received information from the Carson campaign that he would be taking a break from the campaign trail after Iowa… Nevertheless, the Cruz campaign sent a message to supporters in Iowa suggesting that Carson might be suspending his campaign.”

Daily Beast: “When things go wrong, always blame the media... That very well may be true but the fact is that Cruz’s campaign went ahead and intentionally told potential caucus-goers that Carson was dropping out despite clarifications to the contrary from Carson’s campaign.“
