So Cruz’s staff makes a mistake relaying an incorrect media report and apologizes immediatly... Trump spreads lies of his own making and doubles down. Interesting display of character by each candidate.
Yeah. An interesting comparison would be to the false story Trump and his campaign spread about Tom Coburn last week. Trump's social media director (Scavino) took a story on a left-wing blog that called Cruz "without a doubt one of the most dishonest people in Washington," and falsely attributed that quote to Coburn. Trump then re-tweeted Scavino's quote, falsely reiterating that the quote had come from Coburn. Then, Trump talked about the story in at least one or two rallies, even after the quote had been debunked.
Did Trump apologize? Nope. Did he fire Scavino (as many seem to think Cruz should)? Nope. They just both quietly deleted the tweets, as if nothing happened.
Very telling. And ironic, since the fake Coburn quote was about Cruz being dishonest.
Not quite; did you view the video from the person responsible where he was videotaped using very foul language after being caught and before this apology ? Nita posted it last night.
(And lie doing it.)
That reminds me of the rapist in the news recently whose defense was that he accidentally slipped and "fell" on his victim.
