Who spread and exaggerated the rumor instead of verifying it at the source. One of the posts on this thread seems to be from Cruz himself spreading the rumor and taking advantage of it, rather than seeking verification.
BS it has been shown over and over that CNN did NOT say Carson was dropping out that is the twist Cruz campaign put on it. But truth doesn’t matter if it involves Cruz campaign lying.
Blaming CNN doesn’t cut it.
The Cruz campaign management knew it was an error as the Carson campaign messaged them that it was not true before they sent the lie out to 1500 precinct captains.
They knew it was an error, yet they still sent it out so that 1500 precincts would herd Carson voters in with the Cruz caucus.
CNN started the rumor, the Carson campaign corrected the rumor, but the ground management ignored the message that it was an error. This is clear fraud.
Not every voter was watching CNN. They were listening to precinct captains who were telling them that Carson was dropping out and to caucus with the Cruz people.
It was clear fraud with a message timeline that confirms it.
Exactly.
