Shows how little you know about what happened. Cruz did not apologize for forwarding the story the Carson campaign gave to CNN (and then tried to take back later), but rather Cruz apologized on behalf of his campaign for not being quicker about clarifying the CNN clarification that came later.

And no one pays attention to the fact that the initial news release came as the caucuses were just starting. The correction didn’t come until after they were underway. I’m Guessing in the chaos of the caucuses, there is not much time to check twitter.

Another thing not mentioned is that the initial misleading report was also BROADCAST on TV. I don’t think the correction was. I could be wrong.

Neither the Carson campaign nor CNN ever said Carson was quitting. That’s the central fact that you just can’t obfuscate away. If Ted gave a weaselly non-apology apology, so much the worse. Keep digging.
