Watch this CNN report which aired 15 minutes before the start of the Iowa Caucus and clearly claims that Carson was leaving the Iowa caucuses early to go me home to Florida for several days with no more public appearances before the prayer breakfast in DC on Thursday. The CNN reporters talk about how bizarre this is and that how no candidate still serious about running for president would do this. The strong implication was that Carson was about to suspend his campaign.

Based on this video CNN clearly owes Sen. Cruz an apology for lying about what they were reporting yesterday. Cruz supporters were simply passing on CNN'S breaking news story which was not modified by CNN until after the caucus had started. Here again is the link.

CNN was clearly the genesis of this misinformation, but Cruz still took responsibility and apologized.

If there would be a President Cruz, I just hope he wouldn’t rely on a CNN report that someone heard that Russian has launched a nuclear weapon towards the US.

CNN announces that Carson is going home for two days.

And then CNN makes the obvious point, "If you want to be president, you don't go home to Florida for a couple of days".

To which King tweets about what "it looks like".

Oh the horror.

That news report clearly says that Carson was NOT going to be campaigning the following week. CNN’s report about Cruz’s apology said that Cruz gave a different bent to the news - that the CNN report actually said that Carson was going to FL BEFORE going on to campaign in NH and NC.

The documentable liar here is CNN. The report on Cruz’s apology is a smear against Cruz, pure and simple. It’s what CNN does. Why is it so hard for people to understand that?

Sure sounded like CNN thought it was a positive sign he was dropping out. Carson didn’t help himself when asked about what he would do if he didn’t do well in Iowa, he said he would evaluate his position. Together CNN probable assumed what a lot of us at FR did, that Carson was probable dropping his race having not gotten the evangelic vote he hope in a strong area of the nation in that regard.

I see the anti Cruz mania amongst the cultists hasn’t subsided since Iowa.

Sigh.

That day, for no particular reason, I decided to fly to Florida for a change of clothes...and that's what I did.

I'm pretty tired...I think I'll go home now.

Pretty strange way to spend the night of the caucus.

None of it matters. A lie was told and passed on by Cruz and he Cruz benefited from it. Kind of de-legitimizes his win in my opinion.

I heard the story last night while down in the barn and it is as you depicted. Anderson cooper did say that he was wearing the same suit for the past four days.

Cruz is finished. I think the RNC should ban him from the ticket. I am appalled at this sleeze bag. I support Trump but he doesnt take money so I sent a donation to Carson today.

I though Carson lived in MD: did not even know he is now a Floridian.
