If Carson accepts the apology, I’d buy it as well.
If not....well, I’ve experienced “misunderstandings” like that for years, some including apologies and some just left like a turd in the punchbowl.
My best advice to you is just let the thing go until the guys responsible decide how they’re going to handle their little cluster.
You’re really protesting ‘way too much.

Carson protested too much.
I have a mounting stack of his beg letters, indicating that he is kaput. He needs to speak nicely of Cruz if he wants his debt covered by the man his supporters are flocking to.
