Title: Carson Accuses Cruz Camp of Foul Play – Told Voters Carson Was Dropping Out
Post by: txradioguy on February 02, 2016, 04:12:44 AM
The Carson camp claimed Cruz’s team spread false rumors at caucus sites that Carson had dropped out.

Ben Carson was incensed as the results of Monday night’s Iowa caucuses rolled in, accusing the winner of spreading falsehoods about him at caucus sites.

Carson’s team claimed that Cruz’s campaign deliberately sent emails to supporters to spread false rumors at caucus sites that Carson had dropped out, so his supporters would caucus for other candidates.

“That is really quite a dirty trick,” Carson said speaking to reporters at the end of the evening. “That’s the very kind of thing that irritated me enough to get into this quagmire.”

“To have campaigns come out and send emails to their caucus speakers suggesting that Dr. Carson was doing anything but moving forward after tonight is the lowest of low in American politics,” said Carson campaign manager Ed Brookover.

** Rep. Steve King (R-IA) who was campaigning with Ted Cruz today tweeted this out during the caucuses tonight.

Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope. https://twitter.com/moody/status/694320149432651776 …

Heard about that on local radio after I left the caucus.  No such shenanigans at mine.  Everything went smoothly and was diplomatic.  Unlike the Dems or smaller gatherings, no one was trying to convert you to their candidate.

Before they handed out our ballots, the precinct leader announced what the attendance was.  That was the precise amount that were turned in.

It seems to me from what I've read they are acting like the tweet Steve King put out was somehow orchestrated by the Cruz Campaign.
