Worth Repeating for you, since you brought up the Ben Carson thing
@jpsb Lyin TedCruz's email stated, verbatim:
Dear ___,
Breaking News. The press is reporting that Dr. Ben Carson is taking time off from the campaign trail after Iowa and making a big announcement next week.
Please inform any Carson caucus goers of this news and urge them to caucus for Cruz.
EACH of those statements was factually accurate. Not false in the slightest.
Here are the relevant portions of the transcript from the CNN report:
Tapper: Thanks, Wolf. Well, CNN has learned some news about the man who, at least according to polls, is in fourth place here in Iowa. Now, Dana, a week from tomorrow, we’re all going to be doing this again for the New Hampshire primary. So almost every single candidate is going to be going directly from here to New Hampshire to campaign–except for the man in fourth place, who a few months ago was in first place here, Dr. Ben Carson. What have we learned?
Bash: That’s right. We should say that our Chris Moody is breaking this news, that Ben Carson is going to go back to Florida, to his home, regardless of how he does tonight here in Iowa. He’s going to go there for several days. And then afterwards, he’s not going to go to South Carolina. He’s not going to go to New Hampshire. He’s going to come to Washington, D.C., and he’s going to do that because the National Prayer Breakfast is on Thursday
. . .
Bash: Look, if you want to be President of the United States, you don’t go home to Florida. I mean, that’s bottom line. That’s the end of the story. If you want to signal to your supporters that you want it, that you’re hungry for it, that you want them to get out and and campaign, you’ve got to be out there doing it too. And he’s not doing it. it’s very unusual.
The Cruz email went out approximately 4 minutes before the Iowa Caucuses opened and did not effect the outcome of the Caucus. Carson ended up with approximately 17,000 votes and that result outperformed his polling by 1.6%. Carson could not overtake Rubio for third place as he would have needed more than twice his vote total to do so - Rubio lead Carson by about 25,000 votes.
Trump, of course, lied when he claimed that Cruz's email stole the election in Iowa. Trump lied then as he does now. It's his nature.
Ted didn't lie. Period. The fact that you are so willing to stare myopically at the one statement by Ted in order to imagine a lie yet overlook the near daily lying by Trump shows that you have zero integrity and are hopelessly irrational.
