Doesn't matter to me. His staff ran with a fraudulent CNN story. He knew nothing about it at the time. When he found out he immediately apologized publicly via the mainstream media.Carson himself said it came from CNN first. Stop spinning.No, the liar Cruz said the "rumor" came from CNN, but that was shown to be not true!Carson said on FOX that the rumor came from CNN.
And Cruz first tried to blame CNN, but only when that lie too was exposed did he sort of apologize to Carson but said what he did was "fair game." What the pathological liar left out of his "fair game" rationalization was that the follow up CNN tweet that Cruz left out was tweeted in the SAME MINUTE as the first!!!
Look at the time of the 2 CNN tweets and then look at the time of the lying Cruz shill Steve King's tweet. Cruz and King knew well before they spread their lie that they were lying!!!

Carson won't go to NH/SC, but instead will head home to Florida for some R&R. He'll be in DC Thursday for the National Prayer Breakfast.

Ben Carson's campaign tells me he plans to stay in the race beyond Iowa no matter what the results are 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 …

No one is arguing that it started with a tweet from a CNN person. Check the time lines on the tweets. AND Dr. Carson informed Cruz's campaign immediately that he was still in the race.
But the dogs didn't back off and they did not correct what they were still putting out there.
That's freaking dirty. I expect better of Cruz's people. I'm pissed off. The Senator needs to bitch slap everyone who was involved in this.
And by the way, Carson only accepted Cruz's apology and taking Cruz at his word that he was unaware on what his staff and volunteers were doing. But he is righteously angry at the campaign.
"Carson has accepted the apology, his spokeswoman Deana Bass told DailyMail.com.
He told Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly on Tuesday that he 'talked to Ted Cruz earlier today and he says that he didn’t know anything about what the campaign did in terms of contacting precincts, telling people that I was dropping out, that a vote for me was a wasted vote.'
'I have to accept his word that he didn’t know,' Carson said, 'cause he said if he had known he would have not agreed with such a thing.'
But the retired doctor insisted that Cruz needs to clean up his campaign, and compared it to the Obama White House.
'A culture exists within the Cruz camp that would allow people to take advantage of a situation like this in a very dishonest way,' he said.

Trump would not have done the same in the same situation.
BTW I should point out that this was never a CNN story. It was just a tweet. And Chris Moody immediately clarified that Carson was still in the race when informed by Carson's staff.
A tweet.
That confirms that Cruz and Steve King knew it was untrue. They knew it was not true but they said it anyway. Only a Republican would call that something other than blatantly lying. Canadian Criminal Ted has a lot of splainin to do.
