CNN blasted Texas Sen. and GOP Presidential candidate Ted Cruz Saturday night after the network said Cruz continues to lie to voters about its reporting Monday in Iowa regarding Dr. Ben Carson.
According to Politico:
“CNN came out swinging against Ted Cruz Saturday night after the Texas senator once again tried to blame the network for his campaign’s use of its report to tell Ben Carson’s Iowa Caucus supporters that their candidate was dropping out of the race.
“What Senator Cruz said tonight in the debate is categorically false,” a network spokesperson said in a statement. “CNN never corrected its reporting because CNN never had anything to correct. The Cruz campaign’s actions the night of the Iowa caucuses had nothing to do with CNN’s reporting. The fact that Senator Cruz continues to knowingly mislead the voters about this is astonishing.”
Right as the Iowa caucus was beginning, CNN reported that Carson was not flying directly to New Hampshire and would instead fly to Florida for some days off and to get a fresh set of clothes.
Messages sent out to Cruz supporters at the caucuses made it seem as though Carson was suspending his campaign, and urged them to convince Carson supporters to jump to Cruz, who ended up winning the Caucus.”
