CNN: Cruz lies about CNN's reporting

Ted Cruz is wrong about CNN's reporting

Manchester, New Hampshire (CNN)Sen. Ted Cruz knowingly misstated CNN's reporting during Saturday's Republican primary debate, despite the fact that CNN's reporting was correct all along.

Cruz blamed CNN for a message his campaign sent to supporters the night of the Iowa caucuses suggesting Carson was going to suspend his campaign.

"My political team saw CNN's report breaking news and they forwarded that news to our volunteers, it was being covered on live television," Cruz said during the debate.

Cruz also claimed CNN had inaccurately reported that Carson was suspending his campaign "from 6:30 p.m. to 9:15," and "didn't correct that story until 9:15 that night."

1. I was wondering why he doubled down one lie with another lie?

Wow, he thinks he can get away any lie he tells!

2. Look at Trump- his supporters still back him after his lies

I saw the statements put out by CNN regarding Carson going to Florida. No indication at all that he was suspending his campaign. CNN even followed it up with another statement making it abundantly clear that Carson was still running and would be in NH in a couple of days, after a stop in DC. There is nothing vague about this. I'm not a Cruz fan to begin with but I don't see how anyone can be with his lack of accountability.

5. They routinely can and do

Fox pseudo-News simply repeated Cruz's lie about it being CNN's fault, so it's not as if anyone on the right is going to figure it out.

3. If a Republican's mouth is moving, they are lying.

Their wealthy constituents do not care.

The Fox viewer constituents have never been exposed to the truth.

4. They just did a segment calling him a liar.

6. Cruz: I wonder how Jesus would fuck over Carson?

7. Right after this Carson said CNN corrected it one minute later

So, from that correction, Carson politely called him a liar.

8. Cruz will do anything to win

That's his life story

9. Cruz. Lying? Nah, that can't be. Shocked I tells ya.

10. I am amazed at the way in which CNN is upset over this lie

and how many times they are calling him out. When these fuggers LIE about the Democratic party hour after hour CNN never calls them - that ex-GEM#NBComcast hack David Gregory said it was not their station's responsibility to call out lies.
