Cruz asks spokesman to resign over 'inaccurate' Rubio video

Source: CNN

Ted Cruz asked his national spokesman Rick Tyler to resign Monday, after he distributed a video that falsely depicted Marco Rubio dismissing the Bible.

Cruz says he spent the morning investigating what happened before making his decision.

"I have made clear in this campaign we will conduct this campaign with the very highest standards and integrity," Cruz said, adding that Tyler is a "good man."

The story mentioned by Tyler was about a video that shows Rubio walking into a hotel lobby past Cruz's father Rafael and a staffer reading the Bible, and subtitles in the video misquote Rubio as saying, "Got a good book there, not many answers in it."

So, he went from Newt Gingrich to that miserable Misery shyteheel Todd Akin, from Akin to the RSC of Maine (lePage clone?), finally, to Cruz before being fired for being a lying piece of shit?

That is quite a history of pulling political crap.

I think that this would not have happened if the Canadian born Ted Cruz had finished 1st in South Carolina. We need to watch and see if the Canadian born Cruz fires anyone else. Personally I think that this is great! Cruz scares the hell out of me!!!!
