There is now audio proving the Cruz campaign told the 1,500 Iowa precinct captains that Dr. Ben Carson was dropping out of the race.
This call went out before the caucus voting.
Conservative Treehouse reported:
Breitbart.com is reporting on audio they have obtained which shows Ted Cruz Headquarters telling Iowa precinct captains that Ben Carson had dropped out of the race. The messages were sent at 7:07pm (CST), and 7:29 (CST) before the votes were cast.
This factual evidence refutes the claims made by Ted Cruz and his campaign team:
Transcript [inaudible]…from the Ted Cruz campaign, calling to get to a precinct captain, and it has just been announced that Ben Carson is taking a leave of absence from the campaign trail, so it is very important that you tell any Ben Carson voters that for tonight, uh, that they not waste a vote on Ben Carson, and vote for Ted Cruz. He is taking a leave of absence from his campaign. All right? Thank you. Bye.

This does not bode well for the Cruz camp. What a dirty trick.
