Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz said Monday he’s fired campaign communications director Rick Tyler, after his top spokesman promoted a video that wrongly depicted Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as trash-talking the Bible.
The Texas senator announced that he's asked for the resignation at a press conference Monday afternoon.
“We are not a campaign that is going to question the faith of another candidate. Even if it was true, our campaign should not have sent it. That’s why I’ve asked for Rick Tyler’s resignation,” Cruz said. “The standards of conduct in this campaign have been made absolutely clear.”
"Even if it was true"? This is a rhetorical device which says "Of course it's true" but I didn't say so.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have to agree with you, it's essentially saying, "I'm firing this guy for making public a statement that I totally agree with".
ReplyDeleteI think this is the death knell for the Cruz campaign. That leaves Rubio as savior of the GOP establishment. But Rubio's policy statements read like something a tenth grader would dream up, so I believe that Trump, despite his off the wall campaigning, has it sewn up. That is very bad news for the GOP.
