Campaign asked cruz to hold his staff accountable for spreading misinformation. Tyler posted this video that claims marco rubio trashed the bible to a cruz staffer. The only problem is that is not what marco rubio said. Rubio posted their own video that said well, heres what it said. All the answers are in there.

Every single day something comes out of the Cruz Campaign thats deceptive and untrue. Ted cruz about to hold a Campaign Rally there. Well see if he will have more to say on this
