TED CRUZ REVEALS KARL ROVE LIED ABOUT SCORING BUSH 41’S ENDORSEMENT

BigGovernment:

Karl Rove should probably read what he wrote in his own emails before he attacks the integrity of a U.S. Senator and presidential candidate again.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, published email evidence late Sunday evening that proves Rove—a GOP establishment operative—lied about a 2009 exchange the two had about a then-planned endorsement of Cruz for Attorney General of Texas by former U.S. President George H.W. Bush. The emails that prove Rove was lying were written by Rove himself.

In a statement accompanying the release of email evidence, Cruz noted that Rove lied in his blog post Sunday evening—and it’s truly disturbing to him that people in politics would behave like this.

“I have known Karl Rove for a long time, and have considered him a friend.  I understood that my recounting in my book A Time for Truth the threats he made in the 2009 Texas Attorney General race—and the disparaging remarks he made about President George H.W. Bush—would cause him some discomfort,” Cruz said. “But I never imagined that his response would be a straight-out falsehood. It’s disappointing; this is why people are so cynical about politics, because too many people are willing to lie. No part of our 2009 conversation concerned my good friend, Greg Abbott. Below is email correspondence, contemporaneous from that week, demonstrating the veracity of my account. Karl admits, in writing, that his concern was for “the people raising money for the library who are also [then Texas Rep. Dan] Branch fans and will not understand why one part of the Bush family is for not-the-guy while they are raising money big bucks for library.” More

  1. Cruz keeps knocking it out of the park-publicly slamming “The Architect” is a good thing for conservatives and will make Rove’s underhanded bullshit even more apparent

  2. To anyone who says “They all do it!” (the moral equivalency argument used to dismiss ‘their’ guy’s lies), the answer should be, “No one I’m voting or is morally bankrupt.”
