Carson told a reporter that after Iowa he was going to go back to Florida for a couple of days and then he was going to go to D.C. for the prayer breakfast.
Cruz's team then sent out this letter.

I think that's a "dirty trick", just like Carson claims. Cruz's letter definitely implied that Carson would be dropping out and isn't reflective of what Carson said.
Cruz at first blamed the media (as usual). Now he says that the letter was fine, but his team should have sent a follow-up afterwards, when it was clear Carson wasn't dropping out. That's bullshit. That letter never should have been sent out in the first place.
I don't know how many Carson supporters actually voted for someone else as a result of that letter, but I think Cruz's victory is tainted regardless.
