Rep. Trey Gowdy Accuses Cruz Campaign Of Dirty Tricks With Fake Endorsement Facebook Page

Somebody created a face Facebook page which falsely features Rep. Trey “Benghazi” Gowdy switching his endorsement from Marco Rubio to Ted Cruz. Gowdy is accusing the Cruz campaign of dirty tricks. Via Daily Caller:

In a statement released by Rubio’s campaign, Gowdy — the chairman of the House Benghazi committee — said: “Its been reported that a fake Facebook page has been used to fool South Carolinians into thinking that I no longer support Marco Rubio and that I’m instead supporting Ted Cruz. Nothing could be further from the truth and I’m demanding that Senator Cruz and his campaign repudiate these dishonest and underhanded tactics.”

The Facebook page has a photo of Gowdy and is called “Trey Gowdy Prayers.” A post on Monday stated: “It is official, I have changed my mind. My previous endorsement of Marco Rubio was a grave mistake…To all my Christian and Conservative friends in South Carolina, I hereby formally endorse Ted Cruz for President of the United States.”

Cruz is claiming innocence.
