On Twitter this weekend, Ted Cruz’s speech writer and strategist Amanda Carpenter went off when she heard Chris Wallace say that top Republicans were feeding Wallace oppo research against her boss Ted Cruz. And it’s true. He did say that. “This has been one of the strangest weeks I’ve ever had in Washington and I say that because as soon as we listed Ted Cruz as our featured guest this week, I got unsolicited research and questions, not from Democrats but from top Republicans, to hammer Cruz,” said Wallace.
