As soon as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) announced Wednesday that he chose former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina as his running mate should he get the party’s nomination, digs Fiorina made at Cruz on the campaign trail began to re-circulate.

During a Thursday morning interview with “Fox and Friends,” Fiorina walked back those old attacks as “not true.”

Fiorina compared her previous comments about Cruz to a tough basketball game, a subject that has come up often, and with varying degrees of success, during Cruz’s attempt to pander to Hoosier fans in Indiana.

“In the heated basketball games, since we’re in the Hoosier state, players foul each other,” she said. “Sometimes you say things that turn out not to be true.”

During her time as a candidate, Fiorina attacked Cruz on multiple fronts, saying it was odd the Canadian-born senator waited until 2014 to renounce his Canadian citizenship and saying he’ll do anything to get elected.

  1. So was she Lyin’ Carly then or is she Lyin’ Carly now?

  2. “and saying that he will do anything to get elected”, including choosing a loser VP like you!

    Nothing is beneath Ted’s dignity when his ambition is at stake.

    And clearly we cannot tell if Carly is lying about Cruz now or if she was she lying about Cruz then. Regardless, admitting to being a liar cannot help scumsucker Cruz.

  3. I lied about him, but it’s OK 'cause I was running for President!

  4. well… at least she is consistently delusional…

    I was a great CEO

    I saw body parts in the Planned Parenthood film

    Ted Cruz is really great and I was just making it up before
