Ted Cruz Appologised to Rubio Over the Fake Video

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has asked his campaign spokesman to resign after the staffer promoted a fake video of rival Marco Rubio.

Staffer Rick Tyler tweeted a story and subtitled video that showed Mr Rubio referring to the Bible as a "good book" with "not many answers in it".

Mr Rubio's campaign said he actually said: "All the answers are in there."

The call comes after the Cruz campaign has been repeatedly accused of "lies" and "dirty tricks" by rival campaigns.

"Our campaign should not have sent it," Mr Cruz told reporters on Monday. "We are not a campaign that is going to question the faith of another candidate for president."

Mr Tyler, the Cruz campaign's communication director, apologised to the Rubio campaign in a post to Facebook.

"I've deleted the post because I would not knowingly post a false story," Mr Tyler said. "But the fact remains that I did post it when I should have checked its accuracy first. I regret the mistake."

Other Republican candidates Ben Carson and Donald Trump have previously criticised the Cruz campaign after his staffers were accused of falsely telling voters that Mr Carson had dropped out of the race just hours before the Iowa caucuses.

Mr Cruz apologised to the Carson campaign, but the issue has lingered in the race.

The video of Mr Rubio had inaccurate subtitles

Mr Trump has also taken issue with negative adverts sponsored by the Cruz campaign. Mr Trump has threatened to sue Mr Cruz for defamation.

While Mr Trump is currently leading the Republican field after big wins in New Hampshire and South Carolina, Mr Cruz and Mr Rubio are in a tight race for second place.

Dr. Luke Accuses Kesha Supporters of 'Trial by Twitter'

Dr. Luke, the pop star Kesha's former music producer, said allegations on Monday that it was lies he had raped the singer. He also hit back at a "trial by Twitter" backed by some of music's biggest names over Kesha's bid to extricate herself from a recording contract. Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, posted a series of tweets saying that people supporting Kesha's claims of sexual assault against him were "getting behind an allegation only - motivated by money." "I didn’t rape Kesha and I have never had sex with her. Kesha and I were friends for many years and she was like my little sister," the producer said.
