Presidential candidate Ted Cruz fired communications director Rick Tyler, his campaign's top spokesman, today after Tyler disseminated an edited video of Marco Rubio.
The video showed Rubio walking by Cruz's father and a campaign staffer reading the Bible, and purported Rubio to say, "Got a good book there, not many answers in it." Rubio's campaign sent out an unedited version of the video that shows him saying, "Got a good book there, all the answers are in there."
Tyler apologized on Facebook.
Cruz said Tyler is a "good man" who made a "grave error of judgment."
Tyler is a former Newt Gingrich spokesman and executive director of the Maine Republican Party.
