Let me say there is no proof this came from the Ted Cruz campaign or anyone that works with Cruz.
This is an unfortunate situation that transpired as someone or some group took it upon themselves to create a Facebook page and announced in the likeness of House Representative Trey Gowdy that he was pulling his support from Sen. Marco Rubio and giving it to Sen. Ted Cruz.
Gowdy didn’t like this at all! Gowdy took to Facebook to clear his name and solidify his support for Rubio. Once again, nobody has confirmed that this came from the Cruz campaign, but if you add that with the tactics he has been using during this election cycle you can plainly see why people might think this was part of their tactics.

From 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.”
Late Tuesday night, Cruz responded to the accusation from the Rubio campaign:

This doesn’t look right; anyway, you look at. Rubio will use this as momentum before Saturday’s primary vote in South Carolina. Over the past couple of days, Rubio has called out Ted Cruz for lying about his positions so you can see there is bad blood developing between both election camps.
What do you think about this whole situation? Do you think the Cruz campaign had anything to do with the Facebook post or was this the random act of someone trying to cause problems between both campaigns?
