The Daily Beast’s Betsy Woodruff, Kirsten Powers from FOX News, Erica Grieder of Texas Monthly, and Chuck Johnson of GotNews all confirm Cruz’s deflection is misplaced.
Betsy Woodruff told MSNBC the story started with the Rubio Campaign.

The Cruz campaign reportedly knew for weeks, at least since January, about the allegations.
Kirsten Powers told FOX News someone else who was anti-Cruz AND anti-Trump was shopping the story.
“The Daily Beast reported it was shopped around by two — reporters by somebody who was a Rubio person. I also happen to know that one of the people who was shopping the story around very aggressively was somebody who was completely anti-Trump, and was anti-Cruz also, but who was not a person who in anyway was supporting Trump.”
