Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz, speaks at a rally Sunday, Feb. 21, in Pahrump, Nev. | AP Photo Cruz campaign apologizes for spreading 'inaccurate' video

Ted Cruz’s campaign on Monday apologized to Marco Rubio for publicizing a story misstating the Florida senator’s remarks to a Cruz staffer in South Carolina.

Rubio ran into Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, and a staffer in South Carolina on Saturday at a Hampton Inn. According to the Daily Pennsylvanian, which posted the video, the blog also had staffers present during the encounter.

The website reported that Rubio suggested that the Bible did “[n]ot have many answers in it.”

Cruz communications director Rick Tyler posted the story on Facebook but later deleted it and apologized after a Cruz staffer said Rubio didn’t make any such comment.

“I want to apologize to Senator Marco Rubio for posting an inaccurate story about him here earlier today,” Tyler said. “The story showed a video of the Senator walking past a Ted Cruz staffer seated in the lobby of a hotel reading his Bible. The story misquoted a remark the Senator made to the staffer. I assumed wrongly that the story was correct. According to the Cruz staffer, the Senator made a friendly and appropriate remark.”

Rubio’s camp cried foul, accusing Cruz’s camp of more dirty tricks. “Same dirty tactics,” Eric Teetsel, Rubio’s faith outreach director, wrote on Twitter. “Marco said ‘All the answers are in there.’ And upon seeing specific book "especially that one.”

Rubio communications director Alex Conant posted a video he said had the correct transcript. Any other video “is another dirty trick by Cruz camp,” he said. “How do I know? I’m in the video!!”

In the clip, Rubio tells the staffer he has “a good book there.” “All the answers are in there,” he added. “Especially in that one.”

This video has correct transcript; any other is another dirty trick by Cruz camp. How do I know? I'm in the video!! https://t.co/llZGimU5Jp — Alex Conant (@AlexConant) February 21, 2016

Tyler said he’s asked the blog to correct its story. The Daily Pennsylvanian stood by its transcript in a subsequent editor's note at the top of the post.

The Independent Journal Review first reported the Bible controversy.
