Ted Cruz has asked one of his top advisers to resign Tuesday, according to media reports. Rick Tyler, who is Cruz’s communications director and the chief spokesman for the campaign, publicized a news story and video Sunday that falsely stated Marco Rubio mocked a Cruz staffer for reading the Bible.

Tyler posted on Twitter and Facebook a story from a college newspaper that incorrectly reported Rubio had said of the Bible that there were “not many answers” in it. He apologized and deleted the posts.
