I agree. I suspect a lot of the postings on FR, blaming the media for Dr. Carson’s mis-statements, lack of concise description, whatever, is a motivated effort by the elite to keep Dr. Carson in the race long enough to keep Trump from securing the nomination.
Dr. Carson has the same low energy level and lack of enthusiasm for the job as the Jebster.
His defenders are going to have a lot of trouble nuancing the West Point scholarship if this 30 second video goes viral. Carson’s statement is very clear.

If Ben Carson was NOT black he would have never been a POTUS contender ... Am I a racist for saying that ? No.
To me the issue can be settled by the question of motivation. It seems clear that Carson’s intent was to convey that he had been offered a spot at West Point. He had not been offered that.
I don’t know why everyone is in such an outraged tizzy to defend a man who was not being truthful.
Isn’t it also possible that there are those of us who
despise the MSM for their shoddy double standard Tx
and are willing to defend anybody this side of Genghis
Khan against MSM dirty dealings?
