I think Carson was trying to get in front of what is inevitably going to come out about him. Carson also has the whole medical malpractice thing to go through too.
He would be destroyed in the general. He’s not willing to fight and he’s got serious mental problems.
Not a fan of Ben Carson, but a handful of malpractice suits in his long career is not bad. I don’t think that will sink him.
Apparently you’ve never read his book. The hammer and stabbing incident was in his youth and covered in the book.
