Here he is telling the same story to Charlie Rose on PBS. Yea, it’s from media matters, but this story should end his campaign.No way he can tap dance around it. He’ll try through.

He’s arrogant.
Ok thanks. This does at least independently verify the use of the word “scholarship”. That’s bad for Carson, yes. Unless he comes out and says “I shouldn’t have used the word ‘scholarship’, rather I should have said ‘nomination’ or ‘recommendation’, in reference to what Gen Westmoreland offered to me”. Or some such. But even that wouldn’t repair most of the damage (it would show his ignorance of West Point in particular and the military in general and his apparent willingness to exaggerate personal details).
So thanks again. I hope his supporters see the light and go to Cruz.
