He did not tell a deliberate lie. Period.
Politico took a passage from his book and twisted the meaning. Get the book and inform yourself.
Carson was in the ROTC and he had the good fortune to meet General Westmoreland. During a dinner of medal of honor winners Westmoreland offered Carson a chance to go to Westpoint.
That is it.
From that Politico implied that he said he went to Westpoint and that he applied to go there when no such thing was said by Carson. This is a total hit piece. It is very,very obvious and a man of Carson’s stature should be given every leeway to explain himself which he is doing profusely.
This comes from Politico. That says it all.
Read the book before you make accusations. This is so ridiculous and transparent!
That Freepers read and instantly believe a Politico piece without a pause is sad indeed.
