“In fact, right now Carson is on TV and once again tells that very story. Politico was wrong.”
Carson will regret this. His own words belie him. See his autobiography and his own Facebook page comments. The truth will out about Carson, sooner than later.
I listened to Carson and here is the difference between what was reported by Politico and what actually happened.
Carson was, at a military dinner in a public place, offered a place at West Point, said he was being offered that due to his accomplishments at that time. He turned that down since he wanted to be a doctor. That is also what his book says.
It was an informal offer so there was never any paper work on it. Politico was trying to make it a legal offer with paper work and contracted West Point and there were no papers, so Politico said Carson lied about the offer, that it didn’t happen.
That is why Politico was wrong and had to admit it.
