Actually, Mark, as always, is right. Westmoreland was in Detroit. Simply not on the exact date Carson gave in his book (or in an interview). But quite close to the date he did give.
Carson specifically said he met with the general on Memorial Day 1969. Memorial Day is in May. The general was in Washington DC on Memorial Day and it’s been verified through Army records. He was in Detroit 4 months earlier in February. Anyone as “smart” as Carson claims to be would know damn well if he had dinner with General Westmoreland on Memorial Day 1969, of all days! Carson is a liar! And the chicken”sh*t media is giving him a pass because of the color of his skin, the same way they would not call Obama a liar.
