I referred to Carson as Benny Hill because every nutty thing I learned about him this week brings the crazy Benny Hill music to my head. But at least Benny Hill was funny, Carson is just a weirdo. The only reason he was anything in this race is because the MSM was beating the bushes for ANYBODY that would be competition for Trump.
well gop voters...what say you now about the “brilliant” dr. ben, still love him?
If Trump camp is smart, they’ll not utter a thing.
But I suspect Trump (or as somebody pointed out his underlings) couldn’t help kicking the wounded dog.
Shades of Biden in 1988 : )
We all know Obama was conceived because of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery march.
Neil Kinnoch redux : )
People have just been mis-quoting him on that - he actually said brain storage (as in pharaos' brains)...;-)
All the volumes and volumes of stuff on Obama, and tons of stuff we still don't know about. . and they find this on Carson. . I agree it's a negative, but can you imagine, if they really dug like they did Carson, the Palin emails, etc, what we would find? He wouldn't have even been considered for nomination in 2008. .
Why the F would you lie about that?
It is so easily checked.
You shouldn’t lie anyway. But this type of lying is just an ego boost.
This is a fatal character flaw.
Even cheating on your wife and making up and living right for 20 years is recoverable.
This is not.
now it becomes: “what else has he lied about ?”
OK.. he’s toast. That one won’t be overcome or explained away.
Well now he might get Brian Williams' vote.
I thought that only a Congressman, or Senator, could offer appointment to the military academies.
How does this lie compare to with Hillary’s?
I think Ben is done. But, the republicans should POUND this. I bet we see Sanders it.
This doesn’t look good for the doctor.
What a pathetic hit piece. Anyone admitted to West Point gets a full ride. Anyone admitted must first be nominated by a Congressman or prominent military official. It is highly likely that Westmoreland and others at said banquet offered to nominate Carson because he was the top ROTC cadet in Detroit at the time.
You can’t survive something like this.
The man is a brain surgeon, that’s an extraordinary accomplishment, why would he feel the need to lie to make himself look good?
Carson’s campaign team should have done due diligence on his resume! Why didn’t they check these claims out before?
They should have known that any conservative black republican would be closely scrutinized!
I already had doubts about him, but this borders on Stolen Valor. And to think he’s been telling this lie for years and years. I guess West Point is not like Disney, they don’t check out every single misuse of their corporate name. Ben!! Now you wear the Scarlet Letter of the obvious Liar.
My older brother received an appointment to West Point and graduated,
as well, back about that same time frame.
It all started with a U.S. Senator from Mississippi.
It is a great honor to earn an appointment to West Point.
Carson dishonors those select few who are appointed each year.
Good riddance to Carson.
