“Trump also needs to recognize he was wrong in repeating the story and apologize.”
For what? For the upteenth time, Carson absolutely WAS NOT OFFERED a “full Scholarship” at West Point. West Point does not offer scholarship. You apply for admission. He lied like hell, he has always lied about it and Fox will perfectly happen to be an assessory in the lie. Let Carson prove the assertion. Carson said that he was offered a scholarship to attend, but the school doesn’t offer scholarships. Rather, students are offered admission without tuition in exchange for serving their country when they graduate.
You don’t know wtf you’re talking about. West Point advertises “full scholarships”.
I suppose you could strain at that gnat all day, but it is not a far stretch to equate an offer for admission with full tuition paid as being a “full scholarship.” You may have good reasons in your own mind to oppose Dr. Carson’s candidacy, but if your reasoning is anything like that which causes you to call Carson an outright liar, I suspect your reasoning in choosing presidents may be lacking substance as well.
I agree.
If someone says they were offered a “full scholarship” to a service academy (Army, Navy, Air-Force, Marines), they’re either lying or ignorant of the facts. In Carson’s case, there is no such thing as a “scholarship†to West Point. The government subsidizes every student - they’re effectively in the Army and their training and education are free.
