Ben Carson faced growing questions about key aspects of his personal narrative that he has discussed publicly over several decades. Carson himself acknowledged that a scholarship offer from West Point military academy was "informal."
His personal narrative, a centerpiece of his campaign and star power, has long revolved around his accounts of his violent past and descriptions of the healing powers of his faith.
"As a teenager, I would go after people with rocks, and bricks, and baseball bats, and hammers. And, of course, many people know the story when I was 14 and I tried to stab someone," Carson said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
CNN reported that childhood friends of Carson were surprised about violent incidents and had no recollection of such events.
"Guy comes in, put the gun in my ribs," and I just said, 'I believe that you want the guy behind the counter,'" Carson said on Sirius XM Radio. "I redirected him. ... The resolution was, [the gunman] said, 'Oh, sorry,' and then he went to the appropriate person behind the register who gave him the money, and he left the store running before the police got there." The police didn't find any report about this incident.
In a “Faith & Liberty” interview posted, Ben Carson discussed his rejection of the theory of evolution, arguing that the science of evolution is a sign of humankind’s arrogance and belief “
Carson told the graduates of Andrews University in Michigan that it is his "personal" belief that the pyramids were built as storehouses for grain and not, as archaeologists say, for the interment of dead pharaohs.
Donald Trump is looking Fantastic by now, thanks to Carson.
Just a thought.
