Twenty years ago Ben Carson wrote a book containing a lot of stories about his early life.
This last week the reporters have been checking up on those stories and discovered that they cannot be verified. Some reporters have even called Ben Carson a liar.
But look how Carson tries to dismiss the problem when he says:
There’s got to be a scandal. There’s got to be some nurse he’s had an affair with. There’s got to be something. They have gotten desperate ... Next week, it will be my kindergarten teacher who said I peed in my pants. It’s ridiculous.
He tries to make it sound like the reporters have been making up false stories about him when, in fact, the reporters are actually accusing him of that very thing - fabricating stories about himself! Carson completely ignores what the reporters are saying and seems to be projecting his own behaviour onto the reporters.
I wonder if Republicans have noticed how deftly he side-stepped the issue? I wonder if they are now thinking that he is the victim of defamatory stories invented by reporters?
