Alluding to the string of reports about Carson’s biography, Cavuto noted that Carson has recently complained about a “double-standard in the media” and asserted that the press “seems obsessed with inconsistencies and potential exaggerations in your life story, but looked the other way when it came to then Sen”.

“We should vet all candidates”, Carson said.
Carson posted the ad on Facebook, saying: “I won’t hold my breathe (sic) for an apology”.
The code names for former President Bill Clinton and current Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton are also interesting.
The first questions about Dr. Carson’s background were raised by CNN, as I remember, where they interviewed nine “friends, neighbors and classmates” who grew up with Carson, and they didn’t recall him being violent in any way or any of the violent episodes he describes in his many books and speeches.
But why would the hoaxsters tell him he was the most honest person in the class? “Some people are so inspired, they’re not looking for all the details”, Livengood says.
Though the push to change the debate format failed, the hosts of Tuesday’s debate, Fox Business Network and the Wall Street Journal, vowed that their approach would be different and would focus on policy. Politico reported last week that Carson had “fabricated” a narrative involving his acceptance at West Point, although the website later acknowledged that Carson had not actually said he was accepted. I had written: “But now, the Carson campaign has admitted that the candidate’s story about applying and being admitted to West Point is untrue”.
A day after the fourth GOP debate, Ben Carson took a hatchet to Donald Trump’s plan to deport millions of illegal immigrants living in the United States. “I have no idea what’s going to happen, but it’ll be interesting”, said Trump.
Carson, a newcomer to national politics, has developed a passionate following based in part on his inspirational personal story and devotion to Christian values. Carson claimed that he tried to hit his mother with a hammer and unsuccessfully tried to stab someone.
“Because before it was an autobiography and it’s not an autobiography now because it’s already been written”, Carson said. That’s the words that they used, but I’ve had many people come and say the same thing to me. How could people from someone past that didn’t live with or next to him know a person inside?
The colorful businessman – fresh off an appearance hosting “Saturday Night Live” – remains on top of most polls but is facing increasingly fierce competition from Carson.

“Hillary’s running for a lot of reasons, one of them is because she wants to stay out of jail”, he said to cheers. The candidate will likely have to defend his use of a Florida Republican Party charge card, an issue that his critics have seized on.
