Ben Carson said during Tuesday night’s debate that he doesn’t mind the news media scrutinizing his life as long as Democratic candidates face similar rigors – including Hillary Clinton, whom he suggested lied about Benghazi. “He said, ‘What do you think about that idea?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, Lee, you can check it out if you want but it doesn’t sound right, ‘ because at that time I had no political aspiration”. “I appreciate that”, Carson joked.

Now, with Carson engulfed in a media firestorm over the details of his own biography, Cain said he saw it coming all along because the same thing happened to him. “Is he kidding?” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said on CNN, pointing to the stories surrounding his 2013 “Bridgegate” episode.
“About whether or not he he hit a guy with a lock, ya know, hit his mother, stabbed his cousin – I don’t know”, Graham continued.

“As for Carson’s complaint that he’s being given too much scrutiny by the media, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says, “You ain’t seen nothing yet”. You can say anything about anybody – and their poll numbers go up, no matter what you do”. The fundamental problem with Dr. Carson’s candidacy is that he has no experience or qualifications for the job. Yes, but he initially said he didn’t, then later said he gave speeches on its behalf. He said he had already determined that he was going to go on to college and on to medical school.
