Doc Who Worked With Carson Recalls Being Told Stabbing Story in 1987

Ben Carson responded to the controversy surrounding his youth insisting, “I have always said I expect to be vetted”, but that he’s only being vetted this intensely because he’s “a threat” to the “secular progressive movement in this country”.

Carson wrote in Gifted Hands that the professor, who taught a class called Perceptions 301, had pulled a hoax on his 150 students by pretending they all had to re-sit a final exam because their papers had “inadvertently burned”. This isn’t a story that you tell if you’re running for president for example.

The candidate also continued to refute a Politico story about his claim that he’d been offered a full scholarship to West Point.

While fellow Republican Donald Trump was initially high in the polls, a poll by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal said Dr Carson had pulled ahead on 29 per cent over Mr Trump’s 23 per cent, CNN reported this week.

Bakal did confirm Carson’s claim that the professor gave him cash for being the most honest student.

Presidential candidate Ben Carson continues to face questions about his personal story, including now about the legitimacy of a story in his autobiography about being the most “honest student” in a psychology course at Yale University.

“But, you know, what does it say about people who immediately jump on the bandwagon if they hear something bad rather than waiting and finding out what the truth is?”

On the other hand, Carson’s supporters will probably see the photos as more evidence that the legendary neurosurgeon is a very accomplished person and dedicated Christian.

“I have always said that I expect to be vetted, but being vetted and what is going on with me -‘You said this thirty years ago, you said this 20 years ago, this didn’t exist’ – you know, I have not seen that with anyone else”.

“What I remember is the knife hitting the belt buckle”, he said. “The kind of investigations that were done, talking to the wrong people”.

That story too has been called into question, prompting a few to ask why neither Carson nor his campaign hasn’t produced someone from his past to corroborate his version of events.

“Well I know he [Westmoreland] was there in Detroit…You know it may not have been Memorial Day”.

Prince said he believed Carson’s story was true.

On ABC, Carson dismissed Trump’s comments and maintained he had been offered the scholarship but had ended up not applying for entry.
