If he was offered, then he was accepted.

No. Trying to rewrite Polutico's premise? Because they have.

Polutico's original statement:

Ben Carson's campaign on Friday admitted, in a response to an inquiry from POLITICO, that a central point in his inspirational personal story was fabricated: his application and acceptance into the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

Read again the quote from the book. He NEVER said that he applied nor accepted. He said an appointment was offered.

Now it’s obvious you have impaired reading comprehension to wit:

I never said he accepted. In fact, I have informed you of that in several responses but you can’t understand simple English.

I said he wrote he was offered and that is equivalent to saying his application was accepted.

He was offered = He was accepted

He was offered not= He accepted

So simple to understand.

And the larger point is that Donald Trump never mentioned this story in connection with POLITICO who he detests as dishonest and for good reason.

Enough of your nonsense, move on.
