That’s a nice bit of spin but I predicted his campaign might run with that exact angle but I still don’t buy it. He is running as a Republican candidate you don’t embellish points about West Point or the military in general as a Republican candidate. It’s insulting to those who indeed obtained an “appointment” (not a scholarship) to West Point.
He didn’t even use the correct term. I’m sorry I think that’s relevant. It’s very prestigious to be offered an appointment there, so it’s insulting to those that have to call it a “scholarship”, as if the best football player in college ball can get in as long as he takes Basketweaving type courses.
I’m sorry I don’t buy it. We will see though if his supporters are as kind as the Daily Wire.
Carson said he received an offer.
His campaign said that they offered to help him.
