RE: If you haven’t been keeping up here I’m not going to waste my time bringing you up to date...
Two issues have been brought up. Both do not prove that he lied at all.
One was his recollection of a scholarship at West Point offered verbally by General Westmoreland.
The other was his mention of a stabbing incident when he was a youth.
Not one of the above have been shown to be lies. Faulty recollection at best for the former. No witness of the second one.
What other lies did he tell?
IIRC, didn’t it come out recently that there was no record of Westmoreland being in Detroit anywhere around the time he would had to have been to meet with Carson?
His promotion of magic cancer-curing vitamins.
Had he actually met the general in person?
In this book, he tells of this story:
“A classmate came along and began to ridicule me. I had a camping knife in my hand and without thinking, I lunged at him plunging the knife into his abdomen”
In his book: “Gifted Hands” :
Carson relates that in his youth he once tried to hit his mother in the head with a hammer over a clothes dispute.
Also in this same book: “While he was in the ninth grade he tried to stab a friend for changing the radio station”
In Carson's book: “America the Beautiful” “He said that on November 4, 2015 he changed to Republican. He was an Independent in the 1990’s..In Feb 2013 he said he was not a member of any political party”
