>> BEN CARSON HAS BEEN GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION FOR SOME
POSSIBLE PREVARICATIONS, TO BE POLITE, IN HIS PAST.
ANOTHER
WORD FOR THAT IS, HE HAS BEEN LYING ABOUT A TON OF THINGS.
I
WILL SHOW YOU A LOT OF THOSE LIES NOW, SO BUCKLE UP.
FIRST I
WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO THINK IT IS UNFAIR.
REPUBLICANS THINK IT
IS UNFAIR TO GO INTO HIS PAST, BECAUSE THEY VIEW ANY QUESTION
TO BE A GOTCHA QUESTION.
IF THE GUY SAID HE GOT A FULL
SCHOLARSHIP TO WEST POINT AND HE DIDN'T, GOTCHA, YOU LIED ABOUT
THAT.
THAT IS RELEVANT.
BUT IT IS NOT JUST REPUBLICANS.
BERNIE
SANDERS DOESN'T LOVE IT EITHER:
>> I DON'T AGREE AND I WILL TELL
YOU WHY.
DON'T GET ME WRONG,
SHOULD WE SPEND TIME ON HIS POLICIES?
OF COURSE.
I HAVE
ALREADY SHOWN YOU HIS TAX PLAN AND WHY IT IS PREPOSTEROUS AND
HOW MUCH IT WILL HELP THE RICH.
WE DO PLENTY OF THAT.
AT THE
SAME TIME, WE HAVE TO KNOW WHO WE ARE ELECTING, IT IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT JOB ON THE PLANET.
THEY CAN UNILATERALLY START WARS
WITH OTHER COUNTRIES.
WHAT DO THEY BELIEVE?
WHAT THIS GUY
BELIEVES IS PARTLY BASED ON HIS INTERPRETATION OF SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE BELIEVES OR WHAT THE POLICY
RAMIFICATIONS ARE.
BUT WE NEED A PERSON WE CAN TRUST, SO THE
QUESTION OF WHETHER YOU HAVE BEEN LYING YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS
RELEVANT.
TO ME THE INTERESTING PART IS NOT JUST THE LIES
THEMSELVES, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE WHOPPERS, AS YOU ARE ABOUT TO
SEE, BUT REMEMBER, DONALD TRUMP LIES OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
HE IS
A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, SO IT IS NOT LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING NEW
TO POLITICIANS.
THEY DO IT ENDLESSLY.
BUT IN HIS CASE, THE
QUESTION IS, WHY DID HE MAKE UP THE LIES HE DID?
THAT IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT PART.
THAT IS WHAT WE WILL GET TO TONIGHT.
LET
ME GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
IN THE BEGINNING, HIS CLASSMATES
DESCRIBED IT THIS WAY.
HE CLAIMS HE WAS VIOLENT, I WILL TELL YOU
WHY HE CLAIMS THAT IN A SECOND, HIS CLASSMATES WHEN HE WAS
GROWING UP IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, JUNIOR HIGH, HIGH SCHOOL, SAY
NO, HE ALMOST ALWAYS WORE A POCKET PROTECTOR, CARRIED AROUND
A BRIEFCASE EVEN IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, A BROWN BRIEFCASE.
VERY STUDIOUS, QUIET GUY.
THOMAS NOONAN, HIS FORMER ROOMMATE IN COLLEGE, SAID --
>> THERE IS NO SHAME IN THAT, THAT IS A GREAT STORY.
HERE IS A
KID WHO CAME OUT OF DETROIT, GOT INTO YALE, DOES NOT PARTY LIKE
EVERYONE ELSE IN COLLEGE, AT THE TIME I WOULD CALL HIM A NERD,
DORK, WHATEVER, HE GETS UP IN THE MORNING, PUTS ON A
BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT, AND GOES TO WORK.
THAT IS SOMETHING TO BE
ADMIRED.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT STORY, THAT STORY IS
FANTASTIC.
BUT HE DID NOT GO WITH THAT STORY, HE WENT WITH A
DIFFERENT STORY.
AND WHY HE WENT WITH A DIFFERENT STORY IS THE
INTERESTING PART.
PART OF IT HAS TO DO WITH RELIGION, HE HAS TO
GO GET BOTH RELIGIOUS VOTERS AND, REMEMBER, HE HAS BEEN
TRYING TO SELL BOOKS FOR 30 YEARS.
ONE BOOK AFTER ANOTHER
ABOUT HOW GREAT HE IS.
HE CALLED ONE OF HIS BOOKS "GIFTED HANDS,"
HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
WHO SAYS THAT ABOUT HIMSELF?
IT IS LIKE IF I
WROTE AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND CALLED IT "GIFTED MOUTH," WHICH
I BELIEVE COULD HAVE OTHER IMPLICATIONS.
OR "GIFTED TONGUE."
OTHER THAN THE FACT
THAT IT MAY BE MISLEADING, IT IS PREPOSTEROUS.
WHO SAYS
THAT ABOUT HIMSELF?
THIS GUY HAS BEEN RUNNING A MARKETING
CAMPAIGN ABOUT HIMSELF FOR DECADES.
PART OF THAT STORY IS,
WHEN I FIRST STARTED I WAS A YOUNG BLACK KID WHO WAS POOR,
VIOLENT -- ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF THAT, BUT HE HAS TO
BUILD THAT STORY -- AND EVEN DUMB.
BUT YOU KNOW WHO SAVED ME?
JESUS.
THERE ARE PICTURES OF HIM AND JESUS AND BIBLES ALL OVER
HIS HOUSE, BUT IN 2009 IN HIS MARYLAND HOUSE A REPORTER
NOTICED THIS PICTURE, WHICH IS UP IN THE GUARDIAN.
PEOPLE ARE
NOW CALLING THAT BLACK KLINGON JESUS.
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE
DECIDED TO HAVE A SELF-PORTRAIT MADE WITH BLACK KLINGON JESUS,
BUT I DO KNOW IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH -- I'M NOT SURE HE
INTENDED HIM TO BE BLACK OR KLINGON, BUT THE IDEA IS, THIS
IS MY JESUS BUDDY.
I AM WITH JESUS.
IT IS A LITERAL
REPRESENTATION OF HIS MARKETING CAMPAIGN, DON'T GET ME WRONG,
I'M WITH JESUS.
THE FIRST SET OF LIES HE GOT CAUGHT ON WAS THIS
IDEA THAT HE HAD THIS VIOLENT PAST.
CNN WENT AND CHECKED, SO
MANY MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS HAVE CHECKED, AND ALL THESE GUYS WHO
ARE HIS FRIENDS ARE LIKE, I BELIEVE BEN, IF HE SAYS HE HAD A
VIOLENT PAST I BELIEVE HIM BUT WE NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT.
WE
WOULD HAVE HEARD ABOUT IN SCHOOL, BUT WE NEVER DID.
HE
CLAIMS HE WENT AFTER HIS MOM WITH A HAMMER.
THAT IS PRETTY
VIOLENT.
NOBODY IN HIS FAMILY CAN ATTEST TO THAT.
WE ASK, CAN
YOU TALK TO YOUR BROTHER?
YOU SAY HE IS THE ONE WHO HELD YOU
BACK AND MAKE SURE YOU DID NOT HIT YOUR MOM WITH A HAMMER.
MYSTERIOUSLY THE BROTHER DOES NOT WANT TO TALK.
CAN WE TALK TO
YOUR MOM?
SHE HAS ALZHEIMER'S, DON'T TALK TO HER.
CAN WE TALK
TO ANYBODY ABOUT IT?
NO.
THEN HE CLAIMS HE HAS MANY OTHER
INSTANCES, HE ATTACKED SOMEBODY WITH A LOCK AND PUT A 3 INCH
GASH IN HIS HEAD, THERE ARE NO RECORDS OF THAT, AND HE
ATTEMPTED TO STAB ANOTHER GUY BUT THE BLADE BROKE OFF WHEN HE
HIT HIS GIGANTIC BUCKLE BELT.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE FROM DETROIT,
NOT TEXAS.
THAT IS A PREPOSTEROUS STORY.
ANYONE WHO
HAS EVER LIED BEFORE, AND ANY SINGLE GUY OUT THERE, YOU KNOW
WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW THAT IS A RIDICULOUS LIE.
HE HAD
A GIANT BUCKLE BELT AND THE BLADE BROKE OFF?
WHAT A STROKE
OF LUCK.
NOT REPORTED ANYWHERE, NOT IN ANY RECORDS.
HE SAID
THEY WERE GUYS NAMED BOB AND JERRY.
TURNS OUT THEY LOOKED
THROUGH THE RECORDS, THERE IS NOT EVEN A BOB OR JERRY THAT
MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN ANY SCHOOL WITH HIM.
SO HE SAYS, I MADE UP
THOSE NAMES --
>>IN OTHER WORDS, THERE ARE NO SUCH PEOPLE.
PLEASE, YOU ARE
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, YOU ARE TAKING
ALL THIS HEAT, NOW YOU ARE TELLING ME, YEAH, I MADE UP THE
NAMES OF THE PEOPLE I PRETENDED TO STAB, BUT TRUST ME THAT THEY
EXIST, AND EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MY FRIENDS NOW, OR IN THE CASE
OF THE STABBING HE CLAIMS IT WAS A RELATIVE, EVEN THOUGH THAT
RELATIVE COULD SAVE MY PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, I WILL
NOT BRING HIM FORWARD.
ALL HE WOULD HAVE TO SAY IS YEAH, HE
DID THIS CRAZY THING, IT HIT MY BUCKLE BELT.
JUST PRODUCE THE
GUY.
YOU CAN'T, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T EXIST BECAUSE YOU ARE A
LIAR.
THE SECOND POINT WAS, WEST POINT, I WAS IN ROTC, I WAS SO
DECORATED I HAD ALL THESE PEOPLE COME OVER INCLUDING GENERAL
WESTMORELAND, HUGE GENERAL BACK IN THE DAY, AND THEY OFFERED ME
A FULL SCHOLARSHIP TO WEST POINT.
IT TURNS OUT THERE ARE NO
SCHOLARSHIPS TO WEST POINT.
IF YOU GET ACCEPTED IT'S FREE.
GENERAL WESTMORELAND WAS NOT THERE ON THE DAY BEN CARSON
DESCRIBES.
IT TURNS OUT, HE NEVER EVEN APPLIED TO WEST
POINT.
OF COURSE PEOPLE ARE JUMPING IN --
LIBERAL MEDIA, THEY ARE PAINTING IT LIKE HE SAID HE GOT A
FULL SCHOLARSHIP TO WEST POINT.
THAT IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID.
REALLY?
LET'S GO TO THE TAPE AND FIND OUT.
>>THAT INSPIRED ME TO GET INTO ROTC AND TO WORK VERY HARD, AND
FORTUNATELY I BECAME THE CITY EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND HAD A
CHANCE TO MEET GENERAL WESTMORELAND AND GO TO
CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR DINNERS AND WAS OFFERED A FULL
SCHOLARSHIP TO WEST POINT, AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD DEEP
AFFECTION FOR THE MILITARY.
>> A FULL SCHOLARSHIP TO WEST POINT.
DUDE, BEFORE YOU LIE,
LOOK IT UP.
LOOK TO SEE IF THEY HAVE FULL SCHOLARSHIPS.
HE
CLAIMS THAT AT THE DINNER THEY ARE LIKE, WOULD YOU LIKE A FULL
SCHOLARSHIP?
SO HE TECHNICALLY DID NOT APPLY, BUT HE WAS
OFFERED.
THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS.
THEY DON'T GO TO DINNER
AND BE LIKE, BEFORE YOU APPLY TO WEST POINT, HERE, YOU ARE
ALREADY ADMITTED AND YOU HAVE A FULL SCHOLARSHIP THAT DOES NOT
EXIST.
THE GUIDELINES, THAT'S WHAT HE DOES.
ALL OF THIS
MARKETING, ALL THE CAMPAIGNS, ALL THE GIFTED HANDS, EVERYTHING
IS ONE GIANT LIE.
I AM NOT ANYWHERE NEAR DONE.
THERE IS A
STORY ABOUT WHEN HE IS AT YALE AND THE PROFESSOR COMES AND DOES
THIS STUDY, AND IT TURNS OUT HE IS THE ONLY HONEST GUY AT YALE.
COME ON, HE DIDN'T REALLY SAY THAT.
LET'S GO TO HIS ACTUAL WORDS.
>> WHAT IS HE DESCRIBING HERE?
HE SAID HE WENT TO THIS CLASS
CALLED PERCEPTIONS 301, AND THEY WERE TOLD THEY HAD TAKEN THIS
FINAL, BUT THE FINAL HAD BEEN LOST AND THEY WERE ALL GOING TO
GET A NEW FINAL, 150 KIDS IN THE CLASS, AND THE NEW FINAL WAS
TWICE AS HARD AS THE OLD FINAL.
SO THE OTHER STUDENTS WERE SO
MAD AND THEY WALKED OUT, BUT NOT BEN CARSON, BECAUSE HE IS THE
ONLY HONEST GUY AT YALE.
IT TURNS OUT IT WAS A STUDY TO FIND
THE ONLY HONEST GUY AT YALE.
HE STOOD THERE AND HE TOOK THE TEST
ANYWAY.
OUT OF 150 PEOPLE HE IS THE ONLY ONE TO TAKE A FINAL?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK INTO THIS AMAZING
STORY, AND WHEN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, OWNED BY RUPERT MURDOCH
AND NEWS CORP., SO NO LIBERAL PUBLICATION, SAYS --
>> SO THAT PICTURE STORY IS A
TOTAL CROCK --
>> HE EVEN MADE UP THE CLASS.
WE WILL SHOW YOU WHERE HE GOT THAT
FROM A SECOND.
>> HE NEVER TOOK THAT CLASS, THERE WAS NO SUCH FINAL.
WHERE
THE HELL DID HE GET THIS CRAZY IDEA?
IT TURNS OUT, BACK THEN
THE YALE DAILY NEWS RAN A PARODY, I KNOW THAT BECAUSE IT
IS LABELED PARODY.
MOTHER JONES FOUND THIS, AMONG OTHERS.
IT
EXPLAINS THIS STORY WHERE A PSYCHOLOGY CLASS IS TOLD THAT
THE EXAMS WERE TAKEN AWAY, AND THEY WERE ASKED TO TAKE THE
EXAMS AGAIN, IT WAS PROVEN TO BE A HOAX -- HE TOOK A PARODY FROM
THE STUDENT PAPER, PRETENDED IT WAS REAL, THEN PRETENDED IT
SHOWED HIM AS THE ONLY HONEST PERSON IN THE CLASS.
I WOULD
CALL THAT IRONIC, BECAUSE THAT IS ABOUT AS DISHONEST A THING IS
YOU CAN DO.
THE WHOLE POINT OF THAT STORY IS, I'M THE ONLY
HONEST ONE.
EVERYONE ELSE, MY CRITICS, THEY ARE ALL LIARS.
LIBERAL MEDIA, THIS, THAT, BUT I HAVE A PURE SOUL.
WE ARE NOT
DONE YET.
THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING AS TO WHY HE IS
LYING.
HE'S TOLD A STORY ABOUT CHEMISTRY CLASS.
HE GETS TO YALE AND FIND OUT HE IS UNPREPARED, ESPECIALLY
FOR CHEMISTRY, AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.
>> WE WERE RIGHT THERE THE DAY BEFORE THE FINAL, AND MY GRADES
WERE SO BAD THAT EVEN IF I HAD GOTTEN IN A ON THE FINAL I STILL
WOULD HAVE FAILED.
THAT IS HOW BAD IT WAS.
THERE I WAS, THE
NIGHT BEFORE, THINKING ABOUT MY LIFE.
I SAID LORD, MEDICINE IS
THE ONLY THING I EVER WANTED TO DO.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT
YOU WANTED FOR ME.
AND YET, IT LOOKS LIKE I AM GOING TO FAIL
CHEMISTRY AND NOT GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL.
I SAID, SO WOULD YOU
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IT IS YOU REALLY WANT ME TO DO?
OR,
ALTERNATIVELY AND PREFERABLY, WORK A MIRACLE.
AND I PICKED UP
THAT BIG CHEMISTRY BOOK, I WAS GOING TO LEARN THE WHOLE THING
THAT NIGHT.
AND OF COURSE I FELL ASLEEP, DREAMED I WAS IN THIS
LARGE AUDITORIUM, JUST ME AND A NEBULOUS FIGURE WORKING OUT
CHEMISTRY PROBLEMS.
AND I AWAKENED EARLY IN THE MORNING,
THAT DREAM WAS VIVID IN MY MIND -- I PICKED UP MY BOOK AND
STARTED LOOKING AT THE STUFF I DREAMED ABOUT, AND WHEN I WENT
TO TAKE THE TEST THE NEXT MORNING IT WAS LIKE THE TWILIGHT
ZONE.
I OPENED THAT BOOK AND I RECOGNIZED THE FIRST PROBLEM, IT
WAS ONE OF THE ONES I DREAMED ABOUT.
AND THE NEXT AND THE
NEXT, AND I ACED THE EXAM, AND I GOT A GOOD MARK IN CHEMISTRY.
IT
WORKED OUT OKAY.
>> YOU ARE TELLING ME AN ANGEL TAUGHT YOU CHEMISTRY IN YOUR
SLEEP, AND YOU WENT FROM AN F, NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT
CHEMISTRY -- BY THE WAY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO PICK UP THE BOOK
EARLIER -- TO GETTING A 97?
THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED, AND
ANYBODY WHO WENT TO SCHOOL KNOWS THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED.
I AM
NOT BEGRUDGING HIM HIS MIRACLE STORIES, I KNOW RELIGIOUS PEOPLE
FEEL THIS WAY.
THERE IS ANOTHER STORY WHERE HE GETS IN A CAR
ACCIDENT, THE CAR SPINS AROUND AND AROUND, THEY ARE ALMOST
GOING OFF A CLIFF -- THAT PART IS PROBABLY NOT TRUE, BUT
ANYWAY, I'M SURE THE CAR SPUN OUT, AND HIS FUTURE WIFE WAS IN
THE CAR, THEY ARE NOT MARRIED AT THE TIME, THEY ARE BOTH GOING TO
YALE, THEY BOTH GO BACK TO DETROIT TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO
GET INTO YALE -- THAT IS GREAT, I LOVE HIM FOR IT -- THE CAR SPINS
OUT AND THEY DON'T DIE, THEY DECIDE IT IS A MIRACLE AND GOD
HAS SAVED THEM FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE
THAT.
ME BEING AGNOSTIC, I WOULD SAY WHY DID GOD CAUSE THE
ACCIDENT IN THE FIRST PLACE?
BUT I DON'T BEGRUDGE HIM THAT, THAT
IS NOT ONE OF THE LIES, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.
BUT IN THIS
CASE, THE CHEMISTRY AND THE ANGEL IN YOUR SLEEP, THAT IS
BULLSHIT.
THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.
AND MORE INTERESTINGLY THOUGH,
WHY TELL THAT STORY?
ISN'T IT A BETTER STORY IF YOU STUDY?
YOU
ARE A KID FROM DETROIT, YOU WERE POOR, STUDIED HARD, YOU GOT
UP AT FOUR IN THE MORNING EVERY DAY, YOU WORE YOUR BUTTON-DOWN
SHIRT, AND YOU STUDIED CHEMISTRY.
AND YOU LEARNED IT SO
WELL, YOU GOT A 97 ON YOUR FINAL AT YALE.
ISN'T THAT A BETTER
STORY?
NO, BUT THAT DOESN'T FIT THE NARRATIVE THAT THE PEOPLE
BUYING HIS BOOKS, THE EVANGELICAL BASE HE IS APPEALING
TO, AND REPUBLICAN VOTERS, WANT TO HEAR.
THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR
THAT STORY.
HERE IS THE STORY THEY WANT TO HEAR.
YOU WERE A
VIOLENT BLACK KID GOING AROUND STABBING PEOPLE, HAMMERING YOUR
OWN MOM, OR TRYING TO, AND YOU YOU WERE ALSO DUMB, FAILING
CHEMISTRY.
AND THEN THROUGH THE MIRACLE OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU
WERE SAVED.
AND SINCE YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE OVER TO JESUS, THEN HE
GAVE YOU GIFTED HANDS, HE SENT YOU AN ANGEL TO GIVE YOU A
MIRACLE TO GET YOU THE 97 ON THE CHEMISTRY EXAM, AND NOW IT IS
THE WHITE MAN'S DREAM.
A DUMB, VIOLENT BLACK KID TURNED INTO A
PERFECTLY DOCILE GOOD MEMBER OF SOCIETY WHO TELLS THEM ALL
THE TIME, BY THE WAY, WHITE PEOPLE ARE RIGHT AND BLACK
PEOPLE'S CULTURE IS WRONG, AND ALL THAT IS BECAUSE OF JESUS.
PERFECT.
THAT IS A STORY THAT SELLS BOOKS.
THAT IS A STORY
THAT IS MUCH WORSE THAN THE TRUTH, BUT IT SELLS BOOKS AND
GETS REPUBLICAN VOTERS.
TO THIS DAY, BEN CARSON ARGUES FOR THE
CONFEDERATE FLAG.
HE SAYS IT SHOULD BE FLOWN AT NASCAR RACES.
THAT STORY SELLS.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO
HEAR, ESPECIALLY REPUBLICAN VOTERS.
OF COURSE NOT ALL WHITE
PEOPLE.
BUT THE PEOPLE WHO BUY HIS BOOKS, THE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT
VOTE FOR HIM, THAT IS THE STORY THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM A BLACK
SURGEON.
IF YOU ARE NOT CONVINCED THAT THERE ARE MORE
LIES AHEAD, WHY HE IS LYING, LET'S GO TO ONE MORE.
THIS IS
ABOUT WHEN MLK IS SHOT.
EVERYONE ON CAMPUS IS GREATLY AFFECTED BY
THIS, AND THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY IS GREATLY AFFECTED.
BUT MR.
CARSON HAS AN INTERESTING VIEW OF WHAT
HAPPENED ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY.
LET'S HEAR HIM OUT.
>> THAT DAY IS STILL SO VIVID IN MY MEMORY.
THE BLACK STUDENTS
WERE INCREDIBLY ANGRY, AND MANY OF THEM WERE GOING AROUND IN
GROUPS LOOKING FOR ANY WHITE PERSON THEY COULD FIND, AND JUST
BEATING THE TAR OUT OF THEM.
AND I WAS VERY CONCERNED, AND I
HAPPENED TO BE THE LAB ASSISTANT, BIOLOGY LAB
ASSISTANT, I HAD A KEY TO THE LAB, SO I WAS GETTING WHITE
STUDENTS INTO THE LAB AND LOCKING IT SO THEY COULD HIDE
UNTIL THE WHOLE THING WAS OVER.
IN NO WAY WAS I AT A POINT WHERE
I WAS READY TO BLAME ALL WHITE PEOPLE FOR THAT.
>> NOW HE HAS MADE HIMSELF INTO THE OSKAR SCHINDLER FOR WHITE
PEOPLE.
ALL THE SAVAGES, THE VIOLENT BLACKS, COMING TO GET
THE WHITE PEOPLE, AND WHO WAS THE ONLY HONEST MAN AT YALE?
THE
ONE GUY WHO COULD SAVE ALL THE GOOD WHITE FOLKS?
IT WAS BEN
CARSON.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL LOOKED INTO THIS AS WELL --
>> IT'S ALL PART OF THE SAME NARRATIVE.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
ARE RACIST AMONG WHITE VOTERS AND BOOK BUYERS AND PEOPLE WHO
PAY FOR MY SPEECHES, HAVE I GOT THE PERFECT SPEECH FOR YOU.
HAVE
I GOT THE PERFECT STORY FOR YOU.
ALL OF YOUR BIASES AND
STEREOTYPES, I CAN CONFIRM THEM.
THAT IS HOW ALL BLACK PEOPLE
ARE.
BUT DON'T WORRY, I AM HERE TO SAVE YOU.
AND SAVE THEM.
I
WILL FIND BLACK KLINGON JESUS, I WILL BRING HIM ALONG, AND
TOGETHER WE WILL SHOW YOU THAT IF ONLY THEY LISTENED TO YOU,
THEN THEIR CULTURE COULD BE FIXED.
BUT UNTIL THEN, DON'T
WORRY, IF THEY GET OUT OF HAND, I WILL PROTECT YOU.
SEE, THEY
ARE WEIRD LIES IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE NARRATIVE HE IS
TRYING TO SELL.
WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND, WELL, THEN THAT
MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
