Watch: Ben Carson Just Destroyed The Media In The Most Hilarious Way Possible
Capitalizing on the critical role social media has played thus far in the 2016 presidential race, Ben Carson’s campaign on Tuesday released a short video that immediately began spreading across Facebook.
In the form of a top ten list, staffers revealed facts about the candidate that “the liberal media” might consider newsworthy. The satirical turn came on the heels of media scrutiny over perceived incongruities in Carson’s autobiography – and hours before he was set to take center stage for the fourth GOP primary debate.
The campaign staff wanted to make sure to stay ahead of any possible “breaking stories” coming out in the news today. You heard it here first folks.

“The campaign staff wanted to make sure you stay ahead of any possible ‘breaking stories’ coming out in the news today,” an introduction to the video stated. “You heard it here first folks.”
Among the infractions from Carson’s school days were a propensity to “color outside the lines” and at least one allegation of “passing a note in class.”
Furthermore, his unequivocal refusal to take narcotics, one staffer revealed, “has some worried that he will be unwilling to compromise in Washington.”
The video was seen about 150,000 times within the first hour of its publication, with a clear majority of commenters expressing approval.
“Nothing like a good preemptive strike,” one Facebook user wrote. “Love your sense of humor in the midst of all this nonsense.”
A few critics – including one self-avowed Carson supporter – viewed the video as overkill.
“You don’t have to defend yourself so adamantly,” a commenter suggested. “It becomes a little off-putting for you to continue to do so.”
