Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship | 06 Nov 2015 | 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. The academy has occupied a central place in Carson's tale for years. According to a story told in Carson's book [of fables], “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson's telling, was followed by a “full scholarship” to the military academy. West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission…When presented with this evidence, Carson's campaign conceded the story was false.
