What Ben Carson did is very much like Hillary Clinton calling the Benghazi annex attack a “protest that escalated” in order to deny Mitt Romney an attack angle: Both were lies told to make a candidate look better.

If anything, Carson’s lie was worse than Clinton’s, as a good amount of the Benghazi criticism was dishonest right from the get-go, so Mrs. Clinton can at least argue she was protecting the president from a smear campaign. Ben Carson just lied to make himself look better.

The big question is why would a highly successful individual need to fluff up and lie about other things in his life?

And it is not like he just did the embellishing only after deciding to run for political office. He didn’t say a lot of this BS to run for president unless he knew he was running for political office 30-40 years ago.

So, it all comes down to a character issue that has been ongoing for years. It was all glossed over because of his medical successes. Now that he is running for a major political office questions of character are real important. This isn’t all about a nonexistent scholarship, it is about his character. He is a fabricator that doesn’t like to be called on it. It really should be a disqualifier for a presidential candidate.

We don’t need a president that we have to question if he is telling the nation the truth or is bullshitting us again.
