Ben Carson loses his cool, lashes out at CNN anchor: “I can’t believe that you used to work on Fox News!”


After contentious showdown, Carson runs to Breitbart.com to pledge that he'll "fight CNN tooth and nail" VIDEO

In a nearly 30-minute interview on CNN’s “New Day,” Ben Carson repeatedly lashed out at recent inquiries into his violent childhood as “pathetic” and attacked host Alisyn Camerota Friday morning for pushing what he called a “smear campaign.”

On Thursday, CNN revealed that it was unable to corroborate any of Carson’s past accounts, including claims he once punched a classmate and stabbed another. According to CNN, at least nine of Carson’s childhood classmates had no recollection of events as described by Carson.

When Camerota asked Carson about CNN’s report, a frustrated Carson raised his voice from a whisper to a more forceful inside voice.

“This is a bunch of lies attempting to say I’m lying about my history, I think it’s pathetic, and basically what the media does is they try to get you distracted,” Carson pushed back.

“It is just garbage,” Carson told Camerota. “We have too many things that are important to deal with.”................

Carson evidently lives in a fantasy world where everything is as he thinks it should be, not as it is. We already went through that with Reagan, and we don't need a re-run. What will really sink his candidacy is the lie about West Point. The people he expects to support him are pretty gung-ho when it comes to the military, and they don't trust people who fib about their service records. Saying "I could have gone to West Point!" is a big deal to them.
