"Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson's campaign
admitted Friday that the former neurosurgeon fabricated a story about applying to and being accepted at West Point. Carson's campaign made the admission in response to an inquiry from Politico. West Point has no record of Carson applying for admission, Politico said. In Carson's book "Gifted Hands," he says he got a "full scholarship" to the military academy."
Ben Carson admits making up West Point scholarship: report
So here is the lie that you and Politico floated;
{
“In 1969, those who would have completed the entire process would have received their acceptance letters from the Army Adjutant General,” said Theresa Brinkerhoff,a spokeswoman for the academy. She said West Point has no records that indicate Carson even began the application process. “If he chose to pursue (the application process), then we would have records indicating such,” she said.
When presented with these facts, Carson’s campaign conceded the story was false.}
Sounds bad, real bad. The campaign conceded this?
Uh, nope - Politico lied as did the Soros hate sites that program you mindless drones.

There’s just one problem with Politico’s story – neither Carson’s book nor Carson’s campaign has
ever claimed that he applied to or was accepted to West Point. In fact,
they have both consistently said that he did not ever apply to West Point. The relevant passage from his book is
abundantly clear that he
never had interest in attending West Point and never applied to do so:
Afterward, Sgt. Hunt introduced me to General Westmoreland, and I had dinner with him and the Congressional Medal winners. Later I was offered a full scholarship to West Point. I didn’t refuse the scholarship outright but I let them know that a military career wasn’t where I saw myself going. As overjoyed as I felt to be offered such a scholarship, I wasn’t really tempted. The scholarship would have obligated me to spend four years in military service after I finished college, precluding my chances to go on to medical school. I knew my direction – I wanted to be a doctor, and nothing would divert me or stand in the way.
