Ben Carson Melts Down Over CNN’s Questions About His Allegedly Stabby Violent Past [VIDEO]

Teabagistan is an uproar, again, over this morning’s CNN interview with Ben Carson, whom they tried pin down about his allegedly stabby, violent past. Salon recaps:

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.” Undeterred, Camerota asked Carson about specific discrepancies, namely why the CNN reporters who traveled to Detroit were unable to identify any of his past victims. “Dr. Carson, your story has changed,” Camerota pointed out, asking Carson why he changed the name and relation of the young man he claimed to have stabbed as an adolescent.
