TYT: Ben Carson Tried To Stab A Guy

[WhoIsNumberNone]

In a recent interview, Ben Carson discussed how he was much more rebellious when he was younger. He even talked about a time he almost stabbed somebody when he was 14. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Do you think Ben Carson is making this story up? What is he trying to gain by telling it? Let us know in the comments below.

“On Friday, after Ben Carson passed him in the polls in Iowa, Donald Trump called his fellow candidate “super low energy.” Carson offered a response Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” by referring to his violent past: “There was a time when I was very volatile.”

“As a teenager, I would go after people with rocks, and bricks, and baseball bats, and hammers,” he continued. “Of course, many people know the story when I was 14 and I tried to stab someone.”

In the unlikely event that you are one of the few people who don’t know this story, here’s how Carson summarized it in an interview with The Daily Caller last summer”

1. Aww, cut him some slack....he didn't shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die...

3. That did make me lol

I didn't think the 12 gop primary could be topped but trump and Carson are outstanding. This is better than Herman Cain.

7. Number 9 ... Number 9 ... Number 9

2. Carson is odd

So in response to trump claiming he was low energy, the way Carson decided to prove he was a vivacious guy was to claim he tried to stab somebody. That is so weird.

4. I have no doubt that people can change

but the way he disclosed that, with so little feeling and apparently with no clue how it may come across - now that is downright creepy

5. What I find creepy

He tried to stab someone with a knife as a teenager and then goes into a profession where he uses a scalpel to cut patients. What is his mindset when he's using the scalpel?

9. ewwwwwww
