Dgging up dirt on Ben Carson proved to be a fairly easy endeavor. Carson isn’t running for president with a background in politics or even a strong public presence; he’s running on what he’s written about himself in autobiographies. His own narcissism is what convinced him to run in the first place, and now the grandiose stories of his troubled youth and violent past are coming back to haunt him.
That’s because none of it ever happened. Carson has tried to portray himself as some lost soul who found his way through prayer and hard work, theories which can’t be corroborated by…anyone. What it boils down to is that Ben Carson is a pathological liar. His entire life story is and should be called into question. This man isn’t qualified to accurately remember his childhood, never mind run a country.
Stephen Colbert takes all of that into consideration as he mauls what’s left of Carson’s credibility. From the reports of his quiet, introverted demeanor from people who knew him as an adolescent to the ridiculous theories of pyramids and grain storage, Colbert rips Carson to shreds.
Carson has become fairly vocal about the backlash he’s receiving over his lies lately. He’s actually shown some emotion, which doesn’t fit into his motif at all, calling into question the vetting process every candidate goes through. Poor Ben doesn’t think anyone has ever been treated so unfairly. He says he’s been scrutinized more than any candidate…ever.
