Was Ben Carson Really Held at Gunpoint?

Ben Carson claimed that he once encountered a gunman in a Popeyes restaurant in Baltimore, CNN reports, but when the Daily Beast “pressed Carson’s advisor for more information, he first pointed to a retelling of the stickup in one of Carson’s autobiographies that does not exist, and later attempted to revise when and how the robbery occurred.”

“The stick-up story came days after the retired neurosurgeon came under intense criticism after a Monday interview with Fox & Friends, where he seemed to suggest the victims of the Oregon school shooting could have done more to stay alive.”
