Asked about reporters looking into his personal history, Ben Carson told NBC News that he has “never seen” this type of intense vetting before and believes it is because he is “a threat to the secular progressive movement.”
Said Carson: “I’m a very big threat because they can look at the polling data and they can see that I’m the candidate who’s most likely to be able to beat Hillary Clinton. They see that.”
