Carson Says His Mother Would Have Shot Reporters

Ben Carson joked that “if his mother did not have Alzheimer’s Disease, she would have likely taken to arms and gone after the ‘dishonest reporters’ covering the campaign herself,” Politico reports.

Said Carson: “She has Alzheimer’s. She’s not really cognizant of that, which is a good thing because my mother is really a fighter. She probably would have taken a gun and gone out and shot some of the dishonest reporters.”
