Critics are questioning more accounts from Ben Carson’s past, including a harrowing tale of how he sheltered his white classmates during Detroit race riots.
The revelations came a day after the GOP candidate called reporters “desperate” for asking questions about his 1996 autobiography.
A fiery Carson blasted the media Friday after reports questioned the validity of his book, “Gifted Hands,” specifically suggesting he may have lied about earning a scholarship to West Point and embellished stories about his violent outbursts as a youth.
“There’s got to be a scandal. There’s got to be some nurse he’s had an affair with. There’s got to be something. They have gotten desperate,” Carson told reporters Friday night, according to CNN. “Next week, it will be my kindergarten teacher who said I peed in my pants. It’s ridiculous.”
On Friday, a new media report scrutinized two more stories from the neurosurgeon-turned-politician.
