the story of his rise from a small home in detroit to world class pediatric neurosurgeon is the type that makes all of us proud of our country. but some of what he himself has written and said about his background is eyebrow raising. that he once punched a classmate with his face in his hand wrapped around a lock leaving a bloody three-inch gash in the boy s forehead or that he attempted to attack his own mother with a hammer, that he tried to attack his young friend spared only by a belt buckle that snapped the blade. these stories are important to carson s narrative of personal redemption. after trying to kill his friend with a knife, he said he found the lord. when you rise in the polls, you get more scrutiny. but when cnn tried to learn more about the incidents that carson himself has described, he cried bias. he told alisyn camarota that cnn s reporting on his past was a bunch of lies, garbage and an
