Ben Carson appears to be having a rough go with the media as of late, as it seems there have been several questions to the validity of his "I once tried to stab someone when I was 14 years old" story. While Carson claims that his anger issues got the best of him as a young man, several media outlets are not so sure. As a result of the scrutiny, he's begun exclaiming that President Barack Obama was not met with such vetting into his private life during his time on the campaign trail. And, well, it looks like it took Daily Show host Trevor Noah to remind him that Obama had a pretty tough time before, and during, his presidency.
After sticking to his story that he once attempted to stab a "close relative" of his with a camping knife – and was stopped due to the stabee's belt buckle – there have apparently been several people who say the opposite of Carson.
The Daily Show reports that there have been ten schoolmates who claim that the person Carson is describing is far from their memories of the young future neurosurgeon. Of course, Caron is sticking to his story. Which seems all too weird to Noah.
"So the media is saying, 'Those rumors about you having a clean record and you being an upstanding member of society, those things are true,'" Noah said. "And Ben Carson is like, 'Bullsh*t! I'm dangerous and I try to kill people and I'm a bad person and I should be president!"
Noah then commented on Carson's belief that the Egyptian pyramids were built by Joseph (you know, from The Bible), and used to store grain. He then showed the GOP frontrunner that, while he claims President Obama had it easy during his campaign, nothing could be farther from the truth.
