Ben Carson As Much As Admits He Sold Out To Trump

  • Politics

Plus, he also admitted he would have preferred another candidate.

In a video for Newsmax TV, Dr. Ben Carson pretty much admitted that he was offered a position—at least “an advisory capacity” with Donald Trump if he won the Presidency.

Verbatim,

Carson: I do believe, and certainly in my discussions with Donald Trump, he does love America and he does want to be successful. And, he will surround himself with very good people.

Newsmax’s Steve Malzberg: And will one of them be Dr. Ben Carson?

Carson: I will be doing things as well, yeah.

Malzberg: In the administration.

Carson: Certainly in an advisory capacity.

Malzberg: That’s been determined? You’ve, when you sat down with him that was discussed?

Carson: Yes.

Now, combine this statement with others earlier in the interview.

Carson: I have to look at what is practical and what is going to save this country and the American dream for the next generation. Is there another scenario that I would have preferred? Yes. But that scenario isn’t available.

Malzberg: With one of the other candidates you mean?

Carson: Yeah.

What would anyone conclude? Carson admitted that he would have rather have endorsed someone else, but no one else matched Trump’s offer.

The doubters among you should watch the video. The Newsmax article can be found here.

I’ll bet even Chris Christie held out for more.
