WEST PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—
Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon, stirred controversy on Thursday by saying in a televised interview that he had no recollection of running for President of the United States.
Appearing on the Fox News Channel, Dr. Carson responded to host Sean Hannity’s question about his ten-month-long candidacy by saying, “I do not recall any of that occurring.”
“I’ve been told that I did it, but I find it impossible to believe,” he said. “I don’t think I’d forget a thing like that.”
Dr. Carson said he had seen photographs and videos of him campaigning for the Republican nomination but called them “the work of an evil person who is really good at PhotoShop and whatnot.”
He said he did not know who would create such an elaborate hoax to convince him that he had run for President “when I clearly did not,” but he speculated about the person’s motives.
“Someone is trying to mess with my mind,” he said. “And when I find out who is doing that I will make them pay dearly.”
While Carson insisted that “there is no way I ran for President,” he did not rule out running for the Republican nomination in the future.
“I think I’d be really good at it,” he said
