6:04Now PlayingDemocracynow.org - Neurosurgeon Ben Carson remains a leading Republican candidate despite questions over whether he’s embellished multiple aspects of his life story. At Tuesday’s Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee, Carson was questioned about recent news reports questioning the accuracy of his biographical record. We discuss Carson and the GOP with The New Republic’s Jamil Smith. "The complex of the 'black bogeyman' within Republican politics has not gone away," Smith says. "Just because Willie Horton is in prison doesn’t mean they haven’t gone searching in this election cycle — they [unsuccessfully] tried with Black Lives Matter. ... I recommend they look internally because they really need to deal with Ben Carson, who is presenting this false narrative of himself."
