Another odd Ben Carson story: How he refused a DNA test to settle a ‘blackmail’ paternity suit.
Another odd Ben Carson story: How he refused a DNA test to settle a blackmail paternity suit.
{snip}
as Republicans gather in Milwaukee for the Fox Business Network debate Tuesday night, one very strange Carson tale has yet to be delved into: the candidates contention, discussed in speeches and an op-ed as recently as last year, that he was sued for paternity by an unnamed woman in Florida and refused to give a DNA sample to resolve the case.

Then he could maybe avoid all that.
Why doesn't he want his DNA "in the system," I wonder?

(31,849 posts)His "Yes ... I really was a violent teen" elicited the "nurse affair" comment ... now, there is a previous unknown allegation of an affair ... FBI Cold Case Unit, start following this guy around and accuse him of some random sh!t ... See if he'll drop a name and the location of the body.

(51,554 posts)Shortly thereafter, the suit was dropped with no further ramifications. Im virtually certain that the woman in Florida erroneously assumed that someone who travels as much as I do was probably engaging in numerous extramarital affairs and probably wouldnt even remember all the parties with whom he had been involved. Under such circumstances, she assumed that I would be willing to fork over the money to avoid public embarrassment.
What she didnt know is that I did not have to scratch my head and try to remember which affair she represented, because I knew that the only woman I have ever slept with in my life was my wife. Even if that had not been the case, I think confession and dealing with the consequences would have been the best course of action.

(31,849 posts)seemingly out of place "Oh there must be a nurse somewhere that he had an affair with" comment he made as he was defending his violent past story.
