Ben Carson, Perhaps the Greatest Deep-Cover Double Agent Ever

From the last Morning Jolt of the week:

Carson: Trump Privately Admitted to Me Attacking the Judge Was Wrong

I take it all back – well, most of it. Evidence is mounting that Ben Carson is the greatest deep-cover double agent of all time.

In public, Donald Trump insists his racial attacks on an Indiana-born judge of Mexican descent have been “misconstrued.” But in private, Trump concedes he made a mistake, according to Ben Carson, a top advisor and former rival for the Republican presidential nomination.

“He fully recognizes that that was not the right thing to say,” Carson said in an interview, noting he’s heard Trump say so himself during a private meeting this week at Trump Tower.

Now it’s a near-certainty that Trump will get asked about Carson’s comments. Can anyone envision Trump saying, “yes, in private, I told Ben Carson that what I said was wrong?” It’s much more likely Trump will insist Carson’s account is false and Carson doesn’t know what the heck he’s talking about.

It’s theoretically possible Trump will just say, “I’m not talking about this issue anymore.”
