In this Nov. 11, 2015, photo, Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson speaks at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.

Carson last week clarified previous claims that he’d been offered a scholarship to West Point, saying that while he’d been told he could get an appointment to the school, he never applied.
