From the WaPo Ombudsman:
Roxana Tiron, a reporter for the Hill newspaper, said she was talking with a congressional staffer inside a House entrance to the Capitol when a "trembling" and "agitated" Carson said he and Lewis had just been called the N-word by protesters outside. "He literally grabbed me by the arm and . . . said 'You need to come out with me,' " imploring her to step back outside to listen to the taunts. Post reporter Paul Kane was nearby and witnessed Carson's reaction. "It was real. It was raw. It was angry. It was emotional. And he wanted it documented," recalled Kane, who said U.S. Capitol Police prevented them from going outside. Carson later told the Associated Press the protesters had chanted the N-word "15 times." Breitbart told me the "phantom 15 words" is "beyond absurd."
Through spokesman Justin Ohlemiller, Carson stands by his assertion. The spokeswoman for Lewis, Brenda Jones, insists he and his chief of staff heard repeated uses of the N-word. They are declining interviews, she said, because they don't want to "fan the flames of destructive language."
What I read is that Capitol Police were at the entrance, after all they 'prevented' them form going back out. So if this dispicable 'hate crime' was in progress just outside the entrnace on the steps, why would you pass the police and 'grab' a reporter? First it didn't happen, but forget the 100K reward, the entire 'incident' was planned and staged. We all know that they have underground tunnels to travel by (which is the height of arrogance). So why even walk through the crowd if not trying to instigate something? But to grab a reporter instead of the police is proof IMHO that 'fanning the flames' was the SOLE intent of the distinguished gentleman.
