Donald Trump slammed fellow Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson in an Instagram video posted Friday, implying the retired neurosurgeon’s stories of a violent past make him a criminal or a liar.
The video, captioned “Happy Friday the 13th,” opens with unsourced interview footage of a younger Carson recounting the near-stabbing.
“I had a large hunting knife, and I tried to stab him in the abdomen,” Carson says in the footage.
As foreboding true crime music plays, the video cuts to an undated CNN interview with an unnamed Carson “neighbor,” apparently responding to stabbing story.
“Whaaaaat?” the neighbor says.
“Does it fit with the guy who you knew?” the interviewer asks him.
“No,” the neighbor responds, shaking his head.
The video ends with stark black-and-white, all caps text declaring: “Violent criminal? Or pathological liar? We don’t need either as president.”
