Sec. Ben Carson Blames His Wife for $31,000 Table: ‘I Said, ‘What the Heck Is that All About?’

EXCERPT:

CARSON: "I had so many other things to do at that point. You know I had no assistant secretaries, I had no deputy secretary. You know I was running from place to place dealing with a lot of important issues. So I really wasn't that concerned about furniture. You know, the next thing that I quite frankly heard about it was that this $31,000 table had been bought. I said, what the heck is that all about?"
