  • Former GOP candidate Ben Carson made news headlines in December 2016, when President-elect Donald Trump's transition team announced his appointment as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the incoming administration. Along with the news, a meme (by then at least a year old) began circulating, suggesting that Carson once made a questionable remark about abortions and baby ghosts: We were unable to locate any interviews, transcripts, videos, or other media via which Carson made the attributed remarks or said anything resembling them. A November 2015 Facebook post traced the baby ghosts meme to a since-deleted Tumblr post; the context in which the meme was originally presented (either satirically or seriously) was no longer available: However, the quote appears to be a complete fabrication.
