Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson defended the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh by bringing up his own experience of being falsely named in a paternity claim.
At the Value Voters Summit in Washington, DC on Friday, Carson, 67, said sexual predators are 'abominable' but added that there are 'two sides to every story'.
The former neurosurgeon, who was appointed to President Donald Trump's Cabinet in March 2017, then told the story of a woman who claimed he was the father of her son and demanded child support.

The former neurosurgeon told the story of how a woman in Florida claimed he had fathered a son with her, but he said he wasn't intimidated because he 'knew that the only woman I had ever slept with in my entire life was my wife'. Pictured: Carson with his wife, August 2018
He says while he was operating at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, he received a call from the university attorneys saying they were attaching his wages to a child support claim.
'I said: "I have three children and I support them very well",' he told the crowd of his conversation with the attorneys.
'They said: "No, there is a woman in Florida. She says you are the father of her son. And she knows where you went to high school, college, medical school, internship, residency, even has a picture of you in scrubs".'
However, Carson, said he knew that the allegations were false because of his so-called 'secret weapon'.
'I knew that the only woman I had ever slept with in my entire life was my wife,' he said.
Carson and his wife Candy met in 1971 as students at Yale University.
They married in 1975 and have three sons Rhoeyce, Benjamin Junior, and Murray, as well as several grandchildren.
Carson has told the story of the false claim several times, dating as far back as 2003, according to Mediaite, especially in a lengthy Washington Times op-ed in 2014.
The attorneys asked him to provide a blood sample so DNA testing could be performed, but Carson refused.
'I said: "Are you kidding me? You people, as incompetent as you are, want me to send you a sample of my blood? It'll be at a murder scene and I'll be in jail for the rest of my life".'
Carson also told the crowd on Friday that he believed Kavanaugh's opponents had become 'desperate'.
Kavanaugh, 53, currently serves as a judge on the powerful US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
He was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Trump in July, but has seen his confirmation process disrupted by an allegation from a California professor that he sexually assaulted her while they were in high school.
Kavanaugh, 53 (pictured, September 2018), has been accused by Dr Christine Blasey Ford of attempting to force himself onto her when they were teenagers in Maryland in the 1980s
After days of negotiations, Ford (pictured) has agreed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, as has Kavanaugh
President Trump accused Ford of exaggerating what happened and accusing Democratic lawyers and operatives of plotting to ruin Kavanaugh
Dr Christine Blasey Ford says a drunken Kavanaugh attempted to force himself onto her when they were teenagers in Maryland in the 1980s - allegations Kavanaugh has denied.
After days of negotiations, she has agreed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, as has Kavanaugh.
The accusations were first reported to two Democratic lawmakers in July, but only became public this month, just as Kavanaugh's confirmation seemed all but assured.
A few hours before Carson spoke on Friday, President Trump attacked Ford directly by accusing her of exaggerating what happened and accusing Democratic lawyers and operatives of plotting to ruin Kavanaugh.
He tweeted: 'I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents.
'I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
