Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson managed to find humor in a sad story from his past.
Telling the story of his parents' divorce to the crowd at a 2010 Martin Luther King luncheon in Peoria, Illinois, Carson cracked a joke about his mother discovering that his father had a second wife and family.
"Years later she discovered he was a bigamist. Had another family. I remember telling that story at a gradation at the University of Utah. Nobody thought it was that strange."
"See that! I offended somebody," Carson said. "Now everybody knows that they don't do that in Utah anymore, right?"
"Now it's Texas."
