Ben Carson's approach to handling Donald Trump's insults is different from every other 2016 Republican presidential candidate's: He apologizes for provoking them.
"I said something that sounded like I was questioning his faith," Mr. Carson said in an interview at a Holiday Inn Express here.
"I really wasn't.
I was really talking more about mine.
But it was said in an inappropriate way, which I recognized, and I apologized for that.
It's never my intention to impugn other people."
The Trump-Carson collision was inevitable as the two rose in the polls together.
Mr. Trump's audacious campaign has upended Republican politics this summer, and Mr. Carson has drafted quietly behind.
