We all know Trump has said racist things throughout his campaign. He even got endorsed by the KKK and conveniently denied knowing anything about the group.
One of the Republican candidates he squared off with earlier in the year is the black retired neurosurgeon, Ben Carson. Carson has made his own share of stupid comments. He insulted a fifth grader that asked him a question. He said the Egyptian pyramids were grain silos. He lied about stabbing someone. I could go on; these are just a few examples of his stupidity.
Ben Carson is no longer running for president; he has endorsed Donald Trump and now regrets it.
Wednesday morning, Carson appeared on The View. Whoopi Goldberg had been out sick this week, but we are SO glad she was there yesterday morning. Naturally, she asked Dr. Carson why he endorsed Trump. Here is his response:
“I was going to remain neutral, but then I realized that, you know, the political establishment was aligning to protect their turf. They don’t like the idea of people who are not beholden to them and who cannot be controlled coming into Washington, D.C. And that was one of the reasons they didn’t like me very much, but I was easier to get rid of than Donald Trump.”
Goldberg challenged Carson to explain why he would endorse Trump after all of the ugly thing’s he has said about women and all of his racist remarks. Carson has said that he talked with many African American members of Trump’s team, and they are happy with their boss. It’s like the person that says, “I’m not racist. I have some black friends.” Yeah, that logic isn’t going to work, Ben.
Here is Whoopi’s rebuttal to Carson:
“You can say that until the cows come home. But this guy, I’m sorry, he’s a racist and he’s not good for the country. I’m sorry, I don’t understand.”
The other hosts pitched in talking about the violence at Trump rallies, and Trump’s other nonsense. Whoopi struck again and totally nailed him!
“No, there isn’t a perfect person, but if you’re running for President of the United States of America, a country which has said to other countries, bring me the folks that you need, who need freedom, we’re here for you. When you talk about Mexicans being rapists and murderers, when you talk about women—if he had spoken to your wife the way he has spoken to some of these women, would you take that, sir?”
Carson said the candidates say what people want to hear, and Whoopi rightly rebutted with “That’s how Hitler got in.”
