Silencing the Media – Ben Carson Demands a Reporter’s Mic Be Cut – Video

She asked a very valid question but Ben Carson wasn’t about to answer. And to get away from answering the question, Carson demanded that her mic be turned off.

Kathy Kay was on the Morning Joe’s panel and explained to Trump’s advisor, Ben Carson, that some women choose to remain silent about being sexually abused because they are usually accused of lying. Carson had previously defended Donald Trump against the women accusing him of inappropriate behavior, so Kathy Kay wanted to know from Carson if the women accusing Trump of sexual abuse were lying.

I want to push you on this allegation of sexual abuse, because you seem to be suggesting this morning in this interview with your description of the first class cabin and in previous interviews that these women are lying. The real reason that women who have been sexually abused don’t come forward to talk about thier stories is precisely this, that all too often they are accused of being liars. Are you saying that these women are lying?

Carson tried to sideswipe the question by asking, “can you turn her microphone off, please?”

I think he’s been hanging around Donald Trump too long.

Ben Carson – America Can Afford a Horrible Four Years Under a President Trump

According to reporting by The Hill, Ben Carson explained why he decided to throw his support behind Donald Trump. 

According to Carson, a former Republican presidential candidate, he is willing to put the future of the country into the hands of an inexperienced, political novice, because America can apparently afford a horrible four years under Trump.

Ben Carson on late Monday argued that the worst possible outcome of Donald Trump lacking the right skills for a quality presidency is a single, four-year term under the billionaire.

“The way I look at it, even if Donald Trump turns out not to be such a great president – which I don’t think is the case, I think he’s going to surround himself with really good people – but even if he didn’t, we’re only looking at four years,” the former GOP presidential candidate said on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show.” “[That’s] opposed to multiple generations and perhaps the loss of the American dream forever.”

Party before country, it’s the Republican way!

Carson’s Prayer – Hoping that People “Wake Up Before it’s Too Late”

Hope and prayer. That’s Ben Carson’s path to victory… maybe.

“Well, we clearly don’t know. We don’t have a well-defined path to victory,” Bob Dees told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday

“But we think the opportunity still exists for people to wake up, and that’s what we’re hoping.”

Dees said the campaign is hoping people gravitate toward Carson before it’s too late.

“Thomas Jefferson talked about that. He said that democracy depends on well-informed voters,” he said.

“He also said that he thought America would go down this path and the people would be manipulated [but] just before it was too late, people would wake up and regain their senses and start doing the right thing. We are hopeful that that occurs, and that along the way, people start doing the right thing.”

Carson has said in the past that he plans to stay in the race despite low poll numbers and having won few delegates.

The candidate said Tuesday that Republican officials have asked him to suspend his campaign. But he said that going into Super Tuesday, people could “awaken and recognize that just what they were asking for is what I have presented for them.” 

Donors have also tried to get Carson to drop out, Dees said.

“That’s been very tangible. It’s been several … two groups of billionaire types of folks that have pressured him,” he added. 

“People that drive super PAC activity and other endeavors and, in fact, there was even discussion of a, well, we can help with the Florida [U.S.] Senate seat if he’ll just agree to do what we’d like you to do or support our guy, drop out, etc. … [R]equests like that to subvert the system really galvanize him further and really substantiate the premise of which he’s in this race to start with.”

Carson Doubles Down – Barack Obama “was, you know, raised white”

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson was awarded a little spotlight from the media today when he said that President Obama was not raised like a typical African-American, but was “raised white.” Carson then went on CNN and doubled down on that original statement.

“I grew up in Detroit, and I grew up in Boston. In Boston, we lived in the ghetto. There were a lot of violent episodes there. There were rats, there were roaches. It was dire poverty,” Carson said, speaking of his mother who worked around-the-clock but refused to accept welfare. “Now, let me contrast that to the President, who went to private schools, grew up in a relatively affluent environment, had an opportunity to live in multiple cultures and different countries. I think that’s a very different experience.”

Carson maintained that he was not “criticizing” Obama. But he had gone further in an interview with Politico’s Glenn Thrush on his “Off Message” podcast that aired Tuesday.

“He’s an ‘African’ American. He was, you know, raised white,” the retired neurosurgeon said. “So, for him to, you know, claim that, you know, he identifies with the experience of black Americans, I think, is a bit of a stretch.”

Revealed – Cruz Pulls Carson into a Closet And…

It’s the pinnacle of hypocrisy – say a big lie in public with the goal of misleading, then try to correct your lie in secret when no one is watching. And that is exactly what the Ted Cruz campaign is accused of doing to the Ben Carson campaign.

In the first voting event in Iowa, Ted Cruz and his campaign was accused of stealing the election by fooling Ben Carson’s supporters, telling them that their candidate was dropping out and that they should vote for Cruz. The goal was successful and Ted Cruz pulled off what none of the polls predicted – an Iowa win.

On Thursday night when no one was looking, Ted Cruz pulled Ben Carson into… a closet of all places to, I hope, personally apologize for his Iowa lie. The closet meeting took about 20 minutes and according to Carson’s campaign, the meeting on Thursday night “did not go well.”

Senior Carson spokesperson Jason Osborne said to The Daily Beast that the meeting “did not go well” because he did not have time to prepare Carson for the discussion, which went long enough that Carson’s staff had to knock on the door to get him ready to speak at the event. The Beast, citing an unidentified party operative, reported that the two met for between 20 and 25 minutes while Carson’s Secret Service detail stood outside the closet.

According to Osborne, Carson told him that he and the Tea Party senator agreed to “disagree on accountability and culpability.”

A spokesperson for Cruz’s campaign, Rick Tyler, also confirmed that the meeting took place, saying, “Yes, they had a good visit.”

This is what happens when you put a bunch of Republicans in a room – Total and utter Confusion, as no one seems to know which way is up.

Watch, as debate moderators race through the introduction for the Republican presidential candidates. That, coupled with the applause of adoring Republican fans and the mindlessness of the candidates themselves, managed to mess up a perfectly ordinary and otherwise uneventful introduction.

The Adventures of Ben Carson – The Time He Captured a Carjacker – Video

To hear his wife, Candy Carson tell the tale, our favorite super hero Ben was on his way home from a hard day’s work when all of a sudden, there was a gas station! Ben felt the need… no… the urge to stop for gas and decided against paying at the pump. He went into the establishment, cash in hand when alas, a perp was driving away in “his baby”, the Jaguar!

Carson, being the good guy that he is, obviously completed the transaction before exposing the B on his chest. His action music obviously came on as he sprinted off behind the vehicle, apparently at speeds the Jaguar and its driver couldn’t muster. Moments later, our favorite super hero caught up with the car and carjacker who was still trying to steal the ride.

To make a long story short, Carson then turned on the charm, wooing the carjacker into total submission. Said carjacker surrendered to the one, as the two posed for pictures, you know, lemme take a selfie!

Three Ben Carson Campaign Staffers Jump Ship with Resignations

A few days ago, Ben Carson inadvertently lit a fire under his campaign staff, telling the media that he planned to shake things up with his failing campaign. The problem then, was Carson’s campaign staffers knew nothing of Carson’s plan or how he planned to shake things up.

So they decided to shake thinks up for the Republican presidential candidate by resigning.

Thursday morning, campaign manager Barry Bennett and communications director Doug Watts announced they “have resigned from the Carson campaign effective immediately.”

“We respect the candidate and we have enjoyed helping him go from far back in the field to top tier status,” Watts told ABC News Thursday. “Having just announced raising $23m for the 4th Q, more than any other Republican candidate, and passing 1 million contributions and over 600k unique donors since March, we are proud of our efforts for Dr. Carson and we wish him and his campaign the best of luck.”

Inside Ben Carson’s Possible Staff Shake-up

Thursday afternoon, ABC News learned that the deputy campaign manager and policy director Lisa Coen also resigned, according to the new Carson campaign manager, Ed Brookover.

He says this is the only additional staff resignation he knows of right now.

The Must See Ben Carson Ad You Probably Missed – Video

HUGE shout out to Rachel Maddow for highlighting these political ads on Wednesday’s show. Ms Maddow called this ad by Republican presidential candidate, Ben Carson, of the “best television political ad” she’s seen this year. And after checking it out for myself, I must agree. Ben Carson and his team outdid themselves with “These Hands.”

But with a mega-mouth called Donald Trump running for president, political ads are just a waste of time and money. Don’t believe me? Ask Jeb! who has spent almost $40 million on ads so far, only to see a return of 3% support for his campaign.

Political ads are mute in 2015.

With that said, check out “These Hands” by Ben Carson.

Ben Carson Goes After Ted Cruz – Cruz “spent his time schmoozing for big money”

Ben Carson was once considered the front-runner in the Republican race for the presidential nomination in 2016, but Carson has seen his support erode, mainly because of a political onslaught of attacks from Donald Trump. Ted Cruz, has no doubt gather up much of Carson’s support and has effectively taken second place behind Trump. Now, Carson is resorting to the politician in him and going after Ted Cruz.

In comparing himself and his work to that of Ted Cruz, Carson argued that unlike Cruz, he spent his life making life-or-death operating calls instead of attending swanky parties and raised campaign cash in an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.

“There’s no question as I haven’t spent a lot of time schmoozing and asking for big money and going to cocktail parties, but I’ve spent many a night in the operating room — cold, sterile place with a little child’s life on the line working very hard to preserve that,” Carson said.

“You know, it’s a very different kind of experience,” he said. “Lots of 2 a.m. in the morning calls and making snap decisions on what needs to be done.”

Of course, Carson’s attack came after The New York Times released audio of Cruz criticizing both Donald Trump and Ben Carson’s ability to be commander-in-chief.

“Who is prepared to be a commander-in-chief?” Cruz says on the audio. ?Who understands the threats we face? Who am I comfortable having their finger on the button? Now that’s a question of strength, but it’s also a question of judgment. And I think that is a question that is a challenging question for voters.”

Ben Carson Threatens to Leave the Republican Party If…

Republican presidential candidate, Ben Carson is once again siding with for Donald Trump. In recent news, the establishment Republican party got together trying to come up with alternatives just in case the establishment candidates [Jeb, Rubio, Cruz etc] don’t get the nomination. Ben Carson took this as “the beginning of a plan to subvert the will of the voters,” and said if that is the case, he will not be a part of such a party!

“If this was the beginning of a plan to subvert the will of the voters and replace it with the will of the political elite, I assure you Donald Trump will not be the only one leaving the party,” Carson said in a statement.

Carson responded to a Washington Post report that Republican leaders met this week to discuss what to do if no candidate wins a majority of delegates heading into the party convention next July. GOP leaders also reportedly discussed how to cope with Trump’s rise to the top of most GOP polls.

Said Carson:

“I pray that the report in the Post this morning was incorrect. If it is correct, every voter who is standing for change must know they are being betrayed. I won’t stand for it.”

When asked by ABC News about the potential for a third-party run, Carson said, “I have no intentions of running as an independent. But I certainly don’t want to be a part of corruption.”

Ben Carson Apologizes for Agreeing With Donald Trump’s Lie

So much bullshit dropping from Donald Trump’s mouth over the last few days, it’s hard to keep up! Since the terrorist attacks in Paris, Trump has been the top politician in the country and the only politicians who masterfully use the tragedy for his own personal gain. Once trailing his fellow Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson for the GOP nomination for President, Donald Trump now leads the field and he leads by a lot!

One of the many droppings from Trump’s mouth is the claim that “thousands and thousands” of people in New Jersey celebrated in the streets when the Twin Towers came crumbling down. In a speech to some of his supporters in Alabama on Saturday, Trump said he “watched the World Trade Center go down” and watched in New Jersey, “as thousands of people were cheering as the building was coming down.” The claim has been widely discredited, but Trump doubled and tripled down, insisting that he in fact saw “thousands and thousands” of people in Jersey cheered and celebrated the attacks on the Twin Towers.

“Hey, I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down,” Trump said on ABC on Sunday. “And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down,” Trump said Saturday at the rally. “Thousands of people were cheering. So something’s going on. We’ve got to find out what it is.”

Ben Carson. Remember him? He once led the Republican field in Iowa. Carson apparently thought that agreeing with Trump would get his name in the news again and thus, keep him relevant. Asked by reporters if he knew what Trump was talking about, Carson replied, “yes,” then stated that he “saw video” of the thousands and thousands celebrating in New Jersey.

“There are going to be people who respond inappropriately to virtually everything. I think that was an inappropriate response. I don’t know if on the basis of that all Muslims are bad people,”

Carson’s decision to ride Trump’s insane coat-tail however, did not give him the boost he looked for. So just about 24 hours later, Carson issued an apology for lying about the “thousands and thousands” celebrating in Jersey.
