Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Wednesday defended his comments that he would try to overwhelm a shooter and “would not just stand there” in a mass shooting attack.
“I would say, ‘Everybody attack, ‘” Carson added. “And I just said, ‘I believe that you want the guy behind the counter, ‘” Carson.
“This is where I think – whether it’s willful or subconscious – I feel like we’ve had a blind spot”, Brzezinski said about Carson.

The tactic is a new one for Trump, who has often used Twitter to attack his competitors – including Carson — for the Republican nomination.
“Some people sit there and they say, these poor victims, that they did the best they could, and that it sounds-I understand what you’re trying to say underneath, but the problem sometimes is the way it comes across, and it’s something that you run into time and time again with the comment on Muslims being president and a few other things”.
Hochsprung was one of the first people to confront Adam Lanza, the gunman at Sandy Hook.
Yet, when Fox News’ Martha MacCullum asked Carson Tuesday morning to elaborate on his comments about Umpqua, he repeated his initial statement.
INCREASINGLY UNHINGED commentary by Republican presidential candidates about the massacre last week at a community college in Oregon might not seem worth a second glance. Carson would admit that Obama was born in the United States, but as for the president being a Christian, he delivered the standard “I’ll take him at his word” response favored by many on the right. “There is no doubt that this senseless violence is breathtaking – but I never saw a body with bullet holes that was more devastating than taking the right to arm ourselves away”.
