Ben Carson Compares Syrian Refugees To ‘Rabid Dogs’

“In medicine we have something called continuing medical education. You stop making excuses and you start looking for solutions”. “How many times can this keep happening?”

Williams estimates Carson has been spending “40 percent of his time” in foreign policy briefings in recent weeks.

He says new restrictions wouldn’t mean America lacks compassion.

Carson has proven adept at selling his brand, which is in part based on his humility.

“He is coming to the end of a long career of serving our country”.

That concern could grow if Carson is unable to course-correct and if his opponents are able to exploit this weakness.

Tuesday night: Carson tells PBS that Clarridge is “not my adviser”.

When asked if the Islamic State now is a bigger threat to the USA than al Qaeda around the time of the 9/11 attack, Carson did not hesitate, responding in the affirmative.

Carson said, “Islam itself is not necessarily our adversary”.

While Carson may be a new candidate on the political trail, others have been a fan for years and made it a point to be at the free event.

Carson went on to say violent extremists are like rabid dogs. You need to make sure they understand that when you don’t vote – you are voting.

“For one thing we are putting on the backs of our children incalculable debt”, said Carson. I would look at all the pathways, entrance and exit, like in Sinjar. You know a few of those people…

Though controversial, Carson is not entirely unpopular among African-American voters, as they hold him at an nearly 35 percent favorability rating, according to The Economist/YouGov survey in October. He has repeatedly tried different lines against Carson since the retired neurosurgeon surged to challenge Trump’s No. 1 status in the polls. “You don’t get to determine what you answer”.

Williams also acts as a surrogate for Carson on television. Ted Cruz of Texas said in a statement following the attacks.

“Republicans either don’t talk about race or they avoid it”, said Angela K. Lewis, Ph.D., the director of the political science program at the University of Alabama and author of “Conservatism in the Black Community: To the Right and Misunderstood”.

Those attacks, he said, “really didn’t require a great deal of sophistication because we weren’t really paying attention”. “It does not like the people who have them”. In turn, The Times pointed out that Carson’s own team had touted Clarridge as a foreign-policy hand.
