Ben Carson Urges Black Voters to Back Donald Trump
Wall Street Journal ^ | Sept. 4, 2016 | Ian Talley

Ben Carson, an adviser to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, said Sunday that African-American voters should back the GOP nominee as an agent of change after decades of inner-city failure under Democratic governance.

Mr. Trump, trying to court an African-American populace that has largely rejected the GOP contender so far, on Saturday visited a black church and called for “a civil-rights agenda for our time.’’ He cited discrimination and disparities in education, employment and public safety for African-Americans.

Mr. Carson said the GOP candidate offered black voters “an alternative to promises (by Democrats) that are not kept.”

THAT photo is a TERRIBLE shot of Ben Carson, doing a GREAT interview with liberal journo-list—Jeremy Bates (sp?).
Wish there was a tape of that interview.
Carson did a fantastic job of setting the reporter straight on the real reasons why Detroit and other inner-city Democrat run cities are in such bad shape, and how Trump”s plans to deal with their issues are so much better than those of the party of Hide-a-Beast.

Santa can only promise you a pony so many times before you stop believing him.

The last two times he promised them a skittles pooping unicorn.

He was interviewed by Jeremy Diamond of CNN. I saw a link in a thread here the other day, but can’t find it now.
Tried to find in on CNN and couldn’t find it there either. It was a good interview.
