Carson shocks CNN host: 'Maybe that's the problem'
The Washington Examiner ^ | October 11, 2016 | T. Becket Adams

Posted on 10/12/2016 4:20:22 AM PDT by kevcol

A CNN anchor was left visibly shocked Tuesday after Ben Carson suggested that part of the problem with the scandal surrounding lewd comments Donald Trump made in 2005 is that journalists aren't more familiar with that kind of language.
.
.
.
"So you've heard people talking like this?" Keilar asked.

"I've heard people talking like that — of course. Are you kidding me?" Carson said.

Keilar persisted, "Where are you hanging out and with whom are you hanging out that you hear people talking like that?"

Best answer? “I’m a black man, I been hanging out with Democrats my entire life!”

Oh, puh-leeeeez!

Get. a. life.

Wow. With all that’s going on in the world, they’re still talking about this?

Seems to me the progressives ALWAYS press for the apology.
When the sincere appology is given, the progressives NEVER accept the appology, they seek a scalp

I was on board Ted Turner’s boat following the America’s Cup race back in 1977. I heard enough talk of naughty bits, where they go, and with who’s partner, to last me all these decades until I might survive a clip of Donald Trump. And he owns CNN, or at least did.

That's why they are still talking about this. While the sheep are distracted, they are led to the slaughter house.

The idea that women aren’t familiar with frank sexual talk is bunk. There were 27 million copies of 50 Shades of Grey sold in the US, to a demographic tilted heavily to women. It wasn’t Girl Scouts buying it.

My children were exposed daily to the gutter filth of the Clintons. Screw you CNN and the wicked witch of the west you are attempting to whitewash.

Anyone remember Ted Kennedy and Chris Dodd asking their waitress for “a Kennedy / Dodd sandwich”? Complete with a demonstration?

Yes folks you heard it right- the MSM, most politicians, entertainers, Democrats (et al) are inherently puritanical and chaste.

BHO’s favorite rappers might be too!

The Marine Corp was unavailable for comment, however, a local morning radio host and former marine seems to be utterly shocked by such speech.

It’s mind-blowing to me that the media thinks they can sink Trump with this, when there’s a generation that learned what oral sex (and off-label uses of cigars) was from Bill’s escapades... a generation now old enough to vote.

And isn’t that a very sad commentary on the state of morals in our country.

My gosh! After intentionally NOT reading or listening to the “sexual aggression” talk of this horrible Trump sex tape for all these days, I finally read it in this article because I was interested in Ben Carson’s take.

Good GRIEF! THIS is what all the phony outrage is about? Ben and I must have many of the same friends. I now don’t even think Billy Bush sat on this to be particularly sneaky. He just knew it was off color a bit but not particularly damning. Only a coordinated effort by the leftist elites and nevertrumpers could make this into anything at all.

Gee. It actually is a backhanded compliment to the woman who apparently is now known and who doesn’t appear to be worried about it. Again, Gee!

In 1999 we took our three children to 'see' WDC... My youngest, a daughter would NOT get out of the car to get a closer look at the Clinton whore house. Talk about feeling nauseated.

The same people who read 50 Shades of Grey are offended, and have never, ever heard such? Please.

Just so.

Dem apology (for major crimes): they’ve apologized, let’s move on.

GOP apology (for thoughtcrime): they’ve apologized, but they didn’t sound sincere.
