Pro Ben Carson fundraising spikes after Muslim questioning
The Washington Times ^ | September 22, 2015 | Kelly Riddell

The super PAC supporting neurosurgeon Ben Carson for GOP president has seen a surge of donations since his appearance Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” where Mr. Carson said he wouldn’t advocate for a Muslim to be president of the United States.

“We sent out an email to Carson supporters, and we’ve never had an email raise so much money so quickly — it’s unbelievable,” said John Philip Sousa IV, who chairs the 2016 Committee super PAC. “My phone has exploded over the last 48 hours — of people wanting me to pass on to Dr. Carson how much they respect his truthfulness and believe in the American system, and how absolutely not should anyone who believes in Sharia law come close to the White House. The people are on Dr. Carson’s side on this one — sorry NBC you lose.”......................"

People are starting to address the Muslim issue- most were too fearful and PC to do so until recently. Thank you Dr. Carson. I am not in the least surprised that this was a fund-raising winner.

Once again demonstrating that the Washington elites are totally out of touch with the concerns of ordinary people.

As soon as I read the story about Carson, I knew it was the best thing that could have happened to his campaign which was in decline at the time. The media does not get and it is the same reason they can not understand why Trump is doing so well.

the muslims may not want voters to find out what is actually in Sharia. It will bring up unpleasant questions they will be asked

Good for Dr. Carson., He’s an awesome man. I just don’t think he is presidential.

Its time for the PC tower of babel to fall.

Too long Americans have let the left control the narrative.

America is for Americans... Piss be upon those who hate us

Why would anyone in DC care about the working class? Pay your bills and shut up.

With Europe running in the background (like Germany will have to take in one mil plus in a yr???) People better get blunt.

IMPRESSIVE that Carson can understand Islam and Sharia so well for a guy that struggles on Open Borders and was clueless on the Second Amendment (both much easier topics to understand).

If I didn’t know better, I’d suspect that The Establishment is putting him up to this, so as to take a piece of meat off of Trump.

But then what do I know?
