Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson on Monday accused Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., of lacking “basic manners” over a letter she sent to President Trump last month saying his “shamelessness knows no bounds,” according to a report.

Waters’ Oct. 28 letter demanded answers about the administration’s potential plan to push homeless Californians off the street and out of homeless camps, Politico reported.

“Shamelessness,” Carson wrote, “is a career politician of 30 years laying blame. Shamelessness is allowing more than 55,000 Americans to live on the very streets they represent,” he said about her district in South Los Angeles County. …

Carson hit back well on this one.

If I ever need brain surgery, he’s my man!

California homelessness is a California problem the left wing politicians in California created. I do not think Trump should get the Federal government involved because it will be a thankless task in which they will then blame him for not fixing the problem they created. Let them sleep in their own waste, I say.

Bravo! Only a Ben Carson could say it in this politically correct era. And built in to his argument is self-protection when called Uncle Tom— only a shameless black person would say that about a man who is a neurosurgeon.

Having live in SoCal for almost 60 years, I can tell you this. The Homeless [problem in Los Angeles Literally Exploded overnight with the Election of Barack Obama. Don’t get me wrong, we had homeless and skid row for a long time, but it wasn’t until the Marxist Muslim Petulant Man Child assumed office that within a year it TRIPLED!!! Just as he Promised in his campaign.

If you haven’t seen Candace Owens’ interview with Dr Carson on PragerU, check it out. Two clearer examples of what this nation stands for - opportunity for those willing to work for it, regardless of color - could not be found.

WOW ——— he may keep a low profile and we don’t hear much from him or about him but this is a home run! Nothing that the witch can counter or argue about...they are sleeping on the streets in the area she represents but certainly NOT in the area where she lives!

We don’t hear from Carson often enough, but when we do....he gets the day’s “GOTCHA” award.

Maxine is a crook from her first breath.

I love this man. We loved him here in Maryland for many years before he decided to serve the country. He is the heart and soul of decency.

While he is now too old and there are too many years since he has practiced to continue doing brain surgery, your comment sounded very negative. What were you trying to say about Dr. Carson?

I said nothing about Carson, just a snarky comment on picking brain surgeons based on their political pronouncements

Not irritated, I just thought it was an opportunity to joke about it. That’s the opposite of being irritated.

You on the other hand..........
