I agree that it’s not a big scandal, but I’m very disappointed in Ben because his good character is why I supported him. Last night he didn’t seem honest to me.
What Armstrong Williams, his top aide, said about the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrahkan is far more troubling. As far as I know Ben Carson hasn’t disowned Williams remarks. He evidently said that he and Armstrong Williams are like brothers and it was a package deal.

I also didn’t like Carson’s Ferguson remarks where he second guessed the policeman.
I didn’t understand how Carson could take the absurd position he did about Michael Brown until I read about his own experiences of attacking someone with a knife and his own mother with a hammer.
Guess Gentle Ben and the Gentle Giant have something in common.
