Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson used to be a rockstar in Baltimore. But, after running as a Republican in the 2016 presidential election and accepting a post in the Trump administration, he has sullied his good name forever, according to a new report from the Associated Press.
Carson grew up in poverty, but he didn't let it define or hamper his dreams. He worked hard to eventually become the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. In 1987, he gained fame after performing an historic 22-hour surgery to separate conjoined twins. It's all in his autobiography, Gifted Hands. Then, his career took a slightly different turn. At the National Prayer Breakfast in 2013, Carson gave a now iconic speech about the dangers of socialized medicine, just feet away from President Obama. It made him a hero in the conservative movement and encouraged him to pursue a political career. He now serves as secretary for Housing and Urban Development in the Trump White House.
Carson's entry into politics, some Baltimore residents say, was a mistake. Since he is now associating himself with Trump, they don't want to associate with him.

Just imagine how much more Carson would have fallen from “grace” among the Demoncrats if he had won the nomination and the presidency.
“I once had a Democrat friend in college, He stole my girlfriend when I wasn’t looking. Haven’t had one since...”
I’m sure there’s still a nice woman out there for you somewhere.
The ASSociated Press
Opinions disguised as “facts”
Democrat friend or girlfriend?
The leftists have to somehow get Ben back on the plantation or he’ll be ostracized forever, burned from the annals of history the same way the politicians allowed Baltimore to burn to the ground a few years ago when the magic half negro watched in amusement.
It sounds like Dr. Carson has acted with courage all his life. He deserves a medal for leaving the Dem Plantation.
I would not support Carson for President, but I am convinced he is a good man. He’s a very accomplished physician.
It’s simply unacceptable what AP is trying to do to him here.
I’m not going to read the whole thing, but do the words “Uncle Tom” or “Coon” appear in the article?
WTF is going on at Town Hall???
Agreed.
Those words aren’t there not that AP probably wouldn’t have liked to include them.
Greta Van Susteren tweeted in support of Dr. Carson.
Exactly how many is “some”? And how many people DISAGREE with “some”? Won’t touch that one with a ten foot pole, will you, you slimy lying bastards?!
Townhall is calling out AP and the Rats in Baltimore for this fiasco.
Good for Susteren. Classy move.
Yes, I’m sure they were sorely tempted.
Thanks for the response.
Not the Donald Dems. Don’t believe me...attend a Trump rally. :-)
Always welcome, friend.
So what do they say about all of the kids helped with the Carson Foundation that gave scholarships to underprivileged kids and developed reading programs around the country?
The NFL kneelers do nothing to help anyone and this doctor who has saved countless lives and made others better is criticized.
Coming from Baltimore, that’s a compliment.
When LIEberals don’t like you, Ben, you are doing EVERYTHING RIGHT!
