George Stephanopoulos asks Ben Carson whether it's appropriate for President Trump to give his RNC acceptance speech on August 27th in Jacksonville, given that date is the 60th anniversary of "Ax Handle Saturday" in that city, in which KKK members beat a largely black group of civil rights protesters.
Carson says that we need to "grow up" and stop being offended by everything. Invited to comment, Stacey Abrams calls Ben Carson's comment "fairly infantile."

The media ignored the 40th anniversary of Bill Ayres bombing the Pentagon, it wouldn’t have had good optics for his pal President Barack Obama.
Not everything, only you and your ilk, Grimace
Yep. Libs will come up with a new black day of outrage anniversary everyday until election day.
Note as always, Liberals never can argue, they just throw insults.
Gee Stacy, Ben Carson was a world reknown pediatric neurosurgeon, what was it you do again?
The news (demonkrap) media will completely shut down on both days in respect, for a 24 hour moment of silence, yes?
Is his rally on June 5, National Donut Day a silent nod to rascist cops?
What about the one on Feb 2, Groundhog Day?
Is it insulting to fat, brown people that think they can predict the future and rewrite history?
The fact that leftist have elevated Stacey Abrams into a position of authority is racist in itself. Abrams has NEVER been elected to any office (she was appointed to the GA House Chair seat). This is what DemonRats do - they use blacks via the Peter Principle!
When I lived in Texas decades ago was when I learned about Juneteenth. It was a low key, respectful, respected celebration where I was living (Austin) at that time. Not anymore now that the race hustlers need to generate money and riots.
This begs the question ... what did obozo do on these days in the 8 years he occupied the [neutral color] House? I don’t recall empty suit, teleprompter in chief doing anything special to commemorate.
Since I have never heard of it, I really don’t know what anyone did special on this day...I never heard obozo mention anything like it...
“...what was it you do again?”
It’s the news media version of minor league hockey. Every team had a couple of goons who could stand up on skates. Their job was to get on the ice and take cheap, dirty shots at the other side’s better players. Except Stacy couldn’t stay up on her skates here as Ben Carson whizzed right by her.
Family cook outs / bbq, and grocery and retail store sales were about it. And remembering that a [republican] President set the slaves free.
Really? I”m sure this has already been covered, but a perpetually aggrieved racist vs a renowned pediatric neurosurgeon? Is there NO end to their own “infantile grievance”? Rhetorical question. I admire so many accomplished black men and women because they excelled in life.
Carson says that we need to "grow up" and stop being offended by everything.
Who the f**K ever heard of Ax Handle Saturday?!
Bravo Dr Carson!
And Stacey Abrams only gets offended when Krispy Kreme is closed.
I would say that compared to Ben Carson, Abram is fairly stupid. But, you know, stupid is as stupid does.
I was reminded this week of the history of Robert Byrd. A Dem Senator, and even Senate Majority Leader, who was an honest-to-God Grand Kleagle in the KKK. How come they’ were never offended by that?!
So to hell with Snuff-a-lup-a-gus and Queen Stacey the Donut Destroyer.
It's getting to be just like the muzzies, who claim every town from Egypt to India contains some kind of sacred islamic site and is therefore so vital to their cult.
Yeah, I never heard of that one before yesterday.
Ben Carson tried to perform neurosurgery on Stacey Abrams, but he couldn’t find anything to operate on.
