Trump: Carson Was 'Heavy Into the World of Abortion'
CNN ^ | September 10, 2015 | Jeremy Diamond

Posted on 09/10/2015 8:34:11 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Donald Trump slammed Ben Carson Thursday morning, one day after the retired neurosurgeon questioned the businessman's faith.

Trump told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day" that Carson, who was the first surgeon to separate conjoined twins joined at the head, was just an "OK doctor" and said "you look at his faith and I think you're not going to find so much."

Trump also called Carson's views on abortion "horrendous." Carson is staunchly opposed to abortion now, but was an abortion-rights supporter when he was younger and performed medical research on aborted fetuses in 1992.

“...CNN’s own poll had her falling to about 5% I think.”

Since when is CNN (The Clinton News Network) credible?

Rush Limbaugh made a cogent observation:

Democrats have said far worse things about Carson and Fiorina and the Media couldn’t care less. But if Trump says it.....

Another thing:

Questioning a person’s faith is about as low class as you can get. Even a fool knows that. If you do so you deserve whatever is coming. Carson asked for it.

What I find disgusting is all of the FReepers boosting Fiorina. Nothing but Jeb Bush in a dress.

Trump seems to allow whatever thought pops into his head to exit his mouth, especially in response to real or perceived criticism. He’d be better off if some of it, most of it, was left unsaid. Being that sensitive and easy to bait is a weakness. Curiously, the people who behave this way usually are overreacting in compensation for feelings of inferiority. It actually reminds me of how the narcissist currently residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave reacts when anyone questions his demi-godhood.

When I read about this weeks ago, that was it. He was a very talented dr but shoud not be in politics. I will not support him.

One minute after he’s elected Trump would shake hands and name BC Surgeon General.

He does, but this strikes me as someone who has spent 10 years in Reality TV. It has only rewarded him. Why should he change? And indeed, I have said over and over, we are in a new era. This stuff just does not offend people the way it used to.

I remember being in a restaurant with my mother, born in 1919, when a black man and white woman came in. She was just all agitated. "Look at that!" These are the kinds of cultural changes that, if you're in the previous group, they seem significant, and if you're in the group that came in with "the change," it's just business as usual. I think the large majority of people see Trump's comments as standard fare for Reality TV lives, which they all ingest constantly.

Fiorina destroyed Lucent.

Fiorina all but destroyed Hewlett Packard.

Fiorina blew an election against Barbara Boxer she SHOULD have won.

And anyone with a modicum of common sense thinks she should be the face of America as our next President?

The low info mofo voters will be the death of us yet.

Thank you for the clarification.

The PP atrocity skewed my viewpoint. For me, there is no cause good enough to use murdered babies for research. Upon reading that Dr. Carson had used them, I was immediately repelled.

Being honest, if those videos had not been revealed, I probably would not have reacted in the same manner.

Arrogant doctor versus arrogant businessman versus arrogant politicians versus an arrogant witch versus an arrogant bernie the commie. I’m voting for Cthulhu, why settle for a lesser evil. But really, I’ll settle for someone who actually built something, and a $10 billion fortune speaks volumes. I wonder what the total value of buildings produced by Trump is and the consequent payroll that occurred because of him. I hear Carson created 2 people from one, that has to count for something, maybe a stint as surgeon general.

LOL!!! Yeah that “when he said it” thing just doesn’t really mean much at all.

I give you an “GOP-e” for effort though. Peace :)

Actually “the WALL” has been approved TWICE and funded as well..

BUT; alas; RINOS and other democrats KILLED THE ACTUAL building of it..

Much like what... they will do to TRUMPs... bright ideas..

ONLY Cruz(as President) can actually get the damned WALL built..
As President Cruz would 1000% more POWER than a Senator has..

AND KNOWS how to do it.. NOT with crony capitalists looking to make a buck off the wall..

** like Trump whom IS a crony capitalist HIMSELF..
