Yes, you read the headline correctly: mild-mannered presidential candidate Ben Carson got very combative and angry during an interview with CNN's Alisyn Camerota.
The confrontation began when Camerota played a clip of Carson joking that "many" Americans were stupid, and asked who he thought were stupid. Carson responded that those who wanted to keep Americans dependent on federal programs were the "stupid" ones as far as he was concerned.

Sometimes even the strongest drugs can’t mask what’s inside all the time.
I would love for the country to come out from under the deception of Ben Carson.
And what deception is that? (I’m not a Carson supporter, but am genuinely interested in this deception you speak of. Thank you.)
Anger toward the press always appeals to the base. Especially to supporters. But there is generally sympathy from others.
“And what deception is that? (I’m not a Carson supporter, but am genuinely interested in this deception you speak of. Thank you.)”
That the Great Pyramids were grain elevators, lol.
Carson is the GOPe plant to take away votes from Trump, and the media, talking heads and RINOs are all in on it...
Trump has pulled back the drape and shown us all how dirty and corrupt these people are just last week when he told the GOPe Pubus what he thought about his little antics...
Trump doesn’t have SS protection right now because of some drug dealer pandering drugs, he has SS protection because they know if Trump wins they won’t have the power and money to line their pockets anymore...
If Trump looses, Hillary wins and America will be in it’s third term of obuma...you want that, then drink what the GOPe is giving you, let them shove Hillary down your throats just like they always have been doing, and nothing will be done to correct any of the crime, corruption and dirty ‘back room deals’ going on...
Trump/Cruz are the two that can clean this country up...and after this next debate you will see that happening...stand strong...let Trump do his job; let Cruz do his job and we will win!!!
Let's start with Camerota, who doesn't know how to spell her first name.
Dr. Carson needs to stay frosty during attacks like this, and this clearly was an attack.
"People like you who can't even spell their own names" would be accurate but unhelpful. He'd instantly lose the Tyesha-Shawunda-LaTerrell vote.
I think he is on his way down and Trump will remain in the prime position. He is on SNL and if he is funny and accessible he will get a jolt in the polls.
Anyone with a shred of self respect would get angry with the shrieking witch Camerota.
“That is not a deception, that is an opinion.”
It is an opinion and a deception, lol. Yes, Trump will get a bump from his SNL appearance. He’s good at this sort of thing.
Dr. Carson is dead right to confront.
He is also right that many “Journalists” ask and do not listen.
The MSM has been getting away with this sort of “journalism” for too long. Most of us here can remember when there was at least a semblance of nonbias in the media or at least an effort in that direction.
When FOX came on the scene it was meant to balance the liberal media, but it seems to have pushed the libs even further left.
Well you fell for that didn’t you.
The press was unable to understand that Dr. Carson was referencing the fact that Joseph built places to store grain in Egypt against the 7 lean years. Since we have no description of the type of buildings the could have been pyramid shaped. Musings of an educated man whose mind considers possibilties.
The press, either chose to misrepresent or were too ignorant to follow the train of thought.
Good for him!
Good call, Dr. Carson. I concur with your diagnosis.
The four major cults in the world are Scientology, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventist. I’ve noticed that several of the Conservative news sites this week have had links to Christianbooks.com advertising the book “The Four Major Cults”.
Carson is SDA. I won’t go into their beliefs in general other than to say that they believe Jesus is the Archangel Michael, as J.W.’s do.
SDA teaches Pacifism and typically only serve in non combatant roles in the military. I see this being a huge obstacle to Carson’s ability to be an effective Commander in Chief.
The video cut out right at the moment that he was getting the “unbiased” CNN journalist to promise to ask Hillary the same questions she was asking Carson. I LOVED Carson’s firing back at her. Great job!
It’s about time he shows some fire!
Carson isnt my fav but good for him! Salute.

Bull. It wasn’t just Carson musing. It is Carson stating factual error. It’s a silly statement and everyone knows it. Quit covering for him or people will think the same about you.
