Ben Carson Infuriated Liberals With Muslim And Sharia Law Comments
Video Transcript:
Ben Carson has done well at infuriating liberals after saying he wouldn’t support a Muslim for president.
On Wednesday, Carson said he wasn’t surprised by the overreaction.
I have come to be familiarized with the [political correctness] culture, and I’m willing to fight it. Somebody has to stand for who we are.
From both sides of the aisle, critics have pointed to the Constitution, which prohibits a religious test for entry into office.
Josh Earnest: The views articulated by Dr. Carson are entirely inconsistent with the Constitution that does actually guarantee the freedom of religion in this country…there will be consequences.
Lindsey Graham: I think this shows that Dr. Carson is not ready to be commander in chief.
Carly Fiorina: You know, it says in our Constitution that religion cannot be a test for office.
Ted Cruz: You know, the Constitution specifies, that there shall be no religious test for public office.
But Carson never said they couldn’t run. He just wouldn’t support them, or their Islamic ideology that is counter to the American way. If the media tried to ensnare Carson, it failed. His comments have only boosted his donations.
The money’s been coming in so fast, it’s hard to even keep up with it.
It’s hard to argue with Carson’s logic. If any Muslim holds to Sharia law, they hold to beliefs that are contrary to the U.S. Constitution.
Rush Limbaugh: Sharia law is so inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution, Ben Carson could not be more right. Sharia law is the law which is used to behead women in Islamic countries who have been raped. Sharia law is the reason women in Islamic countries can’t drive.
Carson seems focused on cutting through today’s politically correct culture. And isn’t fearing a media backlash.
Do I not have a right to support what I want to support? I want to support what made this nation great and what made us unique. If it costs me politically, it does.
Do you agree with Ben Carson? Would you support a Muslim president? Share and comment below.
