All Ben Carson ever cared about was banning gay marriage, and he had religious reasons for that.

Somehow he wound up being used by some crafty right-wingers who got him to go along with other right-wing issues. I think he's been out of his element for a long time, and he was probably not even there when the Russian collusion was discussed. It seems he's being used and doesn't even realize it. That's my take, but I could be wrong.
