Ben Carson Loses His Sh*t Live On-Air When CNN Asks Him One Simple Question [View all]

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/11/06/ben-carson-loses-his-sht-live-on-air-when-cnn-ask-him-one-simple-question-video/

One of the most basic tasks of any presidential hopeful is to articulate their ambitions for America. But when CNN asked Ben Carson to do that, he completely lost his sh*t, arguing with the interviewer and crying foul.

CNN host Alisyn Camerota played back footage of two controversial remarks by Republican candidate Ben Carson. In the first, he called sections of the American public stupid. In the second, he stated that without Fox News, “we’d be Cuba.”

She asked Dr. Carson to explain which sections of the American public were stupid, and the candidate answered that those who believed social programs helped the disadvantaged were stupid. Camerota began her follow up question:...

There may well be moments where it is appropriate to call out the media for distorting a candidate’s position. But a) this was not one of those situations, and b) this was the most classless, whiney way of doing it. All-in-all, Carson just failed at producing a presidential reaction under the most mild pressure. This was softball compared with what he would face in the White House, and he blew it.
