GOPers hate 'Merica

Appearing on Meet the Press, retired neurosurgeon and GOP presidential
candidate Ben Carson said that the faith of a potential president of the
U.S. matters and that he couldn’t see having a Muslim president.

Referring to GOP front runner Donald Trump’s town hall confrontation
with an anti-Muslim bigot, host Chuck Todd asked Carson, “Should a
president’s faith matter?”

“I guess it depends on what that faith is,” Carson replied. “If it is
inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course
it should matter.”

“Do you believe that Islam is consistent with the Constitution?” Todd
pressed.

“No, I do not,” Carson quickly replied. “I would not advocate that we
put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not.”

Constitution of the United States of America.


Carson stated an opinion. I agree with it. Just look at what Sharia law has done for
governments where it exists.

Besides, 'I would not advocate putting a Muslim in charge' simply means he wouldn't
publicly support or recommend it. Learn some vocabulary.
