Dr. Ben Carson is one of the few members of the Trump administration who has stayed loyal no matter what the cost was.
While figures like former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Vice President Mike Pence threw Trump under the bus when it became convenient for them Carson refused to do the same.
Carson was invited on Newsmax recently and was asked about Obama’s recent comments that conservative presidential candidates must have an honest account of racism in the past and represent.
Carson in response stated, “I would love to see people in authority, and people with a lot of influence like President Obama, talk about opportunity. Talk about the amazing progress that has been made in this country, just in his lifetime,”
He continued “I don’t care if your ancestors came from England or Germany or Africa or Spain or China — you’re probably better off here than you would have been back there.”
In short, "Shut your mouth, Obama." 👍

Here’s what Newsmax reported:
Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary and neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson told Newsmax on Friday that Americans, particularly “people in authority,” need to “stop fighting each other and trying to make people feel like victims.”
While a guest on “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Carson made those comments in response to remarks made Thursday by former President Barack Obama during David Axelrod’s podcast, “The Axe Files.” Obama said on the podcast that Black conservatives like South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, a candidate for the 2024 presidential nomination, need to provide “an honest accounting of our past and our present.”
“I would love to see people in authority, and people with a lot of influence like President Obama, talk about opportunity. Talk about the amazing progress that has been made in this country, just in his lifetime,” Carson said.
“We’ve changed completely, and anybody who’s in this country — I don’t care if your ancestors came from England or Germany or Africa or Spain or China — you’re probably better off here than you would have been back there.”
“We need to understand that and grasp those things that are wonderful about America, and stop fighting each other and trying to make people feel like victims,” he added. “If you can convince somebody that they’re a victim, then they are a victim.”
In case you forgot how much of a fighter Ben Carson was after the 2020 election here’s a reminder:

At the 1:15 mark, Cavuto asked Carson “In your gut, is Joe Biden the legitimate President of the United States?”.
