Ben Carson Weighs in on Trump's 'Racist' Tweets Regarding Omar and 'The Squad'

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson just weighed in on whether or not President Trump’s tweets directed at the so called “squad” consisting of Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib and Pressley, are racist or not.

As many of you are aware the President basically told the four freshman Congresswomen to either love America or leave it, via tweet. As you might expect this ignited a firestorm among the usual suspects. The Democrats, the media and some Republicans immediately called the tweet racist.

The president doubled down last night, which caused a chant of “send her back” from the crowd in regards to Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Now Ben Carson has weighed in, via The Hill:

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson said Wednesday he does not believe President Trump is a racist, nor did he find the president’s tweets telling minority congresswomen to “go back” to other countries to be racist.

“I have an advantage of knowing the president very well, and he’s not a racist,” Carson said on “America’s Newsroom” on Fox News. “His comments are not racist, but he loves the country very much. And he has a feeling that those who represent the country should love it as well.”

If Ben Carson says that President Trump’s tweets are not racist, and that the President is not racist, well that’s good enough for me.

That said, it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know President Trump is not a racist. All you have to do is look at his record.

The record of the Democrats when it comes to race, and race relations, is another story all together. As of this moment 32% of Democrats think it’s racist to criticize the political views of a person of color.

How’s that for racism?
