Retired neurosurgeon and former Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson caused a stir on Wednesday morning when he claimed that Hillary Clinton’s role model acknowledged Lucifer.
“One of her heroes, her mentors was Saul Alinsky,” Ben Carson said, the name provoking boos from the stands at Quicken Loans Arena. “This was someone that she greatly admired, and that affected all her philosophies subsequently. Are we going to elect someone as president who has as their role model somebody who acknowledges Lucifer? Think about that,” he continued.
Speaking at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ben Carson went on to say that the United States would hardly recover were Mrs. Clinton to ascend to the presidency. “If we continue to allow them to take god out of our lives, god will remove himself from us. We will not be blessed and our nation will go down the tubes. We will be responsible for that,” he said. “I am not politically correct and I hate political correctness.” His comments spread like a wildfire, putting tainting his somewhat decorated neurosurgeon career.
Ben Carson suspended his campaign on March 2, 2016 and shortly thereafter endorsed Donald Trump.
