Ben Carson embarrasses elementary student with wildly cruel question at school assembly

Question: who's the dumbest candidate in the race?


Ben Carson gave a speech at the Isaac Newton Christian School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa this morning and ended up viciously embarrassing at least one poor student. Timothy Meinch of the Des Moines Register was live tweeting the speech:​
. . . .
Intended to be a joke or not, this was joke ended up being wildly cruel to one poor student. Many parents were on hand for the speech and you have to think Carson didn’t win any votes with his thoughtless question and subsequent remarks. Perhaps moderators can pose the question to Republican candidates at the next debate—who’s the dumbest candidate on the stage?

1. This is the best the GOP has to offer. When they allow a non white person to speak at all,

they usually find people like Ben Carson or Allen West, or the other guy, the religious one who ran for prez.

We should not know what Ben Carson's opinion or thoughts are on anything, someone this unqualified to hold ANY office should not get national attention.

2. Carson is toast. He is just going through the motions until he can find a soft place to fall.

3. I don't know.

This kind of deliberate public cruelty might be enough to win him the GOP nomination.

6. sadly, you may be correct.

[Orrex]

4. What a fuckhead.

[niyad]

Honest!

10. You're not the only one who notices that

From the comments:

"You don’t need to be a statesman to understand the stupidity here. The only requirement one needs to grasp the cruelty of a comment like this is to be, at the very least, a semi-functioning human being.

Or to be sober. Whenever I have the misfortune of catching a snippet of this guy in action (I use that term very loosely), I’m always struck with the impression that he is on the verge of lapsing into a narcotic fueled "nod".

By that I mean, at any given moment, whether he’s waiting for his turn to speak, or even in the middle of a sentence, he’s just going to drift off to sleep. Nighty-night, Ben.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out he is "self-medicating". Because, come on, the dude is high."

How anyone can support this guy is beyond me.
