Carson On Secret Service: “I’m In Great Danger” Because I Challenge “Secular Progressive Movement”

“I’d prefer not to talk about security issues but I have recognized — and people have been telling me for many many months — that I’m in great danger because I challenge the secular progressive movement to the very core.”

Dr. Ben Carson says he’s in “great danger” and in need of protection from the Secret Service because what he called “the secular progressive movement” is afraid of him.

Conflicting headlines — such as one from Fox News — said Carson was already close to having Secret Service protection activated. Meanwhile, a Washington Post story threw cold water on the report citing an official saying the Department of Homeland Security was still debating the matter.

“I’d prefer not to talk about security issues but I have recognized — and people have been telling me for many many months — that I’m in great danger, because I challenge the secular progressive movement to the very core,” Carson told WABC radio’s Rita Cosby Show on Thursday. “You know, they see me as an existential threat but I also believe in the good lord and we take reasonable precautions.”

Carson said threats against were indeed serious, which was why the Secret Service was considering protecting him.

1. Because so many 'secular progressives' are out assassinating people, bombing clinics, etc...

Hey Doc, here's a hint. It's the religious nutters who are the violent ones. Unless, of course, you can be injured by people rolling their eyes at you.

2. All this secret service talk from trump and Carson is ridiculous

First of all complaing about it does nothing. Put the request into the president as senator Obama did at the time. Do we have to explain everything to these two?

3. Yep. Peace, justice, fairness, and equality are messages best spread with guns, knives, and fists.

What a maroon.

4. The man has problems. That much is clear.

5. It's true! We've recruited shape-shifting time-travelers from the Jurassic era

to grab him and cart him off to our secret wormhole in the Great Andromeda Nebula! And Donald Trump paid for the base facility in Honolulu, Kenya! Bwah-hah-hah-hah!
