Carly Fiorina Slams Trump on Ben Carson
“I hate to say this, but Donald Trump actually has a good point”.
He said the incident showed Carson had a “pathological” temper.
Trump took particular umbrage over the story of Carson’s almost-stabbing his friend, which ended with Carson’s blade being stopped by his buddy’s belt buckle.
“He lunged that knife into the stomach of his friend but low and behold, it hit the belt!”
Complete with creepy piano music and a monotoned Ben Carson, the ad attacks Carson’s controversial story about the time he tried to stab a classmate but was thwarted by the kid’s belt buckle. Anybody have a knife? “Anybody have a knife want to try it on me?”
“Give me a break”, Mr Trump said in his Thursday speech, where he also lashed out at other Republican candidates and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. And then even was patronizing toward voters as he shouted, “How stupid are the people of Iowa?”. How stupid are the people of this country to believe this crap?
The caustic attacks were a world apart from Trump’s restrained demeanor during Tuesday’s Republican primary debate, where he issued no attacks on Carson. Of Iowa caucus-goers, he stated they will be capable of decide about whether or not they want to take heed to the “usual politics of personal destruction”.
CNN’s Erin Burnett asked Trump if he was satisfied by Carson’s assurances that his anger was in the past, and Trump said he didn’t know.
Donald Trump said Thursday that Ben Carson’s self-described “pathological temper” is incurable – adding that it’s like the sickness of a “child molester”.
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson struck back against Donald Trump’s recent claims that he has a “pathological” disease that can not be cured.
“A child molester, there’s no cure for that”.
“I expect that kind of thing”. “It simply describes something that is highly abnormal and something that fortunately I’ve been able to be delivered from for half a century now”.
And although the comments drew applause and laughter from the crowd, a few attendees said they felt Trump went too far. “You don’t cure the child molester”. “Give me a break, give me a break, give me a break”. And what I’m saying is, I’d rather have them if they didn’t happen. “‘You compared this and therefore they’re the same.’ I don’t buy all that”, Carson said.
