Dr. Ben Carson: A Muslim’s Brain is Different
Washington, D.C. - Speaking with Phil Hemmer via satellite on Fox News’Happening Now, former neurosurgeon and current Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson stood firm on his position that a Muslim should never be president of the United States.
Last week, during an interview with NBC’S Meet the Press, Carson created a media firestorm after saying that he “would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.”
Carson doubled down on Sunday saying, “I’ve worked with Muslims, I’ve trained Muslims, I’ve performed brain surgery on Muslims. I can tell you that, anatomically, a Muslim’s brain is wired differently than ours.”
Carson continued, “The orbital cortex is the area involved with ethical behavior, moral decision-making, and impulse control. The Muslim brain has very low orbital cortex activity, which means less than normal suppression of behaviors such as rage and violence. Add to this their belief in Sharia Law and you have recipe for disaster. No, I would certainly not advocate for a Muslim to ever be president of the United States.”
The super PAC supporting Carson for president has seen a surge of donations since his appearance on Meet the Press last week and his comments yesterday are likely to keep the money flowing in. “We sent out an email to Carson supporters, and we’ve never had an email raise money so quickly, it’s unbelievable,” said John Philip Sousa IV, who chairs the 2016 Committee super PAC. “My phone has exploded over the past 48 hours of people wanting me to pass on to Dr. Carson how much they respect his truthfulness, sorry NBC you lose.”
Mr. Carson said the only exception he’d make would be if the Muslim running for office “had undergone corrective brain surgery and had also publically rejected all the tenets of Sharia and lived a life consistent with American values and the Constitution.”
