Republican Congresswoman Says The Deep State Is Responsible For Ben Carsons Ethics Problems
Claudia Tenney (R-NY), it was the deep state that tried to buy that $31,000 table for Ben Carsons office. She says no way did Ben Carson know anything about it. This is just plain crazy, even by Republican standards.
On Wednesday, the Daily Beast reported that Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-NY) is trying to give HUD Secretary Ben Carson cover by blaming his current ethics problems on the deep state.
Tenney recently made an appearance on an upstate New York local radio program, Talk! of the Town. And she was asked about Ben Carsons decision to buy a $31,000 dining table for his office. Tenney said that the whole Ben Carson story is so misunderstood. Then she blamed the entire situation on the so-called deep state.
First of all, I like Ben Carson a lot. I think hes really trying to do a great job there. But
somebody in the Deep State, it was not one of his people apparently, ordered a table, like a conference room table or whatever it was for a room. And thats what the cost was. Ben Carson tried to- he said, you know how hard it is to turn it back because of the way that the procurement happens?

So, once again the party of personal responsibility refuses to take responsibility for a screw up. 😠
