HUD Secretary Ben Carson echoes and defends Trumps racist attacks on his infested hometown of Baltimore

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson, has finally responded to President Donald Trumps racist attacks on his hometown of Baltimore, where he formerly served as Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Trump also has been attacking Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings, whose district covers part of that city. Cummings is neither the mayor of Baltimore nor the governor of Maryland, but Baltimore does sit in the United States, of which Trump is president.
Secretary Carson, the only Black member of Trumps cabinet, echoed and defended his boss racist remarks, saying as a physician he hesitated to send his child patients back to their infested neighborhoods.
As a pediatric neurosurgeon, I spent many hours, sometimes operating all night long, trying to give children of Baltimore and other places around the world a second chance at life. And usually we were successful, Carson told Fox News host Tucker Carlson Monday, as The Washington Post reports.
Fox News showed Carson in front of a photo of the famous Lincoln Memorial, with the late president brightly lit up. They then quickly inserted video of an abandoned building in Baltimore, one that could easily exist in nearly any city in America.

He wanted the taxpayers to spend this and other outlandish payments to feather his office nest at Housing and Urban Development.
