I suspect he doesn't know all that much about Jackson.

Boom!
As usual, Cenk captures the true sentiments of the anti-Tubman crowd perfectly.

... that Ben Carson is mentally deranged in some way? Those words from his mouth make absolutely no sense to me. Hello in there? Mr Carson?

(4,113 posts)5. Carson's image should be on a $3 bill. He's about as worthless as one.
Carson's information on Andrew Jackson must be from the same resource from which he received his information on the Egyptian pyramids being grain storage structures.
I remember hearing people I know raving about how he would be a great president, even during his brilliant oratory moments on the campaign trail and during the debates. That's when I lost faith in the intelligence of the American voter.
