Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson used to be a rockstar in Baltimore. But, after running as a Republican in the 2016 presidential election and accepting a post in the Trump administration, he has sullied his good name forever, according to a new report from the Associated Press.
Carson grew up in poverty, but he didn't let it define or hamper his dreams. He worked hard to eventually become the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. In 1987, he gained fame after performing an historic 22-hour surgery to separate conjoined twins. It's all in his autobiography, Gifted Hands. Then, his career took a slightly different turn. At the National Prayer Breakfast in 2013, Carson gave a now iconic speech about the dangers of socialized medicine, just feet away from President Obama. It made him a hero in the conservative movement and encouraged him to pursue a political career. He now serves as secretary for Housing and Urban Development in the Trump White House.
Carson's entry into politics, some Baltimore residents say, was a mistake. Since he is now associating himself with Trump, they don't want to associate with him.

John 16:33“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Sounds like wishful thinking. They’re going after prominent blacks and women who support Trump because they are hemorrhaging from their traditional base.
He should be addressing high school audiences everyday, especially schools with high minority student bodies.
Democrat friend. Have had girlfriends since but no Democrat friends by design
You are right...I read it on the fly and thought Townhall was taking the whip to Sec. Carson...thanks for the heads-up.
Most welcome...When I first saw the headline and read a little I kinda had the same thought.
“DR. Carson has more integrity in his little finger than the entire mass of the DNC. A man of GOD, a man of his word.
NOTHING but PRAISE for Dr. Carson from this voter.”
Your post is top notch! Thank you for supporting this good man.
The good doctor worked hard and skillfully and lifted himself to affluence without screaming about the white oppressors. He therefore is just a rich turncoat who stole his money to the ghettoites and their Democrat bosses.
Integrity is not a value to the liberals and other communists.
Agreed. It’s racist leftists who keep trying to pound “people of color” down.
Is Baltimore really staying awake all night, unable to sleep because of rage at Ben Carson.
Runaway slave! Let the dogs out!
Haven't had a Democrat friend?
Or haven't had a girlfriend ...
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
