Morning Star Baptist Church in Baltimore was not here for Ben Carson's foolishness.
en Carson will defend Trump at any costs but truly embarrassed himself when he tried to use a Baltimore church to babble about his complacency for white supremacy. Church officials kindly told him to go back to where he came from.

When Morning Star Baptist Church of Christ saw Carsons team setting up shop for a press conference about Baltimore, they were told to get off the property. According to The Atlantic, Gregory Evans, 71, who is a member of the church for 50 years, asked, Why did someone come onto church property without permission? This community needs some support on all kinds of issueson dilapidated housing and everything else. All of a sudden youre going to show up on our property and not even ask permission to be here?
Evans said of Carson: Hes using it as a photo op to make it look like they are doing something.
Carson was perturbed and said on camera to CBS, Its a church! They say, Get off my property. A church! This is the level to which we have sunk as a society.
He also insulted Baltimore by saying when he worked in the city he was afraid to send kids home. Where there were rats, roaches, mice, and ticks, Carson said, where there was just an unabated lead problem that was having devastating effects on the mental development of young people.
He also added, Somehow I guess thats how God works I ended up as the Secretary of HUD and we can actually deal with these issues.

I suspect it was The Other Fella.
You think roaches and ticks are bad, Benjy? They are, but coal ash will harm children even more, and your boss is going to make it happen.
