Ben Carson Calls Joe Biden's Plan To Nominate Black Woman For Supreme Court 'Abominable'

“ Carson, a Black Republican who served in former President Donald Trump’s cabinet, has long opposed progressive views on race.
“This is America. Many people fought and gave their lives to bring equality, and now we’re reverting back to identity politics,” he said later Thursday on WMAL radio’s Vince Coglianese Show when asked about the impending court vacancy. “And as we continue to do that, we’re bringing more division into our country.”

Why?
He was in a risk nor position for 4 years and did nothing. Why would anybody think he has an opinion worth asking for?

Nobody but the propaganda outlets should be asking their opinions on any subject.

I think he might choose his words carefully. He wasn’t the brightest tool in the shed during the 45 administration!

In spite of having ZERO qualifications for the position. He fits right in with the rest of the GOPee-Drinkers--an "I got mine, screw you" hypocrite.
