Carson's hard-right
politics and bold stances like this have made him a darling of the far
right. His stance on gay marriage isn't new (previously he's aligned
homosexuality with bestiality, pedophilia and murder) but it highlights
why his presidential ambitions put the GOP in such a pickle: With a
majority of Americans supporting gay marriage, fielding a Republican
candidate who is so blatantly hostile to homosexuality is a great way to
send swing voters packing.
"Candidates who would
like to see the inside of the West Wing," GOP strategist Juleana Glover
told msnbc previously, "are gonna find a way to be more inclusive on the
issue of marriage."
Carson's views on
homosexuality have gotten him in trouble in the past: in 2013, he was
forced to cancel a commencement speech at Johns Hopkins-the school where
he worked as a pediatric neurosurgeon-and apologize for remarks about
gay people.
Carson has formally
established a presidential exploratory committee, announcing the step
towards a possible run for the GOP nomination with a new web site and
video.Carson is right and the progressive loon are wrong. The progressive media will try and destroy Ben Carson.
