Friday on “Fox & Friends,” Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson weighed in on the controversy surrounding Baltimore, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and President Donald Trump after Trump called it “rat and rodent-infested” on Twitter.
Carson agreed with Trump’s assertion about Baltimore, saying everyone “needs to acknowledge it is a ‘problem,'” and he added that the outrage over his remarks is coming from people upset he is trying to hold people responsible.
“[T]he first thing we have to do is acknowledge that it’s a problem. Everybody needs to acknowledge that,” Carson stated. “And, you know, we have gotten to a situation in our country now where when you hold people responsible, you know, they don’t like it, they call you a racist.”
He continued, It kind of reminds you, if you have children, you are raising them, and you have one that chronically doesn’t carry out their chores, do their responsible thing, and you call them out for it, and they say, ‘You like him better than you like me.’ Basically, the same kind of thing that’s going on here. And instead of doing that, you know, people need to be willing to work together.”

Trump just pissed me off with the bs "White SUPREMACY " comment did he say the same for Black supremicy ? ANTIFA ?.
This is DemocRATs fault they have been pushing violence since Hillary lost ie. BLM black Panthers .. Antifa CNN PMSNBC.
Now Trump wants the Thought police.
The conditions in Baltimore are now a NON topic following El Paso and Dayton. Taking guns out of the hands of WHITE people is now the only topic at matters.
Not one Maryland lawmaker has said they need to do better with crime and poverty,they just bashing the president.
Its what all demoncrat lawmakers are doing!
Carson speaks more truth that many of our leaders past and present he is the personification of what all Marylanders should be.
