Ben Carson says 'They blame Donald Trump for everything,'



The consequences of allowing protesters and rioters to call the shots in big cities like Chicago and Portland, Ore., might not always be predictable, Dr. Ben Carson said Friday during an appearance on "Hannity."
"The people should recognize that when you invite anarchists into your neighborhood and you join with them, there's going to be long-lasting destruction that you're going to have to deal with your children and everybody else is going to have to deal with," Carson, who serves as President Trump's secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) said.
During the interview with guest host Jason Chaffetz, Carson addressed multiple topics, including violence in American cities. He also defended the Trump administration's decision to revoke an Obama-era rule purportedly aimed at diversifying the suburbs.
Carson noted one thing that demands and critiques from rioters and protesters have in common.
"They blame Donald Trump for everything," he said.
Instead, local leaders should be held responsible, the secretary said. He urged voters to always carefully evaluate who they voting for -- in order to prevent future problems.
"There is a contract, an unwritten contract, between the local government and the people. Local government is supposed to protect the people, they're supposed protect the businesses and their property. And when they don't do that, they are shirking their duties," Carson said. "And there should be consequences for that. And some people have started talking about that already.
"I appeal to voters," he added. "Look at the people that you are putting in office. Evaluate what they are getting done. Are they accomplishing things or are they not?" Carson said. "We have to be much more intelligent than that or we get what we deserve."
Carson also said the revoking of the Obama-era housing regulation affecting the suburbs was a good move.
"I've already started to hear people saying, well, the Trump administration is racist and they're backing away from civil rights and fair housing. What a bunch of garbage," Carson said, defending the administration's record. "So we don't need another bunch of layers of bureaucracy to tell people how they're supposed to live, where they're supposed to live."
If you’ve ever wanted to contemplate terrifying close calls, just remember the time that Marie Harf had a position of power and influence in America’s State Department. Sends a chill right down your spine.
Now a liberal commentator on Fox News, Harf’s job is apparently to say the dumbest thing on shows like Outnumbered so everyone has something they can laugh at. Except it isn’t really funny, it’s still scary, because how she thinks is how so many liberals do. And it’s completely insane.
In the below clip, she burps up the following cliche lib media-isms: the protests are mostly peaceful, it’s not specific to Democrat-led cities, and the contradictory one that violence goes up and down and this is just a made up political theater.
But Harf added some extra icing to the cake:

“The streets of Portland didn’t look like this. The streets of Portland didn’t look like this until President Trump sent in federal troops who were anonymous. They don’t have their names on, that’s what anonymous means and had them arresting them with no due process in rented vans.”
They didn’t look like this until Trump MADE them look like this.
This is woman is a whole mess of charcoal short of a full barbecue.

"I think putting together a polished show can be very important."
