Carson defends record, tangles with Warren at confirmation hearing | Fox News

Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who's had an illustrious career in medicine but little formal background in housing policy, defended his qualifications Thursday to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development, as he sought Senate approval during his confirmation hearing.
Carson, testifying before the Senate Banking Committee, cited his personal story as he explained his familiarity with the core issues that HUD -- an agency with 8,300 employees and a nearly $50 billion budget -- handles. He recalled his childhood in inner-city Detroit and being raised by a single mother who worked as a “domestic” because she had just a third-grade education.
"We had no place to live ... so I have actually in my life understood what housing insecurity was,” he told lawmakers.

I didn't include the part where Senator Warren acted like a big fat has-been bitch, asking him irrelevant questions to make herself of some importance. Carson had a letter of support from previous HUD secretaries. He's qualified.

OMG, Carson absolutely knocked it out of the park yesterday. He was phenomenal. Warren, as usual, came across as a screeching shrill. She is just ghastly.

But back to Carson. He was eloquent, he was quick with his answers, he was focused and on point, he was likeable, and the sharing of his own personal story and his mother's views to me just solidified the fact that he is imminently qualified for this role in spite of the fact that he's devoted his life to medicine and not something like this.

“Can you assure me that not a single taxpayer dollar you give out will financially benefit the president-elect or his family?” asked Warren, who noted the billions of dollars in grants and loans issued annually by HUD.

“It will not be my intention to do anything to benefit [Trump],” Carson responded.

Warren pressed Carson for a yes or no answer. Carson argued he would not withhold funds from a program simply because a company with ties to Trump may be involved, particularly if that program might benefit low-income Americans.

“If there happens to be an extraordinary program that’s working for millions of people, and it turns out that someone that you’re targeting is going to gain $10 from it, am I going to say, ‘No, the rest of you Americans can’t have it?’” he asked.





It's obvious Warren C.ant U.nderstand N.ormal T.hinking....

She is a witless, lying, conniving, phony, leftwing bitch, who doesn't deserve to be where she sits. She proved herself worthless throughout the campaign.

Sounds like another Senator launching their 2020 election campaign for President.
 
Re: Carson defends record, tangles with Warren at confirmation hearing

Elizabeth Warren is a bigot. She's asking a bunch of stupid ****ing questions.

Booker, Gillibrand and Warren.

And I found the behavior of all three obnoxious.

Obnoxious politicians? Who would have thought.

Elizabeth Warren is a coward. She should have run in 2016.

Weird that Warren never, ever thought to ask such a thing of Hillary with regard to her SoS appointment, isn't it?

I hope these Democrat politicians keep this crap up. They live in a fantasy bubble and don't realize that normal people see through it and it disgusts them.

Yep, and don't forget Kamala Harris.

No, it was the other vagina's turn.
 
Re: Carson defends record, tangles with Warren at confirmation hearing

Carson is not qualified for the gig but Trump will get what he wants.

All she did was question an appointment, which is her job. She doesn't deserve beibg called a bitch for that.

Trump has the lowest aporoval ratings of any incoming president. Trump supporters are in there own bubble if they think Trump represents the majority of Americans.

Pocahontas is way out of her league dealing with the likes of Dr. Carson.

Anybody who tries to get anything done in Washington tends to have low approval ratings.

Trump does not give a ****, he is not going to worry about such things till election time, and then he expects to win the votes anyways based upon his work. Remember too that Trump has already won the chair once with "historic low approval ratings", what makes anyone think that they will matter anymore the next time? Remember to that the vast majority of what the elite have said over the last year and a half about politics has turned out to be wrong...listen to the geniuses now at your own risk.

WTF.

Carson has ZERO relevant experience. He's never worked at a federal agency. He's never headed up a multi-billion dollar anything. He's never had to manage 8300 professional civil servants. He has zero education, training or experience in urban planning, civil service, government management, or anything that relates to the job. Putting him in the role is an absolute joke.

This is as bad as Michael Brown running FEMA. Absolute zero experience. Being a transactional lawyer, and working for the International Arabian Horse Association, never prepared him to run an agency involved in emergency management. As a result, he screwed up massively during Katrina, and damaged the reputation of FEMA for who knows how long. (In contrast, his successor has had extensive relevant experience, and has done a fantastic job running FEMA.)
 
Re: Carson defends record, tangles with Warren at confirmation hearing

Anyone who would run for President would have been in charge of all the executive departments should he have won.

Thinking of it like that and realizing Carson would have been preferable to Trump or Clinton, ehhh, okay whatever.

lol

Yeah, the guy who can't let an insult pass without going on a multi-hour Twitter bender doesn't care about his popularity. At all.

Not to mention that Obama accomplished quite a bit, and is ending his term on a high note.


Remember too that Trump has already won the chair once with "historic low approval ratings", what makes anyone think that they will matter anymore the next time?
He was running against someone almost as unpopular; he lost the popular vote; he had the lowest electoral college margin in decades.

Trump did not finish strong. He limped across the finish line, and mostly due to large numbers of voters who didn't pay attention, and decided in the last week or two.

Doing things like appointing incompetent cronies, and handing over the government to Wall Street, is also unlikely to endear him to the public.

In what way? Unless they are talking about neurosurgery I don't see how she could possibly lose an exchange with him.

Trump supporters chose what version of reality they prefer and reject facts if they don't like them. He is not even in office and he has your full support and approval, and you talk like he shares the very same values as yourself on everything. Politicans should be tested and challenged by the people. You have your faith in him like he is perfection right out the door.

I guess you are reduced to the "cuz Trump sucks" argument. Did the Democrats provide anyone with a candidate that had higher approval numbers? Maybe Bernie would have. Wait, I forgot, they hosed Bernie so they could offer a has been washed out liar. That left a mark. Yay Democrats!!!!!!

Trump and I part company in many places, and no citizens should not be roadblocks for our leaders. We should try to make the best choices we can, if they do good they stay, of they dont they go. Your way promises that this nation never goes anywhere.
