    The subject of this thread is about his suitability for HUD. He may be a gifted brain surgeon, but that doesn't qualify him for his position in the Administration.

    How so?

    She asks him if he knows what an REO is?

    He replies an OREO ( same damn thing btw)

    She says no and then gets snarky.. Why the **** take her serious at that point?

    The audio is in the link btw..
    "But the term appeared to be outside the lexicon of Sec. Carson."

    Ironic from the idiots at Mediate.

    Well it appears she wasn't being clear and he didn't hear her. Then she treated him like it was a pop quiz. FFS that hag wouldn't know what ERA was even if you told her Earned Run Average. She'd be like, "Equal Rights Amendment?"

    He's busy managing his department, not micromanaging every stupid detail. The have undersecretaries and government workers that do the day to day managing.

    Then that's fine... Just say "I'm not sure what you mean by REO, maam".... Nobody expects everybody to know everything...

    And many would dispute the section I bolded anyway, but I digress....

    The HUD secretary is barred by law from providing housing to illegals. But the idiotic Democrat congresswoman from NY demanded that he do that and violate the law.

    The Dems looked foolish. They didn't touch Carson.

    Meanwhile, the Feds are sending illegals by bus and plane from El Paso to the sanctuary state of California. Too funny.

    Most of the Democrats aren't qualified to serve in Congress. Dr. Carson asked her what she suggest he do that would not violate the law, and the dimwit changed the subject.

    Yea...the guy in charge of public housing should not know what REO represents!

    Great talking point.

    Maybe a brain surgeon should not be in charge of HUD.

    Getting back to that hearing, do you think the person in charge of public housing should know that REO is not a cookie?

    So...your theory is that Ben Carson knew about the term "OREO" and what it represented, but did not know what "REO" stood for and represented?

    ...jesus ****ing christ, what sort of desperation are you trying to pull here?

    Think about it. She asks about REOs and you are trying to pretend that Carson was trying to correct her without knowing that the "O" in both acronyms represents the exact same word?

    And the congresswoman didn't know that HUD was legally barred from providing housing to illegals. But she grilled him on it, and demanded HUD house as many illegals as possible.

    Libs won't help us seal the border. And then they want the American taxpayer to feed, house, and clothe the aliens. The upside down world of liberalism.

    I couldn't even understand what the big fat slob said. She needs to lose some fricking weight so she doesn't slur her words.

    What's funny is that the Democrat congress critters think they are so fricking smart, but end up looking like the back end of a horse after all the smoke clears.

    That is a wholly inaccurate misrepresentation of the new plan that HUD is proposing. The new policy that HUD wants to enact is one that will evict illegal immigrants who reside in a home, even when the primary occupants of that home are legal citizens.

    Trump is clever regarding crimes, but he isn't otherwise very smart, and he hires and appoints people who aren't smarter than himself, but are crooked or "malleable". B.Carson is one of those. Take him out of his neurosurgeon environment and he is a total dolt. Interesting that Trump refers to "sleepy Joe" but never to "sleepy Ben". At least not yet.

    Illegals should not benefit by having a roof over their head paid for by taxpayers.
