Honored to meet @RealBenCarson. His heart for people and this country had always been an inspiration to me. pic.twitter.com/yEHMNm4OUy

Sadly, a high profile person—especially a black person—can’t claim a conservative as an inspiration—especially a black conservative—without “losing” some people.
@BenjaminSWatson You're losing me Ben…

@johnwyte @BenjaminSWatson I'm not blinded. I just think the guy is a nut. Not much deeper than that.

We’re guessing the “R” next to Carson’s name has something to do with it. Either that or having the chutzpah to school Obama on how the healthcare system ought to work.
Watson also runs a Christian charitable foundation called “One More” so it’s understandable that he would have some common ground with Carson who is also an outspoken believer.
@BenjaminSWatson @RealBenCarson I wanna meet him too…….

As do a lot of people. They must be “nuts” too.
