Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said Tuesday that he thinks Muslims could only embrace the laws and values of the United States if they were “schizophrenic.”

Carson was asked on Sirius XM’s “Breitbart News Daily” if he thought “Sharia-compliant Muslims” could be integrated into American society and respect the nation’s laws and values.

“Only if they’re schizophrenic. I don’t see how they could do it otherwise,” Carson said, arguing that Islamic and American values contradict each other.

Carson made headlines in September for saying he wouldn’t support a Muslim for president of the United States.

    So, a person with an actual medical degree thinks that schizophrenia means ‘split personality’ apparently. Someone once said that Ben Carson is the worlds first idiot savant brain surgeon. Sounds about right.

    Remarkable isn’t it? He had gifted hands, but so does a welder or finish carpenter. He repeatedly demonstrates that being good with a scalpel doesn’t mean you understand the functions of the thing you are cutting.

  3. If anyone would know schizophrenia…

  4. Aaaand the real Dr. Carson is back. I thought he might have stroked with the SC comment, but it’s all good again.

    FFS.
