The campaign of retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson is getting on the last nerve of “Nightly Show” host Larry Wilmore.

The most recent offense: Carson’s campaign shared an overtly wrong map of the lower 48 states on social media.

“I’m sorry, Dr. Carson, but do you have a problem with how God made the Earth? I wouldn’t know how to find a map this wrong if I wanted to,” Wilmore said on Wednesday night’s episode.

Wilmore wanted to know how such an inaccurate got made, let alone shared online.

“You don’t have to draw it freehand, Dr. Carson,” Wilmore said. “You could have just traced one. You got gifted hands, right?”

  2. This is one hell of a funny clip. Bravo!!!

  3. She doesn’t need a map. She can see Russia from her front porch.

  4. Check out the comment of AquaMadMan on your earlier Carson map story. It is a video of Al Franken doing an incredible job of free-handing a US map. So you don’t have to free-hand it, but Franken can.
