“The Nightly Show” has a simple message for Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson on Wednesday night.

“You. Are. Out of your fucking mind,” Wilmore said on the show’s the segment, “Blacklash 2016: The Reblackening?” when he heard Carson suggested potential victims attack a gunman to prevent mass shootings.

“You’re giving horrible advice,” Wilmore said. “Yes, Chris Mintz was heroic but you don’t advise people who are untrained to handle situations like that. It’s too dangerous.”

And then Carson suggested giving guns to kindergarten teachers.

“Ben Carson’s plan is so nuts it can’t go near a kindergarten classroom because too many kids have nuts allergies,” Wilmore said.

    It’s about time people start exposing Carson for the sociopath he is. Trump is bellicose and dangerous, but at least you hear him coming.

  3. Carson wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell to win the general.

  4. He would fall asleep at the inauguration.

  5. What’s hilarious is that now Carson has actually said what happened when he was in a similar situation-- , “The guy had his gun in my ribs, and I just said, ‘I think you want the guy behind the counter’”. Then he laughed.

    Huh? So no John Wayne kung-fu stuff whipping the gun out of the perpetrator’s hand? No heroics?

    Typical republican. All talk, no walk.
