Fox News host Shepard Smith couldn’t contain his laughter Thursday when he explained Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson’s theory on the pyramids.
Carson’s theory that the ancient Egyptian pyramids were built by the biblical figure Joseph to store grain was surfaced by BuzzFeed on Wednesday.
And Smith couldn’t control his amusement in discussing it.
“Ben Carson, the former neurosurgeon, said he personally believes that the ancient structures were not tombs for pharaohs at all, but instead enormous silos for storing grain,” Smith said. “That is decidedly not true. But that’s not stopping Dr. Carson.”
Smith also went on to dance in the studio after playing a clip of a rap song Carson’s campaign is using in an ad.
Watch the Fox host laughing:
Everyone knows Faux News has been infiltrated by secular progressives and can’t be trusted.
As laughably wrong as Carson’s kook-theory about the pyramids are, what is troubling is that this really speaks to how this loon’s mind works. That he is the GOP front-runner and this will likely not kill off his support is the true horror of our current state of politics.
When you have a sizable segment of the population that embraces willful ignorance, wearing it like a badge of courage and some sort of tribal shibboleth, and who view facts and reality as the enemy, we have a serious threat to the experiment in self governance that is the American project.
Are we approaching peak Carson?
He may actually have some impairment. There have been fairly credible rumors that he was forced out of Hopkins. Perhaps it had to do with mental status.
“That is decidedly not true. But that’s not stopping Dr. Carson.”
And Ben Carson is decidedly not sane, but that’s not stopping the GOP/Teatrolls.
