Ben Carson compares Donald Trump to biblical king

Former HUD Secretary Ben Carson who disappeared into obscurity following his term in the Trump administration is back and as out of touch as ever, On Fox News Monday night, Carson compared his former boss and current hero Donald Trump to the biblical King of Judah and ancient Israel, King David. An underdog, David later became a King. During a back and forth over Trump’s “personal behavior,” Carson said on Monday, Jan. 15, to “think about the Bible and King David.” “Most of those people probably, if they were alive back in those days, would say, ‘Oh, what a horrible guy,’ you know, the episode with Bathsheba,” he said, referencing a biblical story where David sleeps with the wife of one of his soldiers, Uriah the Hittite, he then has Uriah killed. “God uses different people for different times,” said Carson. When the topic turned to systemic racism in law enforcement, though, Carson’s comments were truly astonishing.
