HUD Secretary Ben Carson was being questioned today about his HUD budget when a bullying congresswoman came after him with accusations but Carson held his powder and eventually got to speak his mind. Remember that Carson is used to bullying because he grew up in Detroit.

After Rep. Nydia Velazquez challenged Housing Secretary Ben Carson on his budget, Carson responds by urging lawmakers to “think logically rather than just emotionally.”

Velazquez called Carson’s proposed housing budget “shameful” and “immoral”

The response from Carson is what every American was probably screaming at the TV screen during the time that Rep. Velazquez was ranting at him in broken English.

Dr. Ben Carson appeared on the Tucker Carlson show tonight to discuss his ridiculous hearings today, where he explained to Tucker, “The Secretary of HUD is prohibited from providing housing to people who are in the country illegally.” Carson says the lawmakers are asking him to break the law by making public housing available to illegal immigrants.

What do you think? Have the Democrat lawmakers in D.C. turned their party into a three-ring circus? We’d love to hear what you think about Secretary Carson’s exchange with Tucker Carlson in the comment section below. Should Americans be forced to pay for housing illegal aliens?
