Carson asks for Katty Kay’s mic to be turned off in heated ‘Morning Joe’ exchange

Ben Carson asked MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” to turn off BBC reporter Katty Kay’s microphone during a heated fight in which the Donald Trump surrogate butted heads with nearly every member of the show’s panel.
Carson reacted angrily during Friday morning’s show when Kay pressed him about whether he believed the women accusing Trump of groping them, cutting her off.
"That's your characterization because you need to characterize it that way to make me the bad guy," Carson said.
When Kay protested, he cut her off again.
"Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Can you turn her mic off please? Turn her mic off so I can talk."
Host Joe Scarborough said the microphone would not be turned off as Carson voiced frustration with the question.
"It doesn't matter whether they're lying or not," Carson, a one-time GOP presidential candidate, said.
"What matters — listen — it doesn't matter whether they're lying or not. What matters is that the train is going off the cliff. We can take care of it later."
"Would you listen for a moment? Do you guys have a plug, please?" Carson added.
Scarborough himself showed irritation when Carson repeatedly criticized “you people” in the media for focusing on the allegations against Trump instead of what he said were the country’s problems.
"Stop saying 'you people,'" Scarborough said at one point, admonishing Carson for not answering the question of whether he believed the women.
“Why can’t you just give a straight answer?” he asked.
"Why don't you just listen to what I'm telling you?" Carson shot back.
After a commercial, Scarborough said it was “unbelievable” that a guest would ask for Kay’s microphone to be turned off.
Kay herself said she couldn’t recall something like that happening before.

I don't think Hillary's campaign is doing anything particularly well...I mean look at the lack of enthusiasm on the left.
They're basically just chilling in the cut while Trump ruins his own campaign (and takes the GOP down with him
).

Pretty much. They're just dropping bombs on Trump in October, but you have to be Trump to have this type of dirt in the first place.I don't think Hillary's campaign is doing anything particularly well...I mean look at the lack of enthusiasm on the left.

He wasn't in politics long enough to have dirt. That's usually how it is. The longer you're in it, the more you end up with contradictory opinions.Barry might have been the cleanest candidate of this era
The Republican Party will exist as long as there are economic struggles and people of color to blame for it. This is the same blind optimism that made it so Dems didn't see the 2010 come back. HRC's presidency will stoke as much sexism as Obama's did racism. Republicans have still gerrymandered the country and HRC would have lost to Rubio or Kasich. The last time I checked, we're looking at a Congress where nothing will get done and the incumbent will get blamed. A president disliked by the left and right. And we all know the left stays home when it is mad. Stop with this gas.Those who remember political history know that the Republicans tried to destroy the Clintons in the 90s.
They failed spectacularly. But they helped usher in this new era of extremism on the right, politics of pure demonization and personal destruction. Now the dumbshyt Republicans/Trump have gone back to that poison well.
You a fool if you don't think Hillary was ready with this shyt long before the day she announced, even though she probably woulda won without. By the time they're done, maybe before her possible 2nd term, the GOP could be a hollowed-out shell which only represents some white males in the South and Midwest.
They do some very elegant pyromancy, those Clintons.

trump has never been in politics and he's dirtier than a dumpster in a crack alley, but that's no surprise.
b rock must have been living right because the worst they had on him was the rev wright association and the birther bs. plus it helped that he wrote a book laying his drug use and other potential gotchas out there before someone could dig it up.
i still find it interesting how the gop got jacked. they had no viable candidate at all from the start. they hitched their wagon to the tea party to stage the midterm takeover and it came back to bite them just like a lot of people figured it would.
thanks obama
The masterclass was actually taking most of Obama's campaign people, that was the first masterstroke. The technical side of running a campaign with respects to which states to target and data stuff that the media doesn't cover is actually more important. The Republicans tried the same "enthusiasm gap" talking points in 2012 and lost, Trump is even more delusional about changing the map relying on media appearances to do the job for him. The idea of trying to turn PA and MI red always seemed like a long shot but the media think angry white people in the Midwest are enough to remake the map. There was even a time when some in the media were seriously discussing Trump's chances in states like New Jersey. Trump's campaign was run unprofessionally , they didn't understand the difference between a national and primary campaign, they see huge crowds and think that means something. I saw Larry Sabato explaining to Megyn Kelly why rallies are not indicative of support, she was discussing polling and said look at Trump's rallies to which Sabato told her that national electorate is 135 million and having a few thousand people at a rally pales in comparison to the national numbers.

Defending America against cacs
She did, but it wasn't enough to defeat racism. That should show u just how hateful white people are.
