        Ben Carson can't perform his duties w/o his whole family by his side but lectures on self-sufficiency. Many n the Trump admin have contempt for the poor & c poverty as a character flaw. They call themselves Christians & fawn over the most immoral unethical POTUS n modern history

        HUD is responsible for investigating and prosecuting violations of the Fair Housing Act. Carson can’t eliminate that statutory directive from HUD’s mission.

        I hope that every poor, minority neighborhood with a school named for this fool changes the name of their school in response to this. He may have been an honorable doctor but he is not an honorable man.
