Ben Carson: Muslim should not be allowed to be president
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleGOP presidential candidate Ben Carson, who is near the top of many early polls in the crowded field, tells NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he doesn’t think a Muslim should be allowed to be president.
“I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that,” he says.
Carson also says he doesn’t think Islam is compatible with the Constitution.
However, it seems Carson’s views themselves may not be compatible with the Constitution, which contains a clause stating that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
