NBC’s David Gregory seemed almost taken aback at Dr. Ben Carson’s desire for a federal government that actually follows the U.S. Constitution (watch video below).
In an interview with Dr. Carson on Meet the Press‘s internet-based Press Pass, Gregory attempted to bait Carson into supporting big, intrusive, all-powerful government by preaching to Carson about how important government intervention had been to African-Americans.
“Government intervention certainly mattered for African-Americans legislatively, through the judiciary,” Gregory said. “And certainly beyond just African-Americans, the idea of government stepping in to help people who are left behind certainly shows evidence of working. Do you agree with that? Is that a fundamental role for government,” Gregory asked, hoping that Carson would fall for his “gotcha” question while using a condescending tone.
Dr. Carson answered that what he really hoped for was a government that respected it’s constitutional limitations.
“I think government in the right way, when it understands what it’s supposed to do is excellent,” Carson explained. “I would love to have a government that placed the Constitution of the United States at the highest level. And….”
NBC’s Gregory then interrupts Carson, appearing aghast and offended that Carson would suggest that the U.S. Government should actually abide by what is truly the law of the land. Gregory called Carson’s words “a highly charged thing to say.”
