Ben Carson claims that not standing up to “the PC police” led to the Holocaust. He did a campaign event with NASCAR’s Richard Petty where he made other ludicrous claims as well.

The surging 2016 candidate invoked the silence that allowed the Holocaust to occur in making his case to stand up to the “P.C. police;” accused President Woodrow Wilson of starting a “socialist agenda” that “just kept creeping up” through Lyndon Johnson’s presidency; and called progressives racist, accusing them of “demonizing” people “like me” for being African-American and holding different beliefs.

“They feel that if you belong to a certain race you have to think a certain way. They don’t believe that if you are black you have the ability to be an independent thinker,” Carson said. “You know what that’s called? Racism.”

As Cara writes at DailyNewsBin:

This is not the first time in which Ben Carson has invoked the Holocaust to try to denigrate American liberals or his political opponents. Earlier this year he stated his belief that President Obama has been using the IRS to go after his enemies in a way which Carson felt was similar to Nazi Germany. Carson has also equated ObamaCare with slavery.
