Carson Aide Ends Interview During Islam Questions
[su_center_b]
As Ben Carson was being questioned by Jake Tapper about his Islamophobic comments, his campaign manager stepped in to end the interview.
Tapper and Carson spent several minutes of back and forth.
“You’re assuming that Muslim Americans put their religion ahead of the country,” Tapper said to Carson.
“I’m assuming that if you accept all the tenets of Islam that you would have a very difficult time abiding under the Constitution of the United States,” Carson replied.
The conversation ended when a voice off-camera, which CNN identified as Carson’s campaign manager, Armstrong Williams said, “This interview is over.”
