Dr. Ben Carson has been in the media spotlight since speaking at this year’s annual prayer breakfast in Washinton, D.C.
In that speech the famed pediatric neurosurgeon blasted President Barack Obama’s health care policies and came under mainstream media scrutiny. While he claims no political affiliation, he became a hero to conservatives.
Carson tells Newsmax the personal and political attacks he has undergone, including protests from students and faculty at Johns Hopkins University that ended up with him stepping down from delivering this year’s commencement address, haven’t turned him off politics.
To the contrary, they have spurred him on.
At the same time, it saddens him to see others become afraid to speak out because of intimidation in a country that was founded on freedom of expression.
“We’ve fallen so far, we should be very alarmed about what’s going on here.”
