“Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses Presidential hopeful Dr. Ben Carson’s silence after making some questionable remarks about the LGBT community.
Dr. Carson, a runner for Presidential candidacy in 2016 on the GOP ticket, has already found himself in hot water after making a plethora of remarks including that prisons were a factory for creating homosexuals and that it was his belief that homosexuality is a choice. Claiming that he was taken out of context, Dr. Carson asks people to look at the larger interview instead of focusing on only one part. Originally he tried apologizing and back peddling, stating that he ‘[did] not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation,’ but now he has decided to be silent on the topic altogether, focusing on what he feels are more important issues. This ignores the fact that many people do see this as an important issue.”
