Excerpt:
Dr. Ben Carson did an interview this week with The Washington Post, and he once again had to defend his previous comments likening the U.S. under President Obama to Nazi Germany.
Earlier this year, Carson said that the U.S. is “very much like Nazi Germany,” explaining, “You had a government using its tools to intimidate the population. We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they actually believe. And it’s because of the PC police.”

“You can’t dance around it,” he says. “If people look at what I said and were not political about it, they’d have to agree. Most people in Germany didn’t agree with what Hitler was doing. . . . Exactly the same thing can happen in this country if we are not willing to stand up for what we believe in.”
