Ben Carson urges conservatives to unify behind GOP in November

An unlikely messenger on Saturday implored conservative activists to support the Republican candidate in the midterm elections even if they view that candidate as a RINO — Republican in Name Only.

In remarks that could have been delivered by moderate Republican or a member of the GOP establishment, conservative firebrand Ben Carson, an African-American former surgeon, urged activists gathered for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference to look past the problems they might see with the Republican Party and focus on winning in November.
