The controversy over Ben Carson’s comments about a hypothetical Muslim president continued into this week.
While on the campaign trail Monday, Carson told ABC News that while he could see a Muslim reaching the White House at some point in history, he said that he hopes it “never happens.”
“I’m not going to say it could never happen. I certainly hope it never happens,” Carson told ABC’s Katherine Faulders. “And I certainly wouldn’t want to do anything to facilitating changing America to something else.”
Carson made the remark in response to Ann Romney’s comments in USA Today Monday morning that a Muslim presidency “might happen” at “some point.”
The famed neurosurgeon currently sits fourth in the Washington Examiner‘s latest power rankings.
