Dr. Ben Carson said Wednesday that the Supreme Court’s June ruling making same-sex marriage legal around the country is the worst decision by the high court in the past 20 years.
The former neurosurgeon made the remark during an interview with TheBlaze’s Glenn Beck Wednesday morning during a rapid fire Q&A segment, during which he was pressed on issues such as Obamacare, common core and who he thinks was the most underrated president and founding father.
“Worst Supreme Court decision in the last 20 years?” Beck asked the 2016 hopeful.
“Probably, I would say the gay marriage decision,” Carson responded. Beck also tried pressing Carson on who he would appoint to the Supreme Court, but he declined to offer up any specific names.
After the Court handed down its decision in June, Carson conceded that the ruling was “now the law of the land” despite his strong objections.
“I call on Congress to make sure deeply held religious views are respected and protected,” Carson said in a statement at the time. “The government must never force Christians to violate their religious beliefs.”
Carson was slated to stop in Edmond, Okla., Wednesday afternoon as part of his book tour.
