Dr. Ben Carson addresses HUD qualifications

Dr. Ben Carson talks about his qualifications for leading the Department of Housing and Urban development.

Friend: Carson didn't live in public housing

Ben Carson is coming under scrutiny after a friend tweeted that the nominee for secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development had never lived in public housing, contrary to Carson's previous claims.

Ben Carson would not answer whether President-elect Donald Trump could benefit from Department of Housing and Urban Develop loans during a fierce line of questioning from Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren at his confirmation hearing Thursday.

"If there happens to be an extraordinarily good program that's working for millions of people and it turns out that someone that you're targeting is going to gain, you know, $10 from it, am I going to say 'No'?" Carson asked. "Logic and common sense probably would be the best way."

Why was it so hard for Ben to answer that question?

Why is Pocahontas opposing him?

I've been wondering, concerned about this, too. Public housing should not be to line the pockets of the Secretary, but to uplift the poor, vulnerable. Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome Sister Levine. It has also crossed my mind as well.

Hey Steven, If you saw this video, you know that Pocahontas was not the subject here.
