Ben Carson, a renowned neurosurgeon and a popular figure among conservatives, compared the United States to the Third Reich in an interview.
Asked to elaborate on his previous comments about the U.S. living in "a Gestapo age," the conservative firebrand argued the country has become "very much like Nazi Germany."
"I know you're not supposed to say Nazi Germany, but I don't care about political correctness," he said in an interview Monday with the conservative news outlet Breitbart.
His comments came at the New York Meeting, a gathering of conservative politicians, journalists and business leaders.
Carson, who came in third in the GOP presidential nomination straw poll at last week's Conservative Political Action Conference, has been a fierce critic of the administration on the IRS controversy. The tax agency admitted last year to scrutinizing conservative political groups, though it maintains the error was not done out of political bias.
"You had the government using its tools to intimidate the population," Carson said. "We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they actually believe."
And yet, here's Ben Carson, complaining that imaginary tyrants are preventing him from saying what he believes, and he's getting to say exactly what he believes. He sure looks intimidated, huh.
In all seriousness, with FOX, the news shows, and endless coverage of everything they say, who actually believes that these clowns don't get to freely say what they want 24/7?
