Trump defends Carson on guns

By Mark Hensch

 

Donald Trump said on Wednesday that journalists are misrepresenting his fellow GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson’s statements on last week’s mass shooting in Oregon.

“Ben Carson was speaking in general terms as to what he would do if confronted with a gunman, and was not criticizing the victims,” he tweeted that morning.  “Not fair!”

 

Carson sparked outrage on Tuesday by arguing he would have physically attacked the gunman during last week’s rampage at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore.

“Not only would I probably not cooperate with him, I would not just stand there and let him shoot me,” Carson told hosts Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade and Elizabeth Hasselbeck on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.”

“I would say, ‘everybody attack him,” he added.  “’He may shoot me, but he can’t get us all.’”

Critics say Carson’s remarks are insensitive given the death toll during the Oct. 1 rampage in Oregon.

Chris Harper Mercer, 26, reportedly killed nine people and wounded nine others.  Authorities say the alleged gunman then killed himself.

President Obama now plans on visiting Roseburg on Friday and meeting with the victims’ families in the wake of the tragedy.

Carson has repeatedly argued since the incident that Obama’s call for stricter gun control is a knee-jerk reaction.

“There is no doubt that this senseless breathtaking – but I never saw a body with bullet holes that was more devastating than taking the right to arm ourselves away,” he wrote on his Facebook page Monday evening.

“Serious problems seek serious solutions,” the retired neurosurgeon said.  “The left would prefer to use these tragedies to advance a political agenda.  To me, that is also devastatingly sad.”

Obama has vowed that he is “politicizing” any future mass shootings during the remainder of his second term in the White House.

The president has harshly criticized Congress for its inaction on gun control legislation following multiple mass shootings during his presidency.

Media kingpin Matt Drudge on Tuesday railed against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s health and her politics, saying he was worried the nation would end up “with Hillary’s brain in the Oval Office in a jar.”

 

“She’s old and she’s sick,” the Drudge Report founder said in an interview with Alex Jones.

Drudge slammed the media for propping up Clinton’s candidacy.

 

“She’s not a contender. They’re making her a contender with these propped up Saturday Night Live things. It’s like a head on a stick,” he said, chiding NBC for “giving her endless hours of airtime.”

 

The media mogul cited Clinton’s hypothyroidism as cause for concern.

 

“Anybody who is 70 years old who is hypothyroid, you do not elect president, ladies and gentlemen,” he said.

 

Drudge also alluded to his “long history” with the Clintons, referencing his coverage of the 1990s Monica Lewinsky scandal.

 

“They’re ugly. They play dirty. They sued me for $30 million last time around,” he said. “Hillary Clinton with the NSA — good luck if you dissent. Snowden, I’ll switch places with you.”

McCarthy’s pitch to conservatives: ‘I’m not John Boehner’

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s message to dozens of House conservatives was succinct: “I’m not John Boehner.”

 

McCarthy (R-Calif.) has been desperately trying to distance himself from Boehner (R-Ohio), the man he wants to replace as Speaker of the House. His latest attempt came Tuesday night as he made his pitch to a dozens of conservative lawmakers at the Capitol Hill Club.

 

 

“I’m not John Boehner. I’m going to run things differently. I’m my own man,” McCarthy said, according to one conservative in the room, Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas).

 

McCarthy is expected to easily win the nomination for Speaker when House Republicans hold a closed-door vote Thursday. But he’s having a tougher time winning over some of the conservative hard-liners he needs to secure 218 votes in a roll call of the entire House set for Oct. 29.

 

McCarthy made his pitch to a joint meeting of the House Freedom Caucus, Liberty Caucus, Tea Party Caucus and the Conservative Opportunity Society, then snuck out a side door, avoiding a crush of TV cameras and reporters.

 

The other Speaker candidates who addressed the groups were Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.) and Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who joined the race over the weekend.

 

“We’re still an underdog. I get that. But we’re gonna give it a go,” Chaffetz told reporters before the meeting, his wife by his side. “I’m offering myself as an alternative. I still think there is a need and a desire to unify this party. I think I’m uniquely situated to do that.”

 

McCarthy didn’t make any firm commitments to the groups, but all three candidates said they wanted to see more bills move through committees and to the House floor — remarks which were warmly received by the room.

 

Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) emerged from the meeting saying he was backing McCarthy. Buck said McCarthy is personable, has good experience as majority whip and leader, and was instrumental in winning the largest House GOP majority in generations.

 

“The party will come together [behind McCarthy], and I think he’ll be very successful,” said Buck, the freshman class president.

 

Still, McCarthy faced harsh criticism from others in the room. Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.), one of a handful of conservatives backing Webster, said he didn’t see how the majority leader, Boehner’s top deputy, would be any different if he ascended to Speaker.

 

Jones personally told McCarthy he was frustrated that the GOP leader had refused to bring one of his bills, naming a courthouse, to the floor. After Jones complained to The Hill, calling the move petty, a top McCarthy staffer warned Jones’s office that he “shouldn’t have said that,” according to Jones.

 

“You can’t tell me that because you’re the majority leader today … that you’re gonna change when you are Speaker of the House. I don’t think that happens,” Jones told reporters. 

 

“You’re not going to change your stripes when you get to a different position. That just doesn’t happen.”

“I’m not John Boehner. I’m going to run things differently. I’m my own man,” McCarthy said, according to one conservative in the room, Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas).

If only we could believe this, they are usually their own man for about 2 1/2 minutes after they are elected, then it is game on.

Kevin McCarthy Ducks Media Outside Conservative Gathering

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the most-likely-to-win candidate to replace outgoing Speaker John Boehner, ducked reporters outside the Capitol Hill Club on Tuesday evening. McCarthy went in and came out of a back door of the event, refusing to speak with nearly 30 reporters from a variety of television and print outlets camped outside.

Donald Trump Leads Florida; Jeb Bush Fourth

As in other states, real estate developer Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson win the top spots among Florida Republicans. Trump continues to lead the field with 28 percent support, up 7 points from August. Carson is second with 16 percent support. It is noteworthy that Trump’s support among Florida Republicans is more than Rubio and Bush earn combined. This is not how major candidates normally poll in their home states.
