    Carly Fiorina Says Ben Carson 'Wrong' On Muslim President Comments

    -Responding for the first time to Ben Carson's comment that he would not advocate for a Muslim president in an interview on NBC's "The Tonight Show," Republican presidential contender Carly Fiorina said Carson's position is "wrong."

    “I think that’s wrong,” Fiorina told Jimmy Fallon in an interview on Monday. “You know, it says in our Constitution that religion cannot be a test for office. It is also true that this country was founded on the principle that we judge each individual and that anyone, of any faith, is welcome here."

    Fiorina went on to say that people of faith, regardless of their particular religion, "make better leaders" and spoke of how her own Christian faith sustained her during some of the most challenging moments of her life.

    "I battled cancer, I’ve lost a child. I’ve been tested," she continued. "But whether it’s a person of Christian faith or Jewish faith or Muslim faith, or other faiths, I think faith gives us humility and empathy and optimism and i think those are important things."

    Carson set off a firestorm Sunday over whether Muslims should be considered for the nation's highest office in an interview with NBC's Chuck Todd over the weekend.

    "I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that," Carson said on "Meet the Press."

    Fiorina's rejection of Carson's remarks echoes that of other Republican presidential candidates who have also condemned Carson's remarks in pointing out that the Constitution does not include a religious test for selecting the president...

    Why don't Muslims try to be president of North Korea or Norway

    Fun for Christians to see Muslims and atheists working together

    Let me be blunt: every last one of these people that disagree with Carson are IDIOTS and should not be president of this country. Muslims put Sharia law above the constitution and will certainly promote it because they believe that it is the law of Allah and all laws of Allah supersedes the law of man. They consider the constitution the law of man. They want Sharia law to govern the world. I would NEVER support a Muslim candidate.

    If they disagree with Carson so much then let Louis Farrakhan run for president and let us see how much they support him.

    Yep Stupid people ..She is a liberal anyway

    She just basically lost my vote if she were to be nominated as GOP candidate . I would stay home .

    If nothing else the responses kinda help cast light on who is who and so far it seems Carson is winning all said and done


    I was disappointed in Ted Cruz response too . He pretty much lost my vote but with him I may be tempted to reconsider

    I don't agree she's a liberal..but she's clearly wrong on this.

    I'm glad Carson is willing to take the heat and tell them to pound sand.

    I don't like the way the media is portraying Carson. Carson said if a Muslim puts Sharia over the Constitution they are not qualified to be President. After all the Oath of Office states; "I (name) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." What is the problem with Carson's statement? If a Jew said that Talmudic and all parts of Old Testament Law was above the Constitution it would be the same. It would be the same for any faith, in the United States of America the Constitution and its Amendments are the highest law in the land. Carly and others are being political here by not stating Carson's full view, not real surprising that other GOP candidates are not rushing to Carson's defense, although it would be refreshing. Typical liberal media and typical politics.
