Does he know what HUD stand for😂😂 I watched this video 6 times .

No on the job training? Is becoming a realtor helping to pay for the medical education?

While you mix up reality with fantasy across the politcal spectrum due to TDS. Bizarre group of people on the left...straight weird.

Who cares. If he was appointed by a Democrat and questioned by a white Republican these questions would have been branded racist.

Seems like a simple mistake. Why is this a story

This is news?

I was worse than that! He was clueless during the entire interview, as if he has never been doing his job. Drs. are usually full of themselves and only fit in in a medical environment.

the media teaches the public that if they don't get everything they demand that the person the media demonizes is racist. It is not racist to have limits on public housing by not using tax payer money to give illegals public housing. They need to be deported due to being illegal.

REO... SPEEDWAGON🤣🤣

Can't wait to see SNL this weekend! He wrote the joke for them. LOL

I am waving my BIc lighter...

Been Carson always looks like he just woke up from a nap and wants to go back to sleep.

Condescending that’s what Katie is

Is he drunk? Is he high?

Lol

Actually, she is wrong. The original term WAS OREO. It stood for OTHER real estate owned. But like a typical elitist Leftist, she spoke down to this man who could run circles around her intellectually. Perhaps she should lay off the Oreo cookies. progressivismisfascism

Come on

lol One of the biggest idiots I’ve ever heard speak.

REO is not synonymous with Foreclosure.

Ben Carson is an Oreo

he smiles - it's kinda spooky - like he is out of it or something

This person is a BRAIN SURGEON? Horrifying.

Ok seriously

YIKKKKKKKKESSSSSSS!!

He definitely did that on purpose

He's a mo-ron.

Funny, you NEVER have said anything positive recently about Carson. So you’re making fun of one of most accomplished cabinet members in American history? Just. Wow. racism DoubleStandards

OREO is a real estate term. It stands for other real estate owned, and is on every banks balance sheet.

Racist liberals. Hes a brain surgeon. He was joking . He's done good things in public housing. Making good reforms. Sad to see just how racist Democrats are .

this is a problem with the media. The guy didn't hear what she said, but media & some people are popping headlines about him thinking he doesn't know the difference between cookies & foreclosures. It's just stupid.

“Oh, you mean the band! Sure, ‘Keep on lovin’ you’ is my favorite!

And this is called Congressional Oversight per Article I of our awesome US Constitution!

She should be HUD Secretary!

Mmmm..Oreos

How embarrassing - He doesn't know what REO is and is the HUD Secretary. I dont know what it means but I'm not the HUD Secretary.

He was probably hungry and she ate all the Oreos

Trumps people are all now rebellious children cause Barr is protecting them all

That was cute

You got to love Secretary Carson! Mild mannered and soft spoken...he kicks ass.

O.M.G.

AND YOU THINK YOU COULD DO BETTER? USA Today?

He must have been hungry.

he is a nero surgeon not a realtor. so not knowing what she was alluding to is not a surprise. however im sure he isnt stupid by any stretch.

What do you call it when a mind goes to foreclosure? Oh right: a GOP.

When was USA Today's left turn....When did this happen?

.and she helped him like a kindergarten nudging him to keep trying to remember what he never knew

The man was sleeping god dammit!!

How can he be that DUMB

BFD!! obama said we had 57 states!

Only the best people...

Ya’ll are being awfully accommodating...

All I know is that Ben Carson can open up your skull and fix your brain. Oreo, REO, REO Speedwagon means, like, nothing....

BenadrylCarson

He didn't mix up anything. He didn't know what REO meant. How can you be this bad at reporting?
