After a female congresswoman challenged Housing Secretary Ben Carson on his budget and housing policies on Tuesday, Carson responded by urging lawmakers to “think logically rather than just emotionally."
Carson was prevented from responding because the congresswoman's time was up. But Republican Rep. Bill Posey of Florida said he’d use his time to let Carson respond, describing Velazquez’s behavior as “selfish” and offering to help Carson out if he gives a “thumbs up” sign. Velazquez called Carson’s proposed housing budget “shameful” and “immoral” https://t.co/FYyOE6uV8M pic.twitter.com/2KeQrfZIWV
The amount of housing assistance is then prorated based on the number of people in a household who qualify. Housing advocates say this rule is enough to ensure undocumented migrants aren't getting access to federal assistance, while still supporting legal residents and citizens.
Ben Carson found out quickly that trying to hold an intelligent conversation with Democrats is like trying to talk to a drunk. Dems have zero common sense or integrity.
The man has a portrait of Jesus & him in a banya wearing bathrobes & has the nerve to accuse others for illogical thinking. A HUD boss with hypersomnia hails from an ignorance cave, cluelessly counters budget questions with idiocy-so emotional.
Really, citizens should live on the streets so illigals can keep pouring in. What is wrong with these Dems how many more illegals may pour in US -unvetted for security and vaccinations to protect us?
More despicably divisive lies and shameful conduct by Democrats. We the People deserve better.
A budget by late lobbyists can’t be good for the people
Throwing money At public housing we got a crisis for the homeless in low income people that can’t afford the luxuries that you sir are enjoying every day
You’re despicable taking children out of public housing get out of here
Great answer to that bag of hot airs questions (which she wouldn’t let him answer).... Is it odd that the majority of the homelessness crisis are in democrat run cities and Sub Markets? Big govt, more regulations = higher cost of living.
Great answer Ben. We need real leaders that know how to use numbers instead if emotions to make decisions
OH! Please knock it off Mr; Carson, least we forget that your a sycophant of the President!! Catch it!!
What an emotional mouth! 🙄🤮
Trump got these m*********** short short in the American public so they can raid the coffers on his way out he's going to be a billionaire when he leaves office
why does every member of the corrupt administration carry the same glossy eyed blank face when confronted with facts ? loserville.
OREO
Ben's GOT to REEL in Counties & Pay Scale ADJUST, but he's bought out... he talks a good game though... but not applying to RULES... Ms. Velazquez DOES not know the fight with her bantering.. she'll always look AT children without punishing adults, bad on both sides
I think Rep. Velazquez was being sincere and not necessarily grandstanding. But that was Dr. Carson’s opinion. Anyhow...I agree with the secretary public housing(projects) is an American tragedy.
Tough day. Rightfully so.
SFMC
'If in fact you want to explain to the American citizens who have been on the wait list for several years in your district in New York why we should continue to support families who are not here legally, I would be happy to join you in helping explain that to them,' Carson told
Love Mr. Carson!
Mr Carson has no idea how HUD works he is just in for the federal benefits
Carson plan is totally logical. What happens currently is a joke.
Carson is a dummy!
Looks like someone got all all tongue-tied and couldn't respond anything let's see maybe because he's lying maybe because he's kissing Trump's butt
GO GET UM BEN CARSON!
How does a brain surgeon get fooled into being part of a morons administration in the first place?
Ben Carson.. another Trump led PoS..
I stand behind Ben get these illegals out of here
He’s right she’s wrong NYGovCuomo is sitting in 600 million in Hud money for NYCHA and will not release it, the housing and conversion of old hotels for apartments for the homeless in nyc scrapped yet Nilda sits there like she never heard this Basically lying on this man
These all seem to be on the same medication..
Said the “dumb as a post” appointee ever! He had one talent and he gave it up! Now he think he can act superior and insult elected public servants!
Just would like to tell this foreign piece of work to shut her mouth it’s ppl like her taking our money and housing Ben Carson is the best I’m sure she is living High on the Hog.
How much do the Democrats want to give illegals in housing money?
Thank you BC. Sometimes doing the right thing is hard but necessary
Dem=Liberal=Socialist don't do logic never have, they deal in hate and deceit.
Ben Carson's 'critical thinking ' is skewed because he can't relate to the hardships that exist in the housing crisis in the inner cities.
Carson: Oreos. They’re delicious.
they kill me w/ this victim shit! I cant wait until each & every Republican is voted the hell out
Nice job Dr Carson! We don’t need more money, we need solutions. Just because someone doesn’t throw more $ at a problem doesn’t mean they don’t want it fixed. That lady is not very wise.
dems just promise Everything for 'free' using other peoples money. 8 years under Obama what got fixed? NOTHING!
SecretaryCarson youre not clear about what happening to the money. It gets paid by taxation. We know that. But you really need time to ‘figure it out’? Sadly your smug face does not hide your stupidity
Thought she was fixing to throw a chancla at him...
Trump nominee requirements: 1) MUST be UNQUALIFIED 2) Evil 3) No moral compass
Smart dude. Great answer.
This creature Velazquez should know everything about hideous and amoral !
👏👏👏👏👏👏
That was awesome! Good job Dr. Carson
She can’t even speak good English. Take her sorry ass out!
Demoncraps couldn't think logically if their life depended on it, it's not a function that was incorporated into their fu*ked up internal system.
Another Dem IDIOT- Rep. Nydia Velazquez
She sounds stupid. We have a public housing crisis. But let’s add illegal immigrants to the problem that makes sense
This is a rep who’s people need housing and she want to play politics. Politics are more important then helping American people.
Funny. Ben has no problem spending taxpayers money for himself. The lizards in Washington must be stopped. RESIST!!!
.Strange...but when she talks all I can think about is.....
Velazquez go home that was a disgrace on your part what are you in 2nd grade
Looks like he's one of the few adults in the room.
Ben great job
He is a good doctor but the worst politician in the trump administration
She is a racist
Ben carson is 100% right, this congresswoman is disrespectful and arrogant.
Why
It is kind of funny watching all these broads flailing around and yelling at everyone. Just talk lady, they can hear ya.
That is the standard misogynistic response to assertive, passionate women.
Sleep Ben Carson
Let me guess....she’s mad that housing will go to citizens rather than illegals.
He just dgaf. The contempt is all over his face. God damn all these people.
TheDemocrats Want Illegals To Be first in line for public housings .. SecretaryCarson Respectfully Disagrees NydiaVelazquez
This from the guy who doesn't know the difference between an REO and an Oreo.
So permits,zone, the usual construction problems are the reason? Lets add to that calling a congresswomen names. That is not fixing the problem, is it?
Did Ben just admit to having a tail?
These millionaires and billionaires don put in sec positions really don’t give a shit about poor people and almost almost people... it’s so sad. And Ben is a smug jackhole.
Such a disappointment Carson. Some nerve insulting her calling it emotional. We know the truth & Mr Posey shame on you.
NO ONE elected to Congress should be in need of a High School ESL class- NO ONE
Boom!
One sick puppy
Does she honestly think he’s never thought of any of her questions? Does she truly thinks that he has not had any of those conversations with other organizations, departments or people? Smh
Ah looks more relaxed with Posey asking the questions. I see now.
This man may know his way about the brain but he knows jack shit about public housing.
The women in Congress are NOT having it and NOT backing down.
drain this swamp!!
She needs to eat more Oreos.
Did this -censored- suck his teeth before answering the initial question? Also what's up with the defensive posture? Telling on himself.
what a whats
She seems unstable.
What is it with the party of gender dysphoria, homosexuality, late-term abortion, illegal immigration, and legalization of drugs calling the other side “immoral” the last few months? It must poll good.
Get in the kitchen and make me a sammich, lady.
... SecretaryCarson with that same smug look as Donny Boy.
Ben Carson's in idiot wouldn't let him operate on my child or an adult
Telling a woman not to think with her emotions. In other news...
Carson is another unqualified individual in the Trump Administration. His budget doesn't help the people he's supposed to help.
When a Ben Carson budget hearing is turned up to Level 10, you know there's a coordinated effort at play.
He thought he was asked about Oreos...Carson is an idiot!
Ben Carson probably slept the whole time
'Agree with me or I will say you are not being logical.' --Debate rule 1
No one cares
