Ben Carson calls Obama a psychopath in GQ interview because he looks ‘elegant’

Whooey. Talk about projection.

Neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson called President Barack Obama a “psychopath,” a moment captured in a GQ Magazine profile of him published online on Tuesday.

According to correspondent Jason Zengerle, Carson insulted the president while watching this year’s State of the Union address with his business manager, Armstrong Williams. Zengerle wrote:

As the two men turned to the TV, they began dissecting Obama’s performance.

“He looks good,” Williams said. “He looks clean. Shirt’s white. The tie. He looks elegant.”

“Like most psychopaths,” Carson grumbled. “That’s why they’re successful. That’s the way they look. They all look great.”


Zengerle also quoted Williams telling Carson, “We don’t have to call him a psychopath. I don’t want you to go to CNN with that kind of mood” before CNN interviewed Carson following Obama’s speech. The story also quotes Carson comparing foreign combatants in the Syrian civil war to “the troublemakers in Ferguson” during a visit to Israel a month earlier.

Of experts in one field having no business talking about another.

Carson may be a brilliant surgeon, but he's a political idiot.
