Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson managed to condemn his former boss, Donald Trump, and humiliate himself during a Wednesday evening appearance on CNN.
Speaking with host Abby Phillip, Carson was asked why he still supports Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination at a time when some Republicans are saying it would be a mistake to nominate the ex-president again.
“What are they seeing that you’re not seeing?” Phillip asked.
Carson responded, “I think the better question is, what are they not seeing. If we allow our Justice Department to be weaponized, we will have lost something very precious and important.”
The CNN host countered, “But what evidence do you have that the Justice Department has been weaponized against Trump specifically? There’s no evidence of that.”
And that’s when Carson made the Trump-Capone comparison that set off a wave of laughter and mockery on social media.
That led Phillip to note, “I don’t think that’s evidence of anything except that Donald Trump has allegedly committed conduct that has resulted in indictments.”
Carson, however, doubled down:
