Dr. Ben Carson slapped down President Obama’s criticism of the GOP candidates’ rejection of CNBC’s primary debate forum on Tuesday.
“That wouldn’t happen to be the same President Obama who was afraid to go on Fox, would it?” Carson told Breitbart’s executive editor Steven Bannon in a radio interview as he erupted in laughter. “Must be a different guy.”“That’s just ridiculous,” he added.
Obama lampooned the GOP candidates for their complaints of liberal bias from the CNBC moderators of the third presidential debate.
“They say, ‘When I talk to [Russian president Vladimir] Putin, he’s going to straighten out’ … and then it turns out they can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators,” Obama scoffed during his speech at a Democratic fundraiser in New York.
The retired neurosurgeon has surged into the lead of the Republican presidential race, getting support from 29 percent of GOP primary voters, according to a brand-new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
