The Young Turks: Ben Carson Accidentally Humiliates Elementary Student
The Young Turks mock Ben Carson after he accidentally drew attention to a student when he asked, “Who’s the worst student?” during a talk with elementary kids. Before Carson could say, “Just kidding,” the students ratted out and point toward one of their classmates. John Iadarola, Jimmy Dore, and Jayar Jackson laugh at Carson for not thinking twice about his question.
Carson aimed to inspire the kids by explaining his story of once being the dumbest kid in the class. Except, it ended up mocking another student. “Turns out, he’s still the dumbest guy in class,” Dore quips, “…brain surgery, not as hard as we thought it was.”
