Ben Carson wants to gut law banning housing discrimination

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Remember Dr. Ben Carson, the genius brain surgeon who spent most of his presidential campaign acting as a living demonstration of why great success in one field does not translate into even minimal competence in an unrelated field?

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that Carson is a leading candidate to be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). And because Trump is Trump, he did it on Twitter.

I am seriously considering Dr. Ben Carson as the head of HUD. I've gotten to know him well--he's a greatly talented person who loves people!

Typically, secretaries of housing and urban development are people who have professional experience working in housing or urban development.

Carson, however, has not been completely silent on housing policy. In 2015, he signed an op-ed in the Washington Times critical of the Obama administration’s efforts to desegregate neighborhoods. In that op-ed, Carson also criticized a Supreme Court decision which left intact a key provision of the federal law banning housing discrimination.

1. He's perfect for the job. The job being

to dismantle a federal agency and then privatize all that has value. Of course, it goes without saying that the other objective is to make people as miserable as possible.

Remember his bit about the pyramids????
Close enough, apparently.
