Ben Carson: There a ‘war on what’s inside of women, but not a war on women’

good freaking grief:

“They tell you that there’s a war on women,” he said. “There is no war on women. There may be a war on what’s inside of women, but there is no war on women in this country.”

Carson argued that Americans should realize that “we are all in the same boat” instead of focusing on racism and sexism.

The candidate pointed to immigrants who came through Ellis Island and “worked, not five days a week but six days or seven days. Not eight hours a day, but 10, 12 hours day. No such thing as a minimum wage.”

“But they worked not for themselves but so that their sons and daughters and their grandsons and granddaughters might have an opportunity in this land,” he explained. “And hundreds of years before that, other immigrants came here involuntarily in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less.”
