Trump Unloads On Ben Carson: He's "Pathological" Like A "Child Molester"

Donald Trump’s horrendous disrespect for his rival candidates, the citizens of this country, and our entire political system may have finally gone too far. On the Thursday taping of CNN Erin Burnett OutFront program, he decided to compare his closest competitor in the polls to a child molester.

“It’s in the book that he’s got a pathological temper.  That’s a big problem because you don’t cure that. As an example: child molesting. You don’t cure these people. You don’t cure a child molester. There’s no cure for it. Pathological, there’s no cure for that. I’m not bringing up anything that’s not in his book. … When he says he’s pathological — and he says that in the book, I don’t say that — and again, I’m not saying anything, I’m not saying anything other than pathological is a very serious disease.”
Displaying a breathtaking disregard not only for basic politeness, the significance of the office of the presidency and basic grammar, Trump’s outrageous shots mark a new low point in an especially vicious and low-brow primary season. His callous rudeness will catch up with him one day, and this might turn into a huge problem for the sliding frontrunner. Carson’s supporters in Iowa will not take well to these insulting remarks. While Carson does appear to be a pathological liar and uniquely unfit for the office of presidency, comparing him to a child molester is beyond the pale.
