and then there was this comment:
"This is the icon of morality who had a son with the housekeeper, unbeknownst to his WIFE for a decade or more. Busted by multiple women for fondling. Your household pet has a more valid opinion of Trump's immorality than Der Gropenator."

Carson offers a rare Trump defense, urging supporters not to be 'distracted'

Ben Carson emerged Saturday as one of few prominent Republicans willing to offer a public defense of Donald Trump in the wake of an explosive report that he had once bragged about groping women, suggesting that the controversy around the remarks is a distraction.
Carson, a surgeon popular among evangelical Christians, released a statement Saturday declining to condone Trump’s remarks, writing that “this behavior is unacceptable, especially by someone who aspires to higher office,” and praising Trump for apologizing. But still, Carson urged supporters not to be “distracted” by the revelations, which have prompted dozens of Republicans to rebuke their presidential nominee.
Without offering evidence, Carson also accused “the progressives” of having prior knowledge of the damaging remarks but holding off on reporting them so as to drop them into the news cycle at a convenient time for Hillary Clinton.
“I feel fairly certain that the progressives have had knowledge of this conversation for a long time and dropped it at this point in time in an effort [to] obscure the release of damaging information about Hillary Clinton and her desire for open borders,” said Carson, who ran against Trump for the Republican nomination earlier this year.

The No. 5 Senate Republican leader, Roy Blunt of Missouri, told The Washington Post on Saturday that he will still vote for Trump. Other GOP leaders in the House and Senate have been harshly critical of Trump over the past 24 hours but have not demanded him step aside.
