Senate Confirms Dr. Ben Carson 58-41 to Lead Housing and Urban Development Department

Are you ready for a Gifted HUD? https://t.co/H03n84pDqf

— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) March 2, 2017

...Carson was introduced to the committee by Sen. Marco Rubio (R.-Fla.). Rubio represents Carson’s home state, and the two men became close when they both running for the 2016 Republican nomination for president.

“As Secretary of HUD, Dr. Carson will encounter a department that is broken in many regards. It is a vast bureaucracy that reaches all corners of our country,” Rubio said to the committee when he introduced Carson.

Carson understands the challenge of redirecting HUD personnel and programs towards helping Americans thrive, he said.

“His most important work doesn’t take place here,” the senator said. “It takes place in the communities, where they have housing facilities and provide assistance to people.”

The senior Democrat on the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee Ohio’s Sen. Sherrod Brown spoke in favor of Carson on the Senate floor Wednesday.

“His remarkable life story is well-known to millions of Americans and that it good,” Brown said. “But, he’s not the nominee I would have chosen to lead HUD. In, fact, he’s not the nominee that any president in my lifetime would have chosen to lead HUD.”

Carson’s life was turned into a 2009 movie “Gifted Hands” with Cuba Gooding Jr., playing the surgeon. His most famous single accomplishment was the 1998 surgery when he successfully separated 11-month-old twin boys joined at the head. The operation lasted more than 20 hours, and Carson led a team of more than 20 doctors and nurses to complete the task....

...The retired neurosurgeon, who's been a loyal supporter of Donald Trump since exiting the 2016 race, encouraged Americans to "imagine 24 or 48 hours with no police" before they rush to judgment.

"Yes, there are some bad apples and, yes, we will find ways to deal with them," Carson said. "But in no way do we indict the entire police force.

"There are bad apples in the police force like there are bad apples in everything. There are bad surgeons," he said. "But the vast majority of surgeons are wonderful people. So, you know, these opportunities will continue to happen and they will continue to do these things.

"But I guess the real issue is, you know, the president's going to start saying, see, gun control," Carson added.
