Ben Carson on Planned Parenthood: Sanger Believed Blacks Were ‘Needed to Be Controlled’

RADDATZ: "OK, you made some controversial comments this week about Planned Parenthood, saying, “…one of the reasons you find most of their clinics in black neighborhoods is so that you can find a way to control that population.” Do you really believe that Planned Parenthood is targeting African American communities to control the population?"
CARSON: "Well, again, you have to go back to the beginnings of Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger, who was a great believer in eugenics and believed that certain people were like weeds that needed to be controlled."
RADDATZ: "But we’re talking today, and Planned Parenthood estimates that fewer than 5 percent of its health centers are located in areas where more than one-third of the population is African American."
CARSON: "I believe we could find some data quite contrary to that. I have seen some of their maps."
RADDATZ: "But you just don’t believe that data? You believe this is happening today?"
CARSON: "Well, here’s what’s important. Margaret Sanger believed that certain people, including blacks, were inferior and that the way you strengthen the society is you get rid of them."
