Ben Carson: Lewinsky Affair Destroyed the Innocence of Our Children

‘We have to stop letting people sleep all this stuff under the rug and saying it’s no problem’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 

CAVUTO: "You said you agree to an extent with Donald Trump that raising Bill Clinton in this presidential race is reasonable. What did you mean by that?"
CARSON: "Well, President Clinton is a previous president. All previous presidents and their administrations are fair game for analysis and comparison. So just because one of the candidates who's running happens to be married to one of them doesn't take that individual off the table."
CAVUTO: "I think what Trump was getting at is that Bill Clinton and his relationship with then-intern Monica Lewinsky for the loss of respect of our politicians. you said that it even led to the loss of innocence in our children. Quoting you, sir, 'As a pediatric neurosurgeon, I deal with a had the of children and I see them becoming coarser and wanting to know certain things they see on television, things they would never have known about as kids before. I'm sorry to see that happen, I'm sorry that it was because of one of our presidents. pretty strong stuff."
CARSON: "Yes. Well, I should be sorry. You should be sorry. We should all be sorry. You know, the fact of the matter is there is such a thing as right and wrong. There are morals and values and principles. We have to stop letting people sweep all this stuff under the rug and saying, eh, it's no problem. Everything is of equal value. That's not true. That's not what made America into the greatest nation the world has ever known. We should not be willing to throw away all of our values and principles for the sake of political correctness. We'll never submit to that."
