Carson Defends Foreign Policy Experience
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson vehemently pushed back against critics attacking his foreign policy credentials during an interview with Bloomberg in between campaign stops outside of Des Moines on Sunday. "What people forget is that it's not the loudest voice that is always the wisest voice. And we need to start looking for wisdom," said Carson. "Also, how many people have gotten the number of 2 a.m. in the morning calls that I've gotten that are life and death issues and you have to glean the information quickly and make very, very quick decisions or somebody dies?" Carson added. (Source: Bloomberg)
