the question is what are his qualifications? his own close advisor armstrong williams said earlier he didn t think that carson would take the job because he doesn t have any experience running a government agency, and he hasn t shown any expertise in housing and urban development housing. i would love to be surprised, but besides the fact that he grew up poor, what qualifies him for this job? let s put up the tweet you re talking about or what he said. i m sorry, it s what he said. arm strong williams, he s never run an agency and it s a lot to ask. that s not his strength. the last thing he would want to do is take a position that could cripple the presidency. how do you respond to that, kayleigh? i think he s extremely qualified. not only does he have a passion for this because he grew up in poverty and worked his way out of it. not only that, but this is a world class neuro surgeon. he had a leadership award for being one of the greatest leaders in his field.
many say on paper he lacks experience in housing. i think he means well. the question is what are his qualifications? his own close advisor armstrong williams said earlier he didn t think that carson would take the job because he doesn t have any experience running a government agency, and he hasn t shown any expertise in housing and urban development housing. i would love to be surprised, but besides the fact that he grew up poor, what qualifies him for this job? let s put up the tweet you re talking about or what he said. i m sorry, it s what he said. arm strong williams, he s never run an agency and it s a lot to ask. that s not his strength. the last thing he would want to do is take a position that could cripple the presidency. how do you respond to that, kayleigh? i think he s extremely qualified. not only does he have a passion
questions about the depth of his foreign policy knowledge. it will be interesting to see the expanded role he plays in this campaign. james, as you watch this from the outside and we saw jeb bush moving a large number of his staff to some of the keefe states that he will be going up in the primary and caucus race, caucus votes, as we now watch carson making a major move at the top with three lieutenants now out, this as national polls dive, is this just part of him looking at, okay, in a month we ve got to make this happen in iowa? i don t think so. this is looking more and more like the key stone cops thing. armstrong williams has probably been a part of the tension for a long time now. he has, quote unquote, no role in the campaign but he does represent some of carson s business interests.
he had a debacle with the bush administration around no child left behind and it s been implicated in some ways in the paid and played politics that so many folks are frustrated with in america. the bottom line between somebody advising a candidate who is outside the campaign versus those folk who want to run a very successful fund-raising and innovative campaign is what we see exploding and unfolding, but a lot of the missteps or so-called forced or unforced errors have been traced pack to armstrong williams. so you re saying that this is not a good move, the right person carson should be going to? he might not be the right person in terms of politics but there s also been some reporting on what this campaign is really about? is it really a presidential campaign or a campaign to
what led up to these three key positions leaving? yeah, you know, i spoke to the old campaign manager barry bennett right after we got word of his resignation. he said he made the call to carson about 9:45 yesterday morning, he told carson he would be resigning. carson asked him to take the day and think it over but bennett said his mind of the made up. as you alluded to, it s really the frustration with arm strong williams, who is a close friend to carson, who carson relies on without the campaign knowing. there were forced errors that the campaign made that undercut the good news that came from the c carson campaign. for example, last week we heard they raised $23 million. it was frustration with things being mismanaged. you know, you get to see all
