Trump Surrogate Supreme, Dr. Ben Carson, made an appearance on CNN today, and attempted to defend itsy-bitsy campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski.

While speaking with CNN’s John Berman, the defense of Lewandowski went to full on absurdity, so much so that it was impossible to miss.

I have to wonder if Carson really thought this defense out, or at this point, is the Trump campaign grasping for anything they think may fit? You would think that as a neurosurgeon he could finesse his way around something a bit more substantial.

Nope.

He gave the most juvenile, nonsensical retort imaginable.

He’s really fitting in with the Trump team well.
