CARSON ON TRUMP: 'PRAY FOR HIM'
Campaign aide says ex-neurosurgeon 'feels sorry' for GOP rival
Leading presidential hopeful Ben Carson sent out a sorrowful response Friday to Donald Trump's lengthy rant – the one in which he likened the former neurosurgeon to a molester – and asked the nation to pray for him.
He first called the verbal attack "completely gratuitous," during a campaign stop in South Carolina. He then went on, MSNBC reported: "It's not the kind of dialogue that I would ever engage in. I'm hopeful that maybe [Trump's] advisers will help him understand the word 'pathological,' and recognize that it does not denote 'incurable.'"
Carson then added: "Pathological describes something that is highly abnormal, something that unfortunately I've been able to be delivered from for over half a century."
But a day earlier, through his campaign spokesman, Armstrong Williams, Carson struck a purely compassionate tone.
"When I spoke with Dr. Carson about this yesterday how we should respond, you know he was so sad about it," said Williams, Reuters reported. "He said, 'Pray for him.' He feels sorry for him because he really likes Mr. Trump."
Williams also said Trump was obviously going through a difficult time.
"To see him just imploding before our very eyes," he said, Reuters reported, "it's just sad to watch."
Carson's comments came in response to Trump's 95-minute speech, captured on video and reported by WND, that sharply rebuked the former doctor for past statements he made in his memoirs about his temper.
One comment Trump made, in which he seemed to liken Carson's "pathological" temper to child molestation: "if you're pathological, there's no cure for that. If you're a child molester, there's no cure. They can't stop you."
From South Carolina, Carson raised doubts about the context of the Trump quote and accused the press of twisting the comments.
"I always find it a little amusing what people in the press like to say," he said.
