Ben Carson, Not my intention to do anything to benefit any American

“My concern is that among the billions of dollars that you will be responsible for handing out in grants in loans,” Warren said to Carson. “Can you just assure us that not one dollar will go to benefit either the president-elect or his family?”

“It will not be my intention to do anything to benefit any American,” Carson declared boldly. “It’s for all Americans.”

Although Carson most certainly did not mean to imply that he would not try to help Americans, the remark struck a chord with some viewers.
