Speaking during a recent interview with Breitbart News Saturday, Dr. Ben Carson, former Housing and Urban Development director for the Trump Administration, argued that he sees it as being “quite clear” that Vice President Kamala Harris and her 2024 running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are trying to con their way into the White House.
Carson, as background, isn’t the only one to have said so. Former President Donald Trump made much that same claim in a Truth Social post, saying, “Kamala Harris has flip-flopped on virtually every policy she has supported and lived by for her entire career, from the Border to Tips, and the Fake News Media isn’t reporting it.”
Continuing, former President Trump wrote that Vice President Harris is trying to con the public with the comment about tips, saying, “She sounds more like Trump than Trump, copying almost everything. She is conning the American public, and will flip right back. I will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! There will be no flipping!!!”
Dr. Ben Carson, in any case, told Breitbart, “Obviously, the campaign for Kamala and the Democrat party know that they’re in bad shape, because there was a reason that Kamala got so little support when she was running for president during the primary process. The reason that she dropped out is because people found out who she was.”
Continuing, he argued that the lesson VP Harris has learned from her disastrously bad 2020 run is that she has to keep her awful policies and views hidden from the public so that it can imagine she is less bad. Making that point, Dr. Carson noted, “So the lesson that they’ve learned is — let’s not let people know who you are.”
Then, noting that Kamala has seemingly don’t her best to avoid the press, Dr. Carson said, “It’s been 20 days and counting — no interview, no press conference. She wants to stay hidden as much as she possibly can, because, as Trump said last night, she’s not really capable of doing an interview without having all the aides, the teleprompter … and people will find out very, very quickly what’s going on. So they’re going to keep trying to push and push, extend things.”
Continuing, Dr. Carson said, “Don’t just necessarily tell people what they said, show them what they said. I think this would be a very powerful way to get the point across.” He added that a major difference between former President Trump and VP Harris is that, unlike Harris, Trump “speaks from what he actually believes and who he actually is.”

Then, speaking about how it is the liars who get confused in the webs that they have spun themselves, Dr. Carson said, “You only need all those things when you’re trying to make something match. It’s like when you tell lies, you’ve got to try to remember what you said before so you can make it match. You don’t have to do that when you’re telling the truth.”
Host Matthew Boyle then asked Dr. Carson about the con aspect of the situation. He asked, “So do you think that the Kamala Harris and Tim Walz campaign are trying to pull a con on the American public, basically, like they’re trying to lie their way into the presidency?” Dr. Carson told him, “It’s quite, quite clear that that’s what they’re trying to do. That’s what they’ve done in the past. The very fact that they tried to hide from the American people the condition of Biden tells you all you need to know.”
Concluding that point, Dr. Carson said, “Anybody who would do that is not someone who can be trusted. And would you trust them with the future of the country, with the future of your children and grandchildren, all the people coming after, after they’ve already demonstrated that lying is second nature to them? I don’t think so.”
