Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson accused House Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) of hypocrisy on homelessness today in a blistering letter charging her with lacking “basic manners.”

“My mother always taught me that people shouldn’t throw rocks, especially while they live in a glass house,” Carson wrote, according to a copy of the letter obtained by POLITICO. “Because of that wise lesson, I was a little surprised to read your hostile letter to President Trump regarding the record number of homeless Americans in California, particularly in your district.”

Waters had written Trump on Oct. 28 demanding answers on reports that the administration is mulling moving homeless people off the streets in California.

“Your shamelessness knows no bounds,” Waters wrote in that letter.

Carson threw the charge back at her today in his response: “Shamelessness is a career politician of 30 years laying blame,” he wrote.

“Shamelessness is allowing more than 55,000 Americans to live on the very streets they represent,” Carson added, referring to the homeless population of Los Angeles city and county.

I like Carson. Soft spoken, common sense fellow.

I think everybody in the US other states should focus on CA Gov. Newscum,, Pelosi, Harris, Feinstein, Waters as examples of the one-party type of government that has taken California from the top to the bottom in a few years.

Would that he showed this kind of fight-back back in late 2015 and early 2016!

If basic manners "elude" Mad Maxine it's because basic manners flee her presence. She's just a loud-mouthed lout who thrives on victimology and stonewalling solutions.

Agreed.  Carson is definitely one of President Trump's better appointments.

I'm not being sarcastic.  The guy hasn't resigned in disgrace, or been imprisoned.

[libertybele]

Ben Carson is everything Auntie Maxine isn't; soft-spoken, articulate, intelligent and rationale.

Carson is a great American, if he runs again for POTUS I would seriously consider voting for him. Love the guy.

Maxine Waters: Ben Carson Lacks the ‘Intelligence’ to Be HUD Secretary

On Sunday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said former neurosurgeon Ben Carson did not have the “intelligence” for his current position as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Carson had said Waters lacks basic manners after she had written President Donald Trump a letter demanding answers on reports that the administration was considering moving homeless people off the streets in California.

Waters said, “I sent him a letter, and he sent me a letter claiming that I had no manner, etc. I basically said to my staff, I really don’t have time to be bonded by somebody who does not know the difference between REO and OEO. This guy just doesn’t have the background, the capability, the intelligence to do the job. He does not know what he’s doing. He doesn’t care about this issue.”

If anything epitomizes the idiocy of Waters, it is her claim that a brilliant neuro-surgeon with many achievements lacks 'intelligence'.

What has Maxine done as background?  A garment maker, telephone operator and assistant teacher before her 46 years in politics where she has enriched herself to the tune of $2 million net worth.

Well, $2 million in 46 years may be a piker by Capitol Hill standards, but it isn't completely dumb...

Socking away a reasonable fraction of one's income for 46 years would easily yield $2M in that period, no thinking required (I have good reason for knowing this).  Just have a decent Fiduciary.

I didn't say she was a genius, just not a complete idiot (99 & 44/100%, maybe).

She is as dumb as a fence post. You can't get water out of a rock,and you can't get sense out of Mad Maxine,who truly represents the people that vote for her.

THAT's funny,I don't care who you are! I have no doubt Mad Maxine thinks "irony" has something to do with dry cleaning.

Why doesn't everyone just point and laugh at that woman everywhere she goes?

LOL!  She's a "Stable Imbecile!"

[Sighlass]

I never fell in love with Ben as some have... to me he plays the game better than people give him credit for... but some of that game is for his own benefit (and those he works for)... We all know the moment in the election he was bought and paid for. Seems to make folks pause after being introduced if you remember what I am talking about.

Carson's positions on both abortion (which is not at conception) and gun control (he is a gun grabber behind closed doors)... but seems he does make a loyal Trumpbot (and a useful idiot to keep the Christian voters on board).

He could have made a fine president.  Not who I "chose", but it would be better than Humpty Trumpty.

If you don't wholeheartedly support the 2nd Amendment, you don't support the Constitution that way, either.
Otherwise, it's pick and choose what parts you personally like, and we've been there, done that.

Ben Carson is a brilliant man, no question.  Maxine Waters could not be further in the opposite direction.  She is dumber than a stump, she just has a big mouth.  SHe is ignorant on her best day.  No culture, no class, and no character whatsoever.

I disagree that Carson would make a good POTUS.  My experience, lawyers and people that are physicians are not very good at managing people to produce results.  Yet to meet one worth a good BM when it comes to leadership skills.

Carson doesn't have the balls to stand up to and/or withstand the constant and ongoing onslaught and attacks from the rats.  He'd have been rolled, mugged and left laid out on the Oval Office floor his very first day.

Can you imagine all the noise from all the black Dim Poverty Pimp heads exploding with Ben in the WH as proof that intelligence and hard work are the keys to success,not lawsuits?
