Hillary Clinton takes to Twitter to criticize Republican candidate Ben Carson over comments on a Muslim becoming president.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Monday took to Twitter to criticize Republican candidate Dr. Ben Carson for saying he would not support a Muslim becoming president.
Carson, responding to a question on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in an interview on Sunday, said, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.”
He added said that Islam, as a religion, is incompatible with the Constitution.
The comments invoked a firestorm in the United States, with critics including Minnesota Democratic Representative Keith Ellison, who is the first Muslim congressman in the United States, as well as Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations also criticized the remarks and called on Carson to withdraw from the race.
Clinton threw in her two cents on Monday, refuting Carson’s point that Islam is incompatible with the Constitution and the American presidency.
“Can a Muslim be President of the United States of America? In a word: Yes. Now let’s move on. -H,” she tweeted, quoting article VI of the Constitution which says that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton joined the chorus of 2016 hopefuls criticizing neurosurgeon Ben Carson for saying he would not support a Muslim becoming president.
Clinton, like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), invoked the Constitution in a tweet Monday, debunking Carson’s point that Islam is incompatible with the Constitution and the American presidency.
Carson’s comments came Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He told host Chuck Todd he “absolutely would not agree with” putting a Muslim candidate in the White House. He immediately faced criticism, as Republican candidates Cruz and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Carson, simply, was wrong.
Graham tweeted that the doctor “is not ready to be Commander-In-Chief. America is an idea, not owned by a particular religion.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), also pursuing the Democratic nomination for president, took to Twitter to call out Carson, too.
“You judge candidates for president not on their religion, not on the color of their skin, but on their ideas, on what they stand for,” he said.

With the Clinton Presidential library built courtesy of muhammadan petro-dollars and Hilary’s presidential bid in the offing, Bill Clinton cannot afford to say anything different. Scarring away potential mega donors is not an attractive prospect.
“YOU JUDGE PEOPLE ON—WHAT THEY STAND FOR”.
Bernie Sanders does not know what a muhammadan president will stand for :the quran, hadiths and sira.
All of them are heavily discriminatory against the none muhammadan. Will a muhammadan president abolish the command that muhammadan women should not marry non muhammadan men?
Until that is done no muhammadan stands qualified to be president of America.
It is sickening to hear ignoramuses spiting what the have no knowledge of while siding with those whose intention is to hide the truth.
Republican candidate Dr. Ben Carson for saying he would not support a Muslim becoming president.
The Muslim Presidents of the world as Dr.Ben Carson has witnessed ,naturally he would not like.Give him the credit for not being Hippocratic.He is straight forward.Calls a spade a spade.
