In an interview with Dr. Ben Carson for Meet the Press’s web-based feature Press Pass, NBC host David Gregory dismissed Carson’s call for “a government that placed the Constitution of the United States at the highest level”: “There are some people who say that. That’s a very highly charged thing to say. Where is the Constitution not placed in the right level today?”
Carson gave Gregory a dose of reality: “Because it helps to define what the role of the government is. It doesn’t include being in every aspect of our lives….when you take people who are perfectly capable of doing things and you pat them on the head and then you say, ‘There, there, you poor little thing, we’re going to take care of this and this, you won’t have anything to worry about.'”
Earlier in the exchange, Gregory actually lectured Carson on the importance of big government for African-Americans: “Government intervention certainly mattered for African-Americans legislatively, through the judiciary. And certainly beyond just African-Americans, the idea of government stepping in to help people who are being left behind certainly shows evidence of working. Do you agree with that? Is that a fundamental role for government?”
