A few days after the President of the United of America Donald Trump unleashed scathing vitriol at minority congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Ayanna S. Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, his African-American Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson has come to his defense claiming he is not a racist.

Appearing on Fox News on Wednesday, the former neurosurgeon begged to differ when host Sandra Smith asked him if he viewed his Tweets as racist.

Smith pressed him further, highlighting the fact that the president suggested the said congresswomen go back to their countries though they are U.S. citizens. She also asked him what it meant because Trump wasn’t backtracking on his Tweets. Carson, however, dissuaded from the topic and rather highlighted Trump’s achievements.

“I think you can see what the president means by looking at his accomplishments,” he replied.

“Under this president… you see low unemployment — record low for Blacks, for Hispanics, for all the demographics of our nation.”
