WATCH: Dr. Ben Carson on DHS, Funding, and…Treason?

During a recent appearance on Newsmax TV, Dr. Ben Carson talked about Department of Homeland Security funding and what lawmakers need to do.

“I would say break the funding for Homeland Security up into parcels. Don’t present it as a whole bill. And that makes it much more difficult for [President Barack Obama] to stand in the way.”

And here’s the kicker:

“And, if he does stand in the way, particularly with things that are vital to the security of this county, then I think we can start talking about treason.”

Treason? Dr. Carson added, “If things are done that are contrary to the security of this country, whoever does them is guilty of treason.”
