Ben Carson on Lynch Tying LGBTQ Issues to Black Suffrage: Everything Is Like ‘Slavery and Segregation’

 

Former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson scrutinized Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s comparison of Black and LGBTQ issues on Monday’s edition of Your World with Neil Cavuto.

Lynch held a press conference Monday telling media members that the Department of Justice will sue North Carolina because of a state law requiring transgendered people to use the bathroom of the sex on their birth certificate.
