Allen West, on Greta Van Susteren, Weighs in on Dr. Benjamin Carson's Conservative Speech - Was it Appropriate?

Among other comments, Allen West remarks, Carson made the mistake of being a black man who criticizes the President.

In addition, West comments:

But if you go back to September of 2012, there was the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Emanuel Cleaver, who gave an incredible statement saying that if anyone else were in the White House other than President Obama, that they would be marching on the White House, and that the President Obama knows that he is given a deference that would not be given to a white president.

 And we were talking about the incredible 14 percent unemployment rate in the black community. And I think that we cannot continue to go on believing that all we can do is ask the president what his favorite color is and continue to have these softball interviews. We have to start talking about the policies that are failing this country, and I think Dr. Carson — hat tip to him for having that platform, being able to challenge those policies.
