On his radio program yesterday, Bryan Fischer spent two segments heaping praise upon Ben Carson for his statement that prison sex proves that homosexuality is a choice. But that was before Carson apologized for his remarks and declared that he was simply not going to discuss the issue of gay rights any more.
Needless to say, Carson’s retreat is not sitting well with Fischer, who spent two segments of his program today criticizing Carson for his refusal to defend his statement and saying that he may have fatally offended his base with his apology.
“Dr. Carson seems to be not considering the possibility that some people could be offended because he apologized,” Fischer said. “They’re disappointed in him because he apologized.”
He went on to criticize Carson for listening “to the wrong people … instead of worry about what the base thinks about what they have done and what they have said.”
“He may have done fatal damage to his campaign with his apology last night,” Fischer said. “The bottom line is that on homosexuality and maybe on everything else, Ben Carson needs to decide right now whether he is going to listen to God or his handlers. His career is in the balance”:
