Ben Carson expresses concerns to Newsmax about the United States turning into a ‘Totalitarian’ regime
Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary, Dr. Ben Carson, has expressed concern that the United States is becoming “totalitarian” following the third criminal indictment of former President Donald Trump. Carson criticized the weaponization of the Justice Department against political enemies, stating that it is a characteristic of totalitarian societies. He argued that the Founding Fathers designed the Constitution to limit the growth of government and ensure checks and balances between branches. However, Carson pointed out that if the Justice Department is aligned with the executive branch, there is no mechanism to address a corrupt executive branch. He emphasized the importance of an informed electorate and a responsible media in holding the government accountable. Carson accused the Department of Justice of working in collaboration with the executive branch to distract the public from critical issues. He urged citizens to vote for change and for campaigns, rather than legal actions, to determine the direction of the country. Carson’s comments highlight concerns about the erosion of democratic values and the politicization of law enforcement agencies in the United States.
