Scientist Ben Carson, talking about his own fetal tissue research: “To willfully ignore evidence that you have for some ideological reason is wrong.”

Creationist Ben Carson, talking about scientists who understand the Big Bang, evolution, and global warming are real: “I just don’t have that much faith,” he said. “But they are welcome to believe whatever they want to believe. I’m welcome to believe what I want to believe.”

Do politicians ever actually listen to what they say?
