Don Lemon did not like the so-called controversial comments made by Dr. Ben Carson comparing Obamacare to slavery. Nor did he like Dr. Carson’s comments on the VA scandal as a “gift from God.” As a guest on Lemon’s CNN Tonight, Carson sparred with the host who was accusing him of ramping up the rhetoric.
