Dr. Ben Carson appeared on CNN’s Late Night with Abby Philip to discuss Louisiana putting the Ten Commandments in classrooms, which CNN thinks is wildly controversial and objectionable. Phillip eventually asked Carson why Trump favors this policy when “he doesn’t even try to follow” the commandments. Carson turned to the promotion of Pride Month in schools. Phillip wanted to avoid that topic entirely.
