In an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on the Fox News Channel, former Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, a candidate for the Republican Party presidential nomination, sounded off on President Barack Obama’s reaction to last week’s mass shooting in Oregon.

According to Carson, there is a disconnect between the politicization of something actually solving the problem.

“Imagine a politician politicizing something,” Carson said. “When do we get to the point where we have people who actually want to solve our problems rather than just politicize everything? I think that’s what the American people are so sick and tired of.”
