Bernie Sanders Slams Ben Carson's Comments on a Muslim President

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders decried Dr. Ben Carson's suggestion on "Meet The Press" on Sunday that a Muslim should not be president of the United States.

"This is the year 2015," Sanders told NBC News on Sunday while talking with reporters after celebrating a campaign field office opening in Portsmouth.

Carson told NBC’s Chuck Todd he does not advocate putting “a Muslim in charge of this nation” on Sunday. The retired neurosurgeon also said that the religion of Islam is not compatible with the U.S. Constitution.

Sanders said he was disappointed in Carson’s statement and that he disagrees with him.
