Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson was asked to apologize for remarks Virginia Democrat Rep. Jennifer Wexton deemed politically incorrect.
He instead called her immature and lamented how PC-culture is destroying America.
Wexton asked Caron about reports that he'd called transgender women "big hairy men" during a meeting with Housing and Urban Development staff last month.She “gave” himthe chance to apologize.
Carson denied referring to transgender women that way, then told her to basically grow-up.He said :”I think this whole concept of political correctness — you can say this, you can’t say that, you can’t repeat what someone said — is total foolishness, and it’s going to destroy our nation and we need to be more mature than that.
Rep Wexton was so proud of the exchange, she even tweeted a clip of it – as if it made her look good.
