During an interview with Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson on Sunday's edition of This Week, host George Stephanopoulos attempted to back his guest into a corner: "the President's convention acceptance speech is now scheduled for Jacksonville on August 27th, which is the 60th anniversary of Ax Handle Saturday, when a KKK mob attacked mostly black civil rights protesters. Is it appropriate to be having a convention speech on that anniversary in that city?" Carson could not have come up with a better response: "we've reached a point in our society where we dissect everything and try to ascribe some nefarious notion to it...We really need to move away from that. We need to move away from being offended about everything."
