The one big problem with Ben Carson's Stalin quote
After completely embarrassing himself at the last Republican debate when he just awkwardly hung about off stage after his name was called, Ben Carson has done it again.
In a bid to hammer home just what an apparent mess the United States of America is in, the neurosurgeon quoted Stalin.
Carson declared:
Joseph Stalin said: 'If you want to bring America down, you have to undermine three things: Our spiritual life, our patriotism, and our morality'.
But there's just one tiny little problem. The quote is not from Joseph Stalin at all. It's just a random Facebook meme that your American aunt probably shared alongside an all CAPs hashtag stating 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN'.
While we're here Marilyn Monroe did not say "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world". It was Bette Midler.
