Our country deserves a HUD Secretary with the relevant experience. Dr. Carson is a disturbingly unqualified choice. https://t.co/BvlXlJw0xq pic.twitter.com/gCYaiIfmj3  Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) December 5, 2016Carson spent part of his childhood living in public housing in Detroit, part of a rags-to-riches story that conservatives and other admirers tout.But critics of the Trump appointment, such as Amy Liu, the director of the Metropolitan Policy Program and the left-leaning Brookings Institution, say the powerful personal story doesn t make up for the lack of knowledge about housing needs of high-poverty areas and how deeply they intersect with other related issues, such as racial tension with police. WEReally? So Trump s new HUD Secretary s responsibilities have something to do with racial tension issues with police? Twitter users hammered Pelosi over her  racist  remarks:Nanacy Pelosi must be a racist  Amy 0311 Mom (@Amyloukingery) December 5, 2016so your saying that a minority HUD secretary will not be able to help the needs of other minorities? save me from liberal logic  Luke (@Rayswag_) December 5, 2016Liberals prefer Obama who helped a slumlord kick poor blacks out of their homes in Chicago for $$  Renae Sparks (@MyLoveT1977) December 5, 2016Carson is an expert at organizing extremely complex processes & smart people. OVERQUALIFIED.  Diane Seaman (@dianejseaman) December 5, 2016Mike Huckabee had the best response as he excoriates Nancy Pelosi for her ignorant comment here:Ben Carson is first HUD Sec to have actually lived in gov't housing. Fancy Nancy Pelosi says he's not qualified; is she racist or just dumb?  Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) December 5, 2016
