CLEVELAND, July 20 (UPI) — Former presidential candidate Ben Carson criticized Hillary Clinton for her support for author and political activist Saul Alinsky, who mentioned Lucifer on the dedication page of his most famous book, “Rules for Radicals.”
Carson, who was popular among the evangelical wing of the Republican Party, offered harsh criticism for Clinton at the GOP convention for admiring a writer and activist who dedicated a book to Lucifer.
“One of the things that I have learned about Hillary Clinton is one of her heroes, her mentors, was Saul Alinsky. Her senior thesis was about Saul Alinsky This was someone that she greatly admired and that affected all her her philosophies subsequently,” Carson said.
Carson pointed out the dedication page of Rules for Radicals included mention of “Lucifer, the original radical who gained his own kingdom.”
Carson criticized Clinton for her link to the passage.
“This is a nation where every doing in our pocket and every bill in our wallet says In God We Trust. Are we willing to elect someone as president who has someone as her role model someone who acknowledges Lucifer?”
