Beware the abuse of Power. Both by those we disagree with, as well as those we may agree with

Ben Carson, a renowned neurosurgeon turned politician, is a prime example of someone who has experienced the abuse of power from both sides of the political spectrum. As a member of the Republican Party, Carson has faced criticism and backlash from those who disagree with his conservative views and policies. However, he has also faced scrutiny and accusations of abusing his power from those who may align with his beliefs.

Carson's rise to political prominence began when he ran for the Republican nomination for President in 2016. As a political outsider with no prior experience in elected office, Carson faced skepticism and criticism from both his opponents and the media. Many questioned his qualifications and ability to lead the country, leading to accusations of him abusing his power by seeking the highest office in the land without the necessary experience.

Despite the criticism, Carson continued to push forward with his campaign, gaining support from conservative voters who admired his outsider status and his conservative values. However, as his campaign gained momentum, Carson faced allegations of misusing campaign funds and conflicts of interest, leading to further accusations of abusing his power for personal gain.

After dropping out of the presidential race, Carson was appointed as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Trump administration. In this role, Carson faced criticism for his handling of housing policies and programs, with many accusing him of favoring wealthy developers over low-income communities. Once again, Carson found himself at the center of accusations of abusing his power for personal or political gain.
