Ben Carson Says America is Like a Cruise Ship and We Might All Die on It

Once again, Ben Carson has gone overboard with his analogies.

In an interview with Fox News on Monday morning, the former Republican presidential hopeful described America as, “like a cruise ship that is about to go off of Niagra Falls with tremendous carnage and death,” according to a report from Politico.

I’m not saying life for most Americans is peachy—in fact, it is nothing like the experience of being on a cruise ship, which is quite pleasant. But it doesn’t seem right either to say that America is a scenic, all-inclusive, family-friendly vacation that none of us will survive.

“What you have to do first is recognize the problem, stop the ship, turn it around and then move in the other direction,” Carson advised.

Thanks, Ben, we’ll do that.
