At a campaign event on Thursday, in Little Rock, Arkansas, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said, to a smattering of applause, “There is no war on women. There may be a war on what’s inside of women, but there is no war on women in this country.”

In video of the speech, published by Raw Story, delivered on the steps of the Arkansas Capitol, Carson said that leftist rhetoric was destroying America.

“If I was trying to destroy this nation and I was in charge, let me tell you what I would do,” Carson said. Haha, yes, please—do go on. “I would drive wedges between the people. I would have a war on women and race wars and income wars and age wars and religious wars.”

His honesty is refreshing, don’t you think?
