Morning Joe Cracks Up Over Ben Carson Comparing Trump To King David

Morning Joe's panel lost it over Ben Carson's praise of Trump, comparing him to the biblical King David.

"This God thing that Donald Trump is pushing, right, it plays for the cult, but you don't win in Wisconsin and Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and Georgia, playing to the cult," Joe Scarborough said.

"And he's got Ben Carson out there, you know, comparing him to the second coming of Jesus, too. Like, Alex, do we have the Ben Carson thing, where he just compared him to King David, a man after God's own heart. Play it."

BEN CARSON: Well, you know, you think about the Bible and King David. Most of those people probably back in those days would have said what a horrible guy. the episode with the things he did, and yet he was a man after God's own heart. God uses different people for different times. You need somebody with a Manhattan business type of personality and administrative state. There are wolves in that environment and to succeed in that, that doesn't mean he can't be. When he's not being attacked he's a wonderful person. Everybody would love him.

NEIL CAVUTO: To be clear, you're comparing him to King David? You're comparing him to -- you are just to put up for the record, comparing him to King David and that worked out well for King David and this is another King David, right?
