Weighing in on the controversy surrounding Harriet Tubman's image replacing that of President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, former presidential candidate Ben Carson felt that the famed abolitionist would be better suited to a $2 bill.
In an interview with Neil Cavuto on Fox Business, Carson defended Andrew Jackson for balancing the federal budget.
"Well I think Andrew Jackson was a tremendous secretary — I mean a tremendous president," Carson said. "I mean, Andrew Jackson was the last president who actually balanced the federal budget, where we had no national debt."
"Are you anti-Harriet Tubman?" Cavuto asked.
"I love Harriet Tubman. I love what she did, but we can find another way to honor her," Carson responded. "Maybe a $2 bill."
Democrats have cheered the change, largely because they believe it is a victory for feminists, blacks, and Democrats to kick a Dead White Male off of the $20 bill.
"A woman, a leader, and a freedom fighter. I can't think of a better choice for the $20 bill than Harriet Tubman," Hillary Clinton tweeted.
What she and her leftist comrades are completely overlooking is the irony that Andrew Jackson was a Democrat and Tubman a gun-toting Republican.
