Ben Carson says the United States should not elect a Muslim president.

“I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that,” the retired neurosurgeon on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Carson, meanwhile, was asked whether a president’s faith should matter to voters.

“I guess it depends on what that faith is,” he said. “If it’s inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then, of course, it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the Constitution, no problem.”

Asked whether Islam is consistent with the Constitution, Carson said: “No, I don’t — I do not.”

He said he is open, though, to vote for a Muslim for Congress.

“Congress is a different story, but it depends on who that Muslim is and what their policies are, just like it depends on what anybody else is,” Carson said. “If there’s somebody who is of any faith but they say things and their life has been consistent with things that will elevate this nation and make it possible for everybody to succeed and bring peace and harmony, then I’m with them.”
