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

Carson said he didn't think a Muslim's faith was compatible with the Constitution, and he doubled down on that sentiment in an interview with The Hill on Sunday.

Those remarks invited criticism from other presidential contenders, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Cruz rebuked Carson, saying the Constitution says "there shall be no religious test for public office."

Several Democratic candidates have also scolded Carson, and a prominent Muslim advocacy group is calling for him to drop out of the race.

The topic of a Muslim in the White House returned to the headlines last week when GOP front-runner Donald Trump did not correct a supporter who described President Obama as a Muslim.

"I mean, some people have said it already happened," Trump said during an interview Sunday, adding, "in all fairness, [Obama] said he was a Christian and said he is a Christian."

On Monday, Trump shared a tweet alluding to the 2008 Democratic primary race between Clinton and Obama, when Obama's faith was a major topic of discussion. Trump suggested Clinton was to blame for the controversy.
