Even as Donald Trump faces his latest self-perpetuated crisis, the GOP presidential nominee still has friends and surrogates willing to support him. One such surrogate is sleepy former brain surgeon Ben Carson. As The Wall Street Journal’s Reid Epstein reported, via Twitter:

Ben Carson still stands with Trump "100%," Armstrong Williams tells me. Of lewd tape: "It's no different from what you hear in rap music." — Reid J. Epstein (@reidepstein) October 8, 2016

Yep! While other Republicans start to very very belatedly distancethemselves from their party’s standard-bearer, Carson is sticking by Trump’s side. Or is he?

Dr. Ben Carson tells @FoxNews more Trump revelations are coming. — toddstarnes (@toddstarnes) October 8, 2016

And to think Carson used to put his hands in other people’s brains for a living! Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.
