Ben Carson continues as one of the least helpful surrogates in recent memory with this gem attempting to defend Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski:

Carson defends Lewandowski by telling @JohnBerman "you've probably been charged with something too" To which he responds "I actually havent" — Katherine Faulders (@KFaulders) April 7, 2016

OMG actual conversation Ben Carson just had with an anchor on CNN: pic.twitter.com/NVuYy8qJdh — Gabby Morrongiello (@gabriellahope_) April 7, 2016

No, Ben … not everyone has “probably been charged with something, too.”

Here’s the video. Check out how the hosts just look at each other, stunned, when Carson makes his accusation:

Then there was the time Ben Carson suggested I committed a crime…on TV.https://t.co/ZZP7tAZ8Lz — John Berman (@JohnBerman) April 7, 2016

And using this rationale, Lewandowski could have stabbed Michelle Fields with a knife as long as it hit her belt buckle.

Also, Ben Carson is a hilariously horrible surrogate. Before he shuffles off into Ignominious obscurity, SNL has to cold open his work. — Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) April 7, 2016

It's also a lousy defense. https://t.co/7UjTDGwu1G — Emily Gertz (@ejgertz) April 7, 2016
