HUD Secretary Ben Carson, who worked for decades as a neurosurgeon in Baltimore, said that despite progress in the Maryland city, 'there are problems and we can't sweep them under the rug.'

Washington Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, who worked for decades as a top neurosurgeon in Baltimore, on Wednesday stood by President Donald Trump's depiction of the city as a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess."

Carson told reporters during a visit to the city that despite progress Baltimore has made in recent years,"there are problems and we can't sweep them under the rug.""It's sort of like if you have a patient who has cancer. You can dress them up, and put a nice suit on them, and you can try to ignore it, but that cancer is going to have a devastating effect," said Carson, who has frequently defended the President against charges of racism over the years.
