Carson Under Fire for Comparing Syrian Refugees to "Rabid Dogs" 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, Republican front-runners Donald Trump and Ben Carson are both
under fire for comments they've made about refugees and Muslims in the
wake of the Paris attacks. On Thursday, Ben Carson used an analogy to
"rabid dogs" in defending his opposition to the resettlement of Syrian
refugees. Carson's campaign also issued a map of the United States
depicting the states where more than two dozen governors have said they
oppose resettlement — but the map erroneously placed five New
England states in the wrong location.
