Dems use hearing to repeatedly quiz, stump Ben Carson on obscure acronyms

For Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee, Ben Carson’s unfamiliarity with certain abbreviations is nothing to LOL about.
The lawmakers, perhaps in coordination or perhaps by chance, used a committee hearing Tuesday to repeatedly grill the secretary of Housing and Urban Development on the meaning of obscure acronyms -- and then mocked him for not knowing....

Yet this wasn’t the only instance Tuesday where Carson was quizzed on his agency lexicon. At another point, Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty asked Carson to discuss “OMWI.”

Their discourse degenerated from there.

“Are you familiar with OMWI and what it is?” Beatty asked.
Carson replied: "With who?"
"OMWI," she said.
"Amway?" Carson asked, referring to the marketing company.
"OMWI,” Beatty said. “Come on Mr. Secretary. Now, I asked you this when you were here last year.”
Beatty eventually explained that she was referring to an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion.
Beatty asked for Carson to name who leads that office; Carson said he couldn’t give her a name.
“Will you do me a favor, will you find out and would you send me a note back so we don’t ever have to repeat this again?” she said.

But a Republican on the committee, New York Rep. Lee Zeldin, called Beatty’s question to Carson “unfair,” explaining HUD doesn't have such an office.

UNFAIR DEMZ MAKE CARSON LOOK BAD WITH TRICKS.
SHAMEFUL--LIKE THEY TREATED BETSY DEVOS, RYAN ZINKE, AND SCOTT PRUITT.
