Rupert Murdoch: Carson could be ‘a real black president’

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch on Wednesday said Republican Ben Carson would be “a real black president,” implying doubts about President Obama’s connection to minorities.

The chairman and CEO of News Corporation tweeted Wednesday night: “Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else.”

As though anticipating questions about Obama, Murdoch tweeted moments later with a call to read a New York Magazine article titled “The Paradox of the First Black President.”
