Carson: Can somebody attack me, please?

Ben Carson wasn’t getting much screen time during Thursday night’s GOP presidential debate.

So he offered up an idea.

{mosads}”Can somebody attack me, please?” the former neurosurgeon said off-camera as Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio verbally sparred at the debate, hosted by CNN in Houston.

Carson has repeatedly complained at the debates that he has received little speaking time, and Thursday was no exception.

When moderator Wolf Blitzer earlier asked Carson about a question about how he’d handle North Korea, he pivoted to previous questions.

“Well first of all, people say that I whine a lot because I don’t get time,” Carson said. “I’m going to whine.

“Because I didn’t get asked about taxes. I didn’t get asked about Israel,” he continued.

“Hugh, you said you were going to be fair with everybody, you didn’t ask me about taxes. I had something to say about that,” Carson said to Hugh Hewitt, another debate moderator.
