WASHINGTON — Republican Ben Carson has started a petition calling on the IRS to target the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group.
The retired neurosurgeon accused the Council on American-Islamic Relations on Thursday of violating its nonprofit tax status in a Facebook message. Carson said the organization “brazenly violated IRS rules” when it called last month for him to leave the 2016 presidential race.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations lashed out at Carson after he said he would not support a Muslim president. CAIR D.C. responded by holding a news conference calling on Ben Carson to withdraw from Presidential race.
