Exactly.
But that is not what Carson said. Pls read his actual words.

Closing the Presidential ballot to all Muslims because
"Islam is not consistent with the US Constitution" is,
in itself, not consistent with the 6th Amendment.

Therefore, a voting for a candidate because he/she makes such a proposal is hypocritical.

The US went through this before with the Catholic religion and JF Kennedy.
We put it behind us.
