U.S. Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson attended the speech of Pope Francis in the U.S. Congress House Chamber. He was invited by Representative Mark Sanford as a special guest.
“Dr. Carson appreciates the invitation from Congressman Mark Sanford and is looking forward to hearing the thoughts of the Holy leader,” Carson spokesperson Lindsay Perry said in a statement to The Hill.
Carson is a Seventh-day Adventist who recently made headlines by saying he did not support a Muslim that did not renounce Sharia law to become U.S. President.
