Ah...a quiz, and she went right to Twitter with the 'gotcha.' And, you came right to PA with it. Demos are just soooooooooo lovable! 
I asked @SecretaryCarson about REOs – a basic term related to foreclosure – at a hearing today. He thought I was referring to a chocolate sandwich cookie. No, really. pic.twitter.com/cYekJAkRag — Rep. Katie Porter (@RepKatiePorter) May 21, 2019

Being the HUD Secretary and blanking on what a REO is... well... its something.
He's a great Neurosurgeon... at least he's got that going for him...

I've made plenty of money with real estate in the past.
My brother is a real estate investor and owns lots of properties.
We spent some time this year looking at REOs.
When I saw REO in the title of the thread, I didn't know what it was.
Before I read the thread, I opened a new window to Google REO, but suddenly remembered what it meant.
I'm about the same age as Dr. Carson, he was in a high pressure situation responding to people that hate him.
I have to give him a pass for his little public brain freeze.

I don't think Johns Hopkins hires incompetent surgeons.Unless you think he's an affirmative action hire.

PA's comment was sarcasm, methinks. Demos, likely, will find a reason to "investigate" Carson, too, so that they can "REALLY know." Is that not their waste-of-time-and-money-obstruction MO, lately?
