During an interview with Erin Burnett on Thursday, Donald Trump suggested that there is no cure for Ben Carson's "pathological temper," the same way, he contends, that there is no cure for "child molesting." "It's in the book that he's got a pathological temper," Trump said. "That's a big problem because you don't cure that ... as an example: child molesting. You don't cure these people. You don't cure a child molester. There's no cure for it. Pathological, there's no cure for that."

When the Daily Beast sent Doug Watts, Carson's communications manager, the link to Trump's remark, he responded "no comment." Trump's campaign has not returned a request for comment.
