Quote:Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is now tearing into one of the rivals he long declined to criticize: retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

In a CNN interview on Thursday, the real-estate magnate attacked Carson's religiosity, persona, qualifications for the presidency, views on abortion — and even his medical record.

"He was a doctor, perhaps an OK doctor, by the way. You should check that out too. We're not talking about a great [doctor]. He was an OK doctor," Trump said.

As a doctor, Carson drew national attention at John Hopkins "by conducting a succession of operations that had never been performed successfully," according to The New York Times, "most famously planning and managing the first separation of conjoined twins connected through major blood vessels in the brain."

Trump said he was criticizing Carson because the retired brain surgeon took a shot at him the day before. CNN reported that Carson was asked at an event how he was different from Trump, and he responded by comparing their faith in God.

"Probably the biggest thing — I've realized where my success has come from and I don't in anyway deny my faith in God," replied Carson, a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church. "By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life, and that's a very big part of who I am. I don't get that impression with him."

Some political observers have suggested that Trump could struggle to win over evangelical voters because of his casual public approach to his own religion. For example, Trump has said he doesn't seek forgiveness from God and referred to Holy Communion as eating "my little cracker" and drinking "my little wine."

Nobody crosses Trump and lives to tell about it.

Carson is a world-class doctor.

Johns Hopkins.

Why is it so hard to get that right?

Trump is 'gracefully' trying to bow out of the race

He's a clown. But a funny one. You know it. I know it.

I would trust Dr. Carson with my life on an operating table.

So... yeah, disagree with Trump here.

Trump would use a sledgehammer for a scalpel, you can open a hole bigger and faster.

Whenever you're the first person to do something successfully in the medical world, I consider you great.

Probably because the other circumstances where "Johns" makes sense are when a cruise ship sinks or at a street festival with rows of port-a-potties.

If they get Ruth's Chris Steakhouse right, they should get Johns Hopkins right.

It makes my head spin how good he is.

He is so good at doctoring.

After last night...I tend to agree with Donald.

Any doctor who could stand idly by as Donald pushed off that idiotic anecdotal story about close together immunizations causing autism needs their license revoked.

Red, you're an okay doctor too.
