"I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this country. I absolutely would not agree with that," Ben Carson said on NBC.

"I think Dr. Carson needs to apologize," Lindsey Graham said.

His comments came after Trump failed to correct an audience member at a rally who said President Barack Obama was Muslim. (Video via CNN)
