Hillary Clinton’s hero is a man who dedicated a book to Lucifer, Dr. Ben Carson said in a scathing criticism Tuesday night at the RNC in Cleveland.

During a speech in support of Republican party nominee Donald Trump, the retired neurosurgeon said America should think about whether it wants someone whose mentor Saul Alinsky dedicated his book, “Rules for Radicals” to “Lucifer, the original radical who gained his own kingdom.”

“The secular progressive agenda is antithetical to the principles of the founding of this nation,” Carson said.

Clinton followed the community organizer closely throughout her college career, even dedicating her senior thesis to his left-leaning ideas of political subversion. The Bill Clinton White House later attempted to bury the thesis.

“This was someone that [Hillary] greatly admired and that affected all of her philosophies subsequently,” the former presidential candidate said.

Here’s an excerpt from Carson’s speech:

One of the things that I have learned about Hillary Clinton is that one of her heros, her mentors, was Saul Alinsky.

And her senior thesis was about Saul Alinsky. This was someone that she greatly admired and that affected all of her philosophies subsequently.

Now interestingly enough let me tell you about Saul Alinsky. He wrote a book called “Rules for Radicals.” On the dedication page it acknowledges Lucifer, “the original radical who gained his own kingdom.”

Now think about that. This is a nation where our founding document the Declaration of Independence talks about certain inalienable rights that come from our Creator. This is a nation where our Pledge of Allegience says that we are “One Nation under God.” This is a nation where every coin in our pocket and every bill in our wallet says “In God we Trust.”

So are willing to elect someone as president who has as their role model somebody who acknowledges Lucifer? Think about that.

The secular progressive agenda is antithetical to the principles of the founding of this nation.

And if we continue to allow them to take God out of our lives, God will remove himself from us, we will not be blessed, and our nation will go down the tubes and we will be responsible for that. We don’t want that to happen.

On Wednesday, Carson defended his comments to CNN, who questioned why he linked Hillary to Lucifer.

“Recognize that this is a very famous book, ‘Rules for Radicals,’ and on the dedication page, [author Saul Alinsky] acknowledged Lucifer in an admiring way, saying he’s the original radical who gained his own kingdom,” Carson told CNN.

When host Chris Cuomo tried to argue the Alinsky connection was antiquated, Carson responded that Clinton personally knew Alinsky and was on a “first name basis” with him.

“We all have people who are our mentors. We all have people who we admire. As a college student at Wellesley, she was on a first-name basis with Saul Alinsky,” Carson said. “They were very close.”

Clinton insider Larry Nichols has also commented on Hillary’s fascination (or participation) with the Satanic occult.

Nichols recounted to Infowars last year a conversation he had with Bill Clinton, who told him Hillary was part of a witch’s coven that met in California.

“I know nothing about the Bohemian Grove with Bill,” Nichols told Infowars. “I know about once a month Hillary would go out to Los Angeles. And she did it so regular that it became a bit of an issue trying to.. ‘Why’s she always going?'”

“Bill told me that she was going out there, she and a group of women, and she would be a part of a witch’s church. Man, when Bill told me that, she could have hit me with a baseball bat. I tried to point out to him, ‘Do you realize what would happen if that got out?’ Of course my job was to make sure it didn’t get out.”

“Now i don’t know the day, if Hillary still partakes in the witch ritual, I don’t know that I even know what the ritual was. But for the better part of many years, Hillary would go quite often, whether it was regularly once a month, or maybe once every couple of months, she would go out on the weekend simply to be a part of it.”
