Carson recites Preamble of the Constitution at GOP debate

Republican presidential candidate's closing statement at the 7th GOP debate in Des Moines, Iowa

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson had a unique closing argument during Thursday night’s GOP prime-time Fox News/Google debate.

Instead of summing up his positions or his selling point to voters, he recited the Preamble to the Constitution.

“Please think of our founding fathers as you listen,” he said, before reciting the Preamble.

He ended his remarks: “Folks, it’s not too late -- enough said.”

According to Google, searches for “Constitution Preamble” spiked 900 percent during the debate.
