Donald Trump has refused to apologize for comments he made about opponent Ben Carson's religion.

"I'm Presbyterian. Boy, that's down the middle of the road folks, in all fairness. I mean, Seventh-day Adventist, I don't know about. I just don't know about," Trump said to the crowd in Jacksonville on Saturday.
