"Ben and Candy Carson terrific," Murdoch wrote about the candidate and his wife. "What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else."
This is not the first time that Murdoch has praised Carson on Twitter. Murdoch has also previously been critical of Donald Trump, with the real estate mogul feuding with Fox News of late.
Murdoch has posted controversial tweets in the past. Earlier this year, J.K. Rowling took umbrage with his tweet about Muslims following the Charlie Hebdo attacks.
The tweet is below.
