Director Michael Moore Starts #WeAreAllMuslim Campaign In Front Of Trump Towers
“So, in desperation and insanity, you call for a ban on all Muslims entering this country”.
Moore went on to say that he was raised to believe in equality of people as brothers and sisters, regardless of race, colour and religion. You and I went on to do the show. “We are all Muslim, just as we are all Mexican, we are all Catholic and Jewish and white and black and every shade in between”, he said.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment, and the candidate has not tweeted about Moore or the incident at Trump Tower.
“Donald, you re not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency – and I do have strength”, Bush said. “And everyone else”, Mr. Moore wrote.
Moore then made this ridiculous pronouncement, underscored by a photograph of himself touting the same while standing, alone no less, with a cardboard sign outside Trump Tower in Manhattan: “We are all Muslim”.
Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States following the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California by a Muslim couple.
Known for thought provoking documentaries like “Fahrenheit 9/11” and Academy Award winning “Bowling for Columbine”, filmmaker Michael Moore has openly declared to Trump that “we are all Muslims”.
“Today we’re here because his offensive remarks about the Muslim community”, he said.
In his letter, he narrated an incident when he met Trump many years ago during a talk show where the now President candidate was all “jittery” and “nervous” about sharing the stage with Moore. We are not all Muslim.
The prime-time event also featured New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who said his experience as a federal prosecutor makes him the most experienced in going after terror suspects.
In the first question for Trump, he was asked if his plans for isolation were a good idea.
Employing that old, “some of my very best friends are Muslims” schtick, Trump refused to waver from his racist beliefs throughout the exchange.
“We’re talking about security”.
He said he didn’t understand why the crowd would object to infiltrating terrorists’ conversations.
Remaining defiant, Trump replied with a rhetorical question: “So they can kill us, but we can’t kill them?” Critics have ripped Trump for suggesting a policy so antithetical to American ideals – as well as one that could violate the Constitution – but polls indicate it has strong public support with Republican voters.
