Santorum on Trump ‘Muslim problem’ question: ‘It’s not Donald Trump’s job…to
The reality TV star and real estate mogul who remains atop many GOP presidential polls took to Twitter in typical Trump fashion for his response.
This is not Donald Trump’s first incident regarding President Obama’s nationality.
“I would say that we have to be vigilant for those who have come into our country, particularly from the Middle East”, Paul said.
Trump’s side defended his response, saying, “Christians need support in this country”, and that he was responding only to the man’s question about an apparent rise in terrorist “training camps”. “You have to push back“, Graham said, referencing John McCain’s decision to shut down a woman who falsely called Obama an Arab at a town hall in 2008.
“We are going to be looking at a lot of different things”.
The campaign trail exchange triggered the latest uproar over the Republican frontrunner’s regard for minorities in America, and prompted at least one opposition party White House hopeful to say he would have corrected the man immediately.
A United States presidential candidate known for his political incorrectness, Donald Trump, is in trouble for not discussing this time.
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who is close with McCain, said on MSNBC on Friday that Trump is “playing into this hateful narrative” about Obama.
Wasserman Schultz also said that all Republican presidential candidates who did not denounce Trump’s comments immediately “will be tacitly agreeing with him“.
But he also said that Americans liked the fact that he did not react to things like voter anger and debate questions with the ordinary language of politicians.
But the businessman fired off five tweets Saturday to argue that he should not have had to correct his conspiracy-theorist supporter in the first place.
Trump has questioned Obama’s background in the past. Instead, he said his campaign will conduct a plan.
However, Trump received criticism from both Republicans and Democrats.
“If you look at a lot of the people I have been watching on television, they have been men”.
He continued, “This is the first time in my life that I have caused controversy by NOT saying something… Those two things are self-evident, ‘” he said. “I don’t think so!”, he began.
Speaking to the New Hampshire convention Saturday, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton – whose 2008 campaign was notably accused of insinuating that Obama was a Muslim, with Clinton herself saying the then-senator wasn’t a Muslim “as far as I know” – ripped Trump over the controversy.
Trump jokingly asked the crowd.
Trump’s campaign claimed Friday that the Don didn’t hear the part about Obama being a Muslim.
