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.

But later in the day, the bombastic businessman struck a different tone, acknowledging when asked that he would have “no problem” with appointing a Muslim American to his cabinet if he were elected.

I heard a lot of “repealing” and “tearing up” but not much “drafting” and “implementing”, Scott said. “Ready?”

“They say there is a problem with certain militants that obviously you report on every night on your newscasts”, Trump said.

In a related report by the Inquisitr, Bernie Sanders has denounced Ben Carson’s Muslim president comment, claiming that he was “very disappointed” in the GOP candidate.

Rep. Pete King, who has been critical of the Muslim community in this country for not denouncing terrorism, disagreed with Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson‘s view that a Muslim should not be president.

“As the campaign season advances, we urge all presidential candidates to avoid innuendo and stereotyping of all sorts, including against people based on their faith, particularly American Muslims and, instead, to confront all forms of prejudice and bigotry”.

“As a candidate, as a businessman, as a man who is running for president, he should have been much, much sharper and clearer in his response and he wasn’t”, said Shameri, originally from Iraq.

Pushing back against the outrage made by his remarks, Carson told The Hill that he was one of the few candidates running for president willing to tell the hard truths. “It is an absurd hypothetical question“.

When asked if he was comfortable with a Muslim being president, Trump, who has challenged Obama on his birthplace and citizenship multiple times in the past, told “Meet the Press“, “It’s something that at some point could happen”.

I will not falter.

The White House also responded to Trump’s refusal to correct a supporter who stated at a Trump event on Thursday night that President Barack Obama himself is a Muslim.

Donald Trump on Saturday defended his failure to challenge a man who called President Obama a Muslim and charged that Muslims are a “problem” in the United States.
