DONALD TRUMP, OF COURSE, IN MORE AND MORE HOT WATER, WHICH
PROBABLY ONLY HELPS THEM, ABOUT THE COMMENTS SOMEONE MADE IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE WHEN HE WAS TAKING QUESTIONS.
A GUY SAID THERE IS A
PROBLEM IN THE COUNTRY, THE MUSLIMS.
AND WE HAVE GOT TO GET
RID OF THEM.
SOUNDS LIKE A BORAT SKIT, MY COUNTRY HAS A PROBLEM,
BUT TAKE OUT "IT IS THE JEW" AND PUT IN "IT IS THE MUSLIM," AND
DONALD TRUMP WILL SING ALONG WITH YOU.
SINCE HE TOOK A LOT OF
HEAT FOR THAT, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING HIM ABOUT IT.
HERE AS
PART OF HIS ANSWER.
A NO-WIN SITUATION, DO WE AGREE?
IF I STOPPED HIM -- YOU
REMEMBER THE FAMOUS THING WHEN JOHN MCCAIN JUST RIPPED THE
MICROPHONE OUT OF THE WOMAN'S HANDS, AND I DON'T KNOW, I
THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE BIT HARSH TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
DOES ANYBODY AGREE WITH ME?
THAT WAS HARSH, ISN'T IT?
THEY GAVE HIM SO MUCH CREDIT.
NOT ME, I DIDN'T GIVE HIM A LOT OF CREDIT.
SHOCKING.
HE PREFERS PEOPLE WHO DON'T RIP MICS AWAY FROM THE
AUDIENCE WHEN THEY SAY HORRIBLE, HATEFUL, BIGOTED THINGS.
THAT
GUY SAID, WE HAVE A PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY, THE MUSLIMS, THEY
HAVE TRAINING CAMPS.
THEY DON'T HAVE TRAINING CAMPS, SOME GUY
ALMOST WENT AND SHOT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE AT A CAMP IN UPSTATE NEW
YORK, IT WAS NOT A TRAINING CAMP, IT WAS A CAMP FOR KIDS.
THANK GOD THEY CAUGHT HIM.
THIS IS THE DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT WE
ARE IN.
THIS GUY SAYS, WE HAVE TO GET RID OF THEM.
AN ENTIRE
RELIGION, THEY ARE AMERICANS LIKE ANYONE ELSE, WE HAVE TO GET
RID OF THEM.
DONALD TRUMP DOES NOT FIND IT DISTURBING, HE FINDS
IT DISTURBING IF YOU RIP THE MIC AWAY FROM THAT PERSON.
DID
MCCAIN RIP THE MIC AWAY FROM THAT LADY?
LET'S FIND OUT HOW DANGEROUS THAT SITUATION WAS.
HE'S AN ARAB.
HE IS NOT --
NO, MA'AM.
RIPPED IT AWAY FROM HER.
THAT IS THE REAL DANGER.
TRUMP WILL CONTINUE HERE, DO WE HAVE A MUSLIM PROBLEM?
OH BOY.
BUCKLE UP.
YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HE SAYS, BUT THIS IS RAW,
UNVARNISHED, IGNORANT BIGOTRY.
YOU ARE A LEADER.
YOU ARE THE
FRONTRUNNER IN THE REPUBLICAN RACE, DO YOU NOT HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO CALL OUT THIS HATRED?
WE COULD BE POLITICALLY CORRECT IF YOU WANT, BUT
CERTAINLY ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM?
BECAUSE
I THINK EVERYBODY WOULD AGREE.
I HAVE FRIENDS THAT ARE MUSLIMS,
GREAT PEOPLE, AMAZING PEOPLE, AND MOST MUSLIMS, LIKE MOST
EVERYTHING, THESE ARE FABULOUS PEOPLE, BUT WE CERTAINLY DO HAVE
A PROBLEM.
YOU HAVE A PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
YOU HAVE RADICALS DOING THINGS.
IT WAS NOT PEOPLE FROM SWEDEN WHO BLEW UP THE TRADE CENTER.
WHAT IF HE SAID WE HAVE A PROBLEM IN THE WORLD CALLED BLACKS?
WOULD YOU HAVE SAID SOMETHING?
I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY LISTENED TO HIS QUESTION, WHO AM I?
I LISTENED TO HIS QUESTION, HE MADE A QUESTION/PROBABLY
STATEMENT, BUT I LISTENED TO HIS QUESTION AND I ACTUALLY DID
NOT RESPOND.
WHO AM I?
YOU ARE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
YOU ARE THE LEADER
AMONG THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
GOD HELP US ALL.
WHAT YOU MEAN, WHO
AM I?
IT IS YOUR TOWN HALL EVENT.
HE IS ASKING YOU A
QUESTION, IT IS EASY FOR YOU TO SAY NO, I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT.
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS COUNTRY IS NOT JUST MUSLIMS IN GENERAL.
IT
IS A CLASSIC TRUMP THING TO SAY THERE ARE SOME WONDERFUL
MUSLIMS.
SOME GOOD ONES.
SAME THING HE SAID ABOUT MEXICANS,
THERE ARE SOME GOOD ONES.
MAINLY RAPISTS AND CRIMINALS COMING
ACROSS THE BORDER, BUT SOME GOOD ONES.
SOME WONDERFUL ONES.
THAT'S
THE SAME THING OLD SOUTHERN RACISTS USED TO SAY.
THERE ARE
SOME GOOD BLACKS, AND THE REST OF THEM ARE -- YOU REMEMBER HOW
THEY FINISHED THAT SENTENCE, RIGHT?
AND ALSO IN THE PAST,
THERE ARE SOME GOOD ONES, BUT THE REST OF THEM ARE JEWS.
WE
HAVE HEARD THAT BEFORE.
HE DOES NOT SEE WHY THAT WOULD EVER BE A
PROBLEM.
HE WOULD NOT STOP ANYBODY FROM SAYING ANY OF THOSE
THINGS.
BECAUSE IT LEADS UP TO UGLY THINGS, AND UGLY
ASSUMPTIONS AND STEREOTYPES, UGLY DISCRIMINATION, THEN IT
GETS WORSE FROM THERE.
NOW OF COURSE WHO WILL STEP UP TO HIS
DEFENSE?
THE TWO BRAIN CELLS THAT THE THREE PEOPLE ON FOX AND
FRIENDS HAVE.
THEY WERE DEBATING WHETHER A MUSLIM SHOULD BE A PRESIDENT
BACK IN THE CREATION OF OUR COUNTRY, THERE IS A WHOLE BOOK
WRITTEN ON IT.
JEFFERSON AND MADISON DEBATING OTHER GREAT
AMERICAN FOUNDERS ABOUT, SHOULD A JEWISH PERSON BE PRESIDENT,
SHOULD A MUSLIM PERSON BE PRESIDENT.
YOU CAN HAVE THAT
DISCUSSION AND NOT BE LABELED RACIST OR A ZIONIST OR ANYTHING
ELSE.
THIS IS AN OPEN DIALOGUE, WHY IS EVERYONE CALLING OUT
EVERYONE TO APOLOGIZE?
IT IS AN ULTIMATE GOTCHA MOMENT.
WE HAVE
16 PEOPLE IN THE RACE AND EVERYTHING WAITING ON EGGSHELLS.
WHO IS REAL?
CAN HE JUST GIVE AN HONEST ANSWER?
THAT WAS ABOUT BEN CARSON, BUT THE POINT REMAINS.
THEY ARE
BOTH ATTACKING MUSLIMS, LOOK, IT IS AN HONEST ANSWER.
WE DON'T
LIKE THE MUSLIMS AND WE HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THEM.
THERE IS A
PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY CALLED THE MUSLIM.
THAT IS TRUE, THAT
IS YOUR HONEST OPINION.
I AM GLAD YOU SHARED THAT.
FINALLY,
WE GO TO DONALD TRUMP AND THE PRESIDENT.
IF THE PROBLEM IS
MUSLIMS RUNNING FOR OFFICE, MUSLIMS IN THE COUNTRY, BEN
CARSON THINKS MUSLIMS SHOULD NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT, I DON'T GET
IT.
DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT OBAMA WAS MUSLIM?
54% OF TRUMP
SUPPORTERS BELIEVE OBAMA IS MUSLIM,
43% OF ALL REPUBLICANS BELIEVE OBAMA IS MUSLIM.
DIDN'T HE ALREADY GET ELECTED?
LET'S ASK TRUMP.
CAN YOU IMAGINE SUPPORTING OR BEING COMFORTABLE IF A
MUSLIM EVER BECAME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
I CAN SAY THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT AT SOME POINT
COULD HAPPEN.
WE'LL SHE.
WOULD I BE COMFORTABLE?
I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE TO ADDRESS IT, BUT IT COULD HAPPEN.
YOU HAVE SAID WE HAVE NO PROBLEM --
SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID IT ALREADY HAPPENED, BUT OF
COURSE YOU WOULDN'T AGREE WITH THAT.
LET'S GET TO THAT.
WHY WON'T YOU CONCEDE THAT THE PRESIDENT IS A CHRISTIAN
AND WAS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES?
BECAUSE I DON'T TALK ABOUT PEOPLE'S FAITH.
IN ALL
FAIRNESS HE SAID HE IS A CHRISTIAN, HE ATTENDED THE
CHURCH OF REVEREND WRIGHT, SO I AM WILLING TO TAKE HIM ON
HIS WORD FOR THAT.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT.
HE'S UNBELIEVABLE.
EVERY TIME HE GOES OVER THE TOP, SOME
PEOPLE SAY WE ALREADY HAD A MUSLIM ELECTED.
WHAT?
DID I SAY
ANYTHING?
I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
I GUESS I WILL TAKE HIM AT HIS
WORD THAT HE IS A CHRISTIAN.
HE HAS BEEN TO CHURCH A COUPLE OF
TIMES.
I DON'T TALK ABOUT PEOPLE'S FAITH.
DUDE, YOU
BROUGHT IT UP.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
AFTER HE THROWS ALL THOSE PUNCHES
HE GOES, ME?
MUSLIM?
I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT MUSLIMS.
OBAMA?
I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT OBAMA.
THESE GUYS ARE
UNREAL, MAN.
THEY JUST KEEP GOING AND GOING.
IF YOU THINK
TRUMP WILL APOLOGIZE FOR SOMETHING, YOU DON'T KNOW THE
MAN AT ALL.
HIS SUPPORTERS LOVE THIS, THEY ARE LIKE, YES.
THE
MUSLIM IS THE PROBLEM.
[SINGING] MY COUNTRY HAS A PROBLEM, IT IS
THE MUSLIM.
TED NUGENT ALSO TWEETED, OBAMA IS A CHRISTIAN &
I'M A GAY VEGETARIAN PIRATE.
OBAMA IS A CHRISTIAN, EVEN
DONALD TRUMP KIND OF CONCEDED THAT, SO I DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE A
GAY VEGETARIAN PIRATE, YOU SAID IT.
WHAT KIND OF PIRATE?
I DON'T
EVEN WANT TO KNOW.
