Quote:The day following the debate Donald Trump held a town-hall in New Hampshire. Some radical asked him a question in which he accused Barack Obama of being a Muslim and said "We have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question, when can we get rid of them?”. Donald Trump laughed and replied “A lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. We’re going to be looking at that and a lot of different things.”

 

He is now catching heat because he did not correct the radical and say Obama is a Christian.

 

Should he apologize for not correcting the radical like McCain did in 2008? Should he even be catching heat? Thoughts?

 

Personally I feel it is absolutely silly to expect him to correct the questioner. He laughed at the question and gave a second-rate response. It was obvious watching the video that he didn't really care about the question. It just seems so insignificant, yet the MSM (Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc) is of course making a HUGE ordeal about it. This whole "scandal" seems so obviously forced it is kind of sickening.

I suppose CNN and FOX have tired of his antics and are ready to move on to the new Flavorina of the Month.

 

I've only seen the clip once, in passing, but it didn't seem like the guy asking the question was very loud or clear. It's possible that Trump just didn't hear the whole thing clearly and, instead of asking the guy to speak up and repeat himself, he just answered what he heard.

 

It does seem like a forced controversy. As nuts as Trump is, I sincerely doubt that he believes President Obama to be a radical Muslim, or that there's a need to "get rid of" Muslims in America.
