Trumble continues! Muslim woman removed from Trump’s campaign event
When Donald Trump started to speak about Syrian refugees being banned from entering the United States and suggested that many had ties to ISIS, Rose Hamid, stood up in silent protest.
“She silently stood up out of her seat,” Dailymail reports.
Hamid, 56, was immediately escorted out of the event by the police while the audience booed and yelled ‘get out’ at the woman.
After the woman was removed from the event which held in South Carolina, Friday night, Trump is quoted to have said: “There is hatred against us that is unbelievable. It’s their hatred, it’s not our hatred”.
Hamid attended the event wearing a hijab and a shirt with the inscription, “Salam, I come in peace”.
She told the CNN that she figured most Trump supporters had never met a Muslim and she wanted to give them the opportunity to meet one.
She added that things had been going well at the event with the people she spoke with seeming “receptive and eager to talk”.
All that changed however when she decided to stand.
The uglinesss really came out fast and that’s really scary, she said.
Police said Hamid was removed because they had been briefed beforehand that “anybody who made any kind of disturbance” would be escorted from the premises.
After the event, the presidential hopeful tweeted:
Great even in SC tonight! Fire Marshall would not let everyone in-- 5,000 turned away. Thank you for coming!
