Washington (CNN)—Donald Trump came under fire Thursday night for his handling of a question at a town hall about when the U.S. can "get rid" of Muslims, for failing to take issue with that premise and an assertion that President Barack Obama is Muslim.
"We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims," an unidentified man who spoke at a question-and-answer town hall event in Rochester, New Hampshire asked the mogul. "You know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American."
A seemingly bewildered Trump interrupted the man, chuckling, "We need this question. This is the first question."
"Anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us," the man, wearing a "Trump" T-shirt, continued. "That's my question: When can we get rid of them?"

CNN is going nuts saying Trump should have corrected the man. Not a word about the Muslim terrorist camps. The press sounds Islamophobic. I thought there wasn't anything wrong with being a Muslim.
IAC, why challenge the truth?
It’s not just CNN.
AP and NBC are going bat-sh!t crazy over it too.
Gotta protect their boy Obama.
And more to the point, since when is it any candidate's job to rephrase the attendee's questions?
He threw a rock over the wall, and now the mutts are yipping about it.
“Since when is it Trump’s job to explain Obama’s religion?
And more to the point, since when is it any candidate’s job to rephrase the attendee’s questions?:
Another good point.
Media will go crazy on this. Sounds like a set up. Trump needs to watch out for these ambushes.

When you screen the audience, don’t let dissenters in, pre select who will be ‘called on’, give ‘them’ questions to ask - ‘so they can ‘study’ it and deliver it smoothly’ etc etc, it is entirely natural to think the ‘other side’ does the same.
I remember reading an article about these training camps years ago. Then the media went silent about them.
Throw out the faggots,the illegal aliens, and the press for good measure.
Since when is it Trump’s job to defend this president?
The media may not know this, but TRUMP IS RUNNING AS A REPUBLICAN - let the Democrats defend Trump.
Bottom line - Trump is no McCain, who treated his supporters like crap. Unless someone incites (or commits) violence, Trump isn’t going to do anything to break the bond between him and his voters.
The corrupt media, formerly known as mainstream media, keep firing their bb guns at Iron Man Trump.
“Trump needs to watch out for these ambushes.”
I liked his answer. Puts me more in Trump’s camp. He is allowing the people to voice their opinions. The Republicans are too scared to allow us to question Obama’s motives.
“The media may not know this, but TRUMP IS RUNNING AS A REPUBLICAN - let the Democrats defend Trump.”
Sorry, that one got away:
Let the Democrats defend OBAMA!! (not Trump)
“We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims,” an unidentified man who spoke
‘Trump needs to watch out for these ambushes.’
Not really. The only people who won’t like how Trump handled it are people who were never going to vote for him to begin with. For everyone else it will be neutral or a plus.l
“I liked his answer. Puts me more in Trump’s camp. He is allowing the people to voice their opinions. The Republicans are too scared to allow us to question Obama’s motives.”
Agree...clearly an ambush question, and the media wasted no time in responding. A CLEAR SET-UP.
Only problem is that it’s also the truth.
The defenders of Political Correctness are gonna howl mightily as Trump ushers in its destruction.
Blood will be gushing out of their wherevers.

Nah, leave the press... so we can hang them from lampposts.
