Teen Trump fan, ejected from Charlotte rally, says he was profiled

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- An 18-year-old Charlotte, N.C., college student who was ejected from Thursday's Donald Trump rally says he went from avid backer to disillusioned opponent after Trump's security accused him of being a known protester.

Jake Anantha, who registered as a Republican and cast his first primary vote for Trump, was wearing a Trump shirt when police removed him from the Charlotte Convention Center before the rally began. He and his father, Ramesh Anantha, say they believe he was profiled because of his dark skin. "It's unbelievably ironic," said Ramesh Anantha, whose parents emigrated from India. He says his son, as a young person of color appearing at a rally where the Republican presidential nominee touted his support for people of color, "should have been looked at as a perfect Trump supporter. He should have been somebody they're putting up on stage."

The “teen” was with Rose Hamid - she supports radical imams, is anti-Israel, excuses muslim terrorism....in short, she’s a plant. Probably so is the “teen” Jake.

If Salam means peace, allah akbar mean something quite the opposite based on the actions of the people chanting it.

FWIW, I don’t have anything about Trump on my FB page either. You can be a supporter without proclaiming it so openly.

I am ALWAYS suspicious of these ‘connections’ in VA/DC myself.

It's because the only thing connecting the rotted out fabric of the DC/MD/VA area are the worms who have hollowed it out. Try to finds someone who can actually do something. - yeah sure I will fix the welds on your chair. That's 100 bucks for the weld and 1000 bucks for the licenses, paperwork, and contributions to the party.

Ooooh CNN. Then it MUST be legit.

The media shills just leap from one expose to another about Trump. They are becoming obviously silly to all but the most brain dead observer.

The father, Ramesh, is a friend of mine. They are Indian and attend the same church I do.

I’ve know them for 15+ years. They are Christians, not Muslims.

Just because Jake is mentioned in articles that also mention the Muslim woman doesn’t mean they are linked.

Y’all need to put the paranoia aside for a bit. This looks like he was mistaken for someone else.

LOL the Anantha’s are hardly liberal plants.

Also, Ramesh is the son of Indian immigrants (legal immigrants). Jake is half Indian.

They aren’t Arab or middle-Eastern.

You can look this up but 10% of the world’s muslim population resides in India.

Matthew Continetti: Donald Trump Unraveled (Washington Free Beacon, 8/19/2016)
If Mitt Romney, with all his intelligence, fluency, decency, drive, resources, and victory in the first presidential debate was unable to overcome President Obama’s convention bounce, why would a despised ignoramus with no money, no organization, no political experience, no party unity, and no clue be able to overcome Clinton’s? Does he believe more taco bowls will do the trick?
“It’s preseason, for heaven’s sake,” a frustrated and hapless Mike Pence told the Republican Governors Association earlier this week. “The gun starts on Labor Day.” So it does. But here’s the thing about the preseason: Most of the time it shows just how crappy a team you have."
Well that answered the question, Re: Matthew Continetti.

I am calling BS on this article too. As others have pointed out this was a set up from the get go.

I don’t doubt this but please read my previous post. They aren’t Muslims and although Rose Hamid is apparently Arab and is incorrectly associated with this young man I can assure you they aren’t Arabs. I have known these people personally for many years and attend the same church.

Everyone needs to put down the pitchforks and take a deep breath.

I know that the left is not above agitprop and planting rabble rousers amongst us, but it’s not the case here.

The media is just enjoying this story because they believe it makes Trump look bad.
