For no apparent reason, a Muslim woman was kicked out of a Donald Trump rally this Friday according to CNN.
Rose Hamid said she “came to the rally to let Trump supporters see what a Muslim looks like” and stood silently with a t-shirt that read, “I Come In Peace.”
About halfway through the South Carolina rally, some Trump supporters in the crowd “turned pretty ugly” toward the woman, shouting “epithets.” She was then escorted out by security.
“There is hatred against us that is unbelievable. It’s their hatred, it’s not our hatred,” Trump said as Hamid was being removed.
Trump has stoked antipathy against Muslims by calling for a total ban on Muslim immigration into the U.S. Since making the announcement Trump’s standing in the polls has only improved.
