A Muslim woman wearing a hijab was escorted out of Donald Trump's campaign event on Friday by police after she stood up in silent protest during Trump's speech.
Rose Hamid, a 56-year-old flight attendant sitting in the stands directly behind Trump, stood up Friday during Trump's speech when the Republican front-runner suggested that Syrian refugees fleeing war in Syria were affiliated with ISIS.
Trump has previously called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S.
Despite her silence, Trump supporters around her began chanting Trump's name -- as instructed by Trump campaign staff before the event in the event of protests -- and pointed at Hamid and Marty Rosenbluth, the man alongside her who stood up as well.
As they were escorted out, Trump supporters roared -- booing the pair and shouting at them to "get out." One person shouted, "You have a bomb, you have a bomb," according to Hamid.
"The ugliness really came out fast and that's really scary," Hamid told CNN in a phone interview after she was ejected.
only in america. lovely. that's the humanitarian that trump is, that's what he stands for, pure, evil hate... trump says islam is the worst and dangerous, no white male republicans are bc they spread hate like an airborne disease.
She was obviously sent there by the liberal propaganda machine to cause unnecessary drama. So transparent
even if that was so, trump and his supporters did not address her with arguments, they just removed her bc they know that they cannot have a discussion with people who have brains.

Some of you are so ridiculous, maybe she was there to prove a point not everyone is looking for publicity.
What kind of publicity would she get? especially when being muslim isn't popular.
