Trump pointed at someone on the front rows and asked the crowd if the protester was wearing “one of those hatsâ€, but the media spun it to imply Trump was being a bigot by making fun of the man for being ‘one of those non-Christian foreigners’.
ABC News published an article that was tweeted by their political director Rick Klein that had the headline, “Trump Mocks Protester Wearing a Turbanâ€.
(Note: ABC replaced the original article in Klein’s tweet with an edited version that removed the accusation of ‘mocking’.)
The ABC article was picked up by affiliates around the country including, Boston’s WCVB-TV and Chicago’s WLS-TV.
“Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump mocked a protester wearing a turban today during a rare Sunday appearance.
The man stood up and revealed a sign reading “Stop Hate†at Trump’s event in Muscatine.
“He wasn’t wearing one of those hats was he?†Trump said, referring to the man wearing a turban, as the protester was being removed.
ABC later edited the story and headline without notice, removing the false accusation that Trump mocked the man for wearing a turban but the damage was already done.

Trump needs to fire up his lawyers. Media’s getting more brazen about publishing lies.
It must be very confusing for them.
I saw the video of that. He was speaking to someone in the crowd about the hat thing.
And they left off the rest of what he said, which made it clear he was talking about one of his hats.
Sense when is towelhead offensive?
abc sucks
The pro Trump voters will just hold the line. We see what the MSM are doing and we see what really did happen as we watched the rally live.
Go Trump Go!!!
AMEN!!!
GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
I wouldn’t sweat it. There’s not much of a turban-wearing voter pool to offend and Trump’s supporters couldn’t care less.
Right! Don’t waiver, stay firm and beware the media and GOPe efforts to derail Trump.
Exactly. I was having to debate with some doofus here at fr last week in regards to an islamic woman wearing a halloween towel. Too funny.

The media is always going to do this. Trump will use it in his next rally as an excuse to deride the MSM.
they come to America and still dress like genies...... F em........Trump will be polling 50% next week......
“Towelhead”?
This country is passing you by.
WHO CARES whether he’s a sihker or a muzzie towel head. He’s an aggitator......BOUNCE HIM.
Racist Trump voters will be all over this thread.
