South Carolina: Muslim Woman, Jewish Man Kicked Out of Trump Rally for Silent Protest

HeadlineJan 11, 2016

A Muslim woman and a Jewish man were kicked out of a Donald Trump rally on Friday after silently protesting the Republican front-runner’s Islamophobic views. Speaking in Rock Hill, South Carolina, Trump began repeating his call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. and said Syrian refugees are “probably” tied to the Islamic State. At that point, Rose Hamid, a flight attendant, and Marty Rosenbluth, an attorney, stood up in silent protest. We’ll speak with Rose and Marty after headlines.
