Stephanopolous Asks Trump Why He Doesn't Say Obama Is Not A Muslim


By Ian Schwartz, Sep 20, 2015 Real Clear Politics

ABC News' George Stephanopoulos grills Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on a question he received at a campaign event last week where a man stated President Obama is a Muslim.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, "THIS WEEK" HOST: Let's get into this controversy that's come up over the last two days. I saw your tweets yesterday, where you say you didn't have a moral responsibility when that questioner got up and said those things about President Obama.

But this is getting a lot of attention in part because you've raised questions like this in the past.

So for the record, was President Obama born in the United States?

TRUMP: Well, you know, I don't get into it, George. I talk about jobs. I'm talking about the military. I don't get into it. I mean, he asked that question and I just want to talk about the things because frankly it's of no longer interest to me. We're beyond that. And it's just something I don't talk about. I want to talk about the military. I want to talk about the vets and how badly they're treated. I want to talk about jobs. I don't get into that, George.

  1. What's the big deal if the questioner made the statement? Is it Trump's fault that one of his questioners is a little dense? The heart of the question is what will be done about activities going on in this country by Moslems that might endanger us. It's a bit late to address if BO is Moslem or not or if he was born in this country or not. I mean, he's been in office 7 years! He could be Martian for all we know!
