During a rally at a town hall in New Hampshire, one member of the crowd said that Obama was a Muslim - a statement that Trump did not bother to correct - and asked Trump what he plans to do with the "training camps" of Muslim in the United States.
"We're going to be looking at a lot of different things," Trump responded to the question, CNN reported. "You know, a lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening."
Trump has received criticism for not correcting the statement and he took to Twitter his response regarding the incident.
Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? I don't think so! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2015
If I would have challenged the man, the media would have accused me of interfering with that man's right of free speech. A no win situation! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2015
