Woman in hijab ejected from Donald Trump rally, again

Washington: A hijab-clad Muslim woman, who was evicted from a Donald Trump rally in January, has been booted out of his campaign event yet again. This time, she was handing out pens inscribed with the word ‘salam’ which means ‘peace’.

Rose Hamid said a member of the Republican candidate’s security staff removed her from the event in Charlotte, North Carolina, even before the rally began on the pretext that she was causing a “disturbance”.


“I just wanted to let people know that Muslims who don’t support Trump can get along with people who do support Trump,” said Hamid. Interestingly, some Trump supporters were accepting of her gesture and were quoted as saying, “I thought it was sweet. I loved the little saying on it”.

This was the second time Hamid was kicked out of a Donald Trump rally after she was evicted from an event for a silent protest in January.

However yesterday, she said, “He claimed that I had been at several other disturbances, which is a lie. So that tells me they have a prejudice against Muslims.” She also expressed concerns over what life may be like under a Trump presidency. “The fact that he wouldn’t allow me to be there says this is what America is going to be like if he’s president,” she said.

Trump campaign chairman resigns
Paul Manafort on Friday resigned as Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, after Trump earlier this week announced a new leadership structure for his campaign. His position was further weakened when Ukraine released details of payments made to him. “This morning Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted, his resignation from the campaign. I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delegate and convention process. Paul is a true professional and I wish him the greatest success,” Trump said in a statement.
