Donald Trump condones request to fire Muslim women border staff who wear 'hibi jabis'

‘I understand that’ and ‘We’re looking at that'

Donald Trump has appeared to condone a woman’s racist comment that muslim women who work as border security staff and who wear "hibi jabis" should be fired.

During a question and answer session at a town hall event in New Hampshire, a woman asked him: “Why aren't we putting our military retirees on that border or in TSA? Get rid of all these hibi-jabis they wear at TSA? I’ve seen them myself.” “I understand that,” Mr Trump responded.

“By appearing to endorse the bigoted views of one of his supporters, Donald Trump is placing all American Muslim women who wear Islamic attire in danger,” said Robert McCaw, the government affairs director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR has reported an “unprecedented spike” in anti-Muslim incidents since the terrorist attacks in November and the San Bernardino shootings in December 2015. “American Muslims, and particularly Muslim women, are facing an unprecedented spike in discrimination and hate attacks, due in no small part to Donald Trump's Islamophobic rhetoric and policy proposals,“ he added.

Donald Trump has repeatedly pledged to help retired military veterans, so here is a great opportunity to honor his pledge to these hero's.www.independent.co.uk... aff-who-wear-hibi-a7114656.html

Trump has been a lifelong liberal. In addition, he isnt a fan of Mexicans, Moslems and China.

Other than that, he doesnt know what to say or think.

A revised statement will be released tomorrow after hes been instructed on how he should have responded.

A typical democrat comment from a democrat supporter.......

so, what`s wrong with that? oh that`s right a muslim would never lie and claim to be loyal to a country and then strap a bomb to themselves and blow up innocent people. pffft

That's pretty low to take away somebodies "Jobi-Jobi" just because they wear a "Hibi-Jabi"!!

I thought Trumps whole deal was about bring back more "Jobi-Jobi's" from overseas not remove them from those who have one.

Having played halo O know what a jabi is but what is a habi jabi. Though calling TSA jabis is kind of appropriate.

Now about this thread Trump said no such thing the article makes an asumption as to what he meant. What he said was to the question of why isn't veterans given preferential treatment for jobs such as the TSA. This isn't the first time I heard this and people think veterans would fit this role perfectly. By thr way there are Muslims in the military. I guess the propaganda rag doesn't realize this.

What?!?!?!? Does that mean No Capes too????

Damn!!! I just had a new one made with my Logo on it and everything.

The woman asking the question(s) during his appearance were in context about verterans taking positions in the TSA/Border Patrol.

The woman's pejorative remarks, I do not see as possibly condoned by Trump....he was agreeing to the context of the question(s). Not to her comment.

A pejorative is a word expressing a negative connotation,or a low opinion, i cannot see giving jobs to ex-military is considered as LOW!!

I saw the video clip. He is saying he's looking into hiring more veterans.
The old lady was the one making the comment about Muslim clothing and getting them out of there to hire retired veterans.
But he did say we're looking into it right on the tail of her comment so I see how that is spun in this way.
I hate that man and I hate having to defend him but in this case it is wrong.

Are you saying that border staff workers need to be naked then? Interesting!

He should have dismissed her bigoted comments.

He did not.
