WASHINGTON: A turbaned Sikh man was forced out of Donald Trump’s rally in the US state of Iowa after he disrupted the Republican presidential frontrunner’s speech by displaying a banner that read ‘Stop Hate’.
A Sikh protester being told to leave the venue after he disrupted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s speech in Muscatine, Iowa, on Sunday.
The man, wearing a brightred turban, started his peaceful protest impromptu when Trump was addressing an impressive campaign rally on Sunday with his signature anti-Muslim speech. Soon, he was escorted out of the rally.
The protest started when Trump was speaking about the 9/11 terror attacks. “We have radical Islamic terror going on all over the place, all over the world, and we have a President that won’t say it,” he said.
“When planes fly into the World Trade Centre, and into the Pentagon, and wherever the third plane was going. When people are shooting their friends in California, when they’re shooting their friends,” Trump said.
As the Sikh raised his banner, he waved his hand and said ‘Bye. Bye. Goodbye’. “He wasn’t wearing one of those hats, was he? And he never will, and that’s OK because we got to do something folks because it’s not working,” Trump said as the sole Sikh protester was taken out of the rally amid chanting of “USA, USA, USA” by his supporters.
Trump is campaigning in Iowa ahead of next week’s crucial Caucus. Latest polls showed that he had taken a lead over his nearest Republican rival, Ted Cruz. The Iowa Caucus on February 1 is considered crucial as it would set the trend for the rest of the presidential primaries over the next few months.
