Donald Trump’s defense against criticism of his non-reaction to the birther nimrod at his town hall audience?
“I didn’t say anything.”
Well, Mr. Trump. That is precisely the point of the criticism that’s come your way.
The guy stood up and said President Obama wasn’t born in this country, that he’s a Muslim and that the nation needs to get rid of “the problem,” which he said are Muslims.
Trump said the news networks — CNN, Fox, MSNBC — have been all over his backside in the past because he talked too much. Now that he’s kept his mouth shut, that’s cause for criticism. Trump doesn’t get it … he said.
Well, the Republican presidential candidate should have told that town hall birther that he is wrong about the president and that he is wrong to suggest we should “get rid” of millions of American citizens simply because they worship a particular faith.
No, Trump didn’t say anything.
He buttoned his lip at precisely the wrong moment.
