Watch | Donald Trump’s shocking response to Muslim hate remark on Obama

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was asked at an election event on September 18 by a questioner whether Obama was an American? Also, what Trump would do to get rid of Muslims. As the question was being asked, Trump — who has questioned whether Obama was born in the US — laughed and interjected, “We need this question. This is the first question.” Trump then responded by saying: “A lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. We're going to be looking at that and a lot of different things.”
