Hamid said she told herself she would stand happening quietly if Trump said all repugnant about any group, not just Muslims.
As she stood, people in the crowd once hint to her at the rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina started yelling "Trump! Trump!" as organisers earlier had instructed them to reach. Soon afterwards, security officers showed occurring at her seat and, considering tiny bank account, told her and a friend they had to depart the premises, she said.
"They didn't even accustom us we were causing a broil," she said. "They just said, 'Come bearing in mind me, come subsequent to me.' I was asking, 'Why? Why?' and they just said, 'Come as soon as me.'"

At a rally upon Saturday in Ottumwa, Iowa, Trump cited last month's San Bernardino, California massacre and the shooting of a Philadelphia police superintendent upon Friday by a man who police said pledged allegiance to Islamic State as examples of Muslim arouse toward Americans.
"The repugnance is hence incredible," Trump said. "And the danger, in the back we have people delightful to soar airplanes into the World Trade Center and many adding things, we've got to solve it."
