http://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/13/politics/donald-trump-60-minutes-first-interview/index.html Donald Trump on Sunday told his supporters to stop harassing minorities, in his first televised sit-down interview since becoming President-elect. "I am so saddened to hear that," Trump told CBS' Lesley Stahl on "60 Minutes" when she said Latinos and Muslims are facing harassment. "And I say, 'Stop it.' If it -- if it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: 'Stop it.'" Trump directed his comments to his own supporters whom Stahl said have written racist slogans or chanted degrading messages -- particularly in schools. "I would say don't do it, that's terrible, because I'm going to bring this country together," Trump said. Waiting for Hillary to tell her supporters to behave themselves too! Proud of Trump. And THIS below is also awesome. A Muslim Trump Supporter explains why she supports the party that is gonna be tougher on Islamic Terrorism. This is actually how good Muslims should react. Stop actively opposing measures to stamp out Islamic Terrorism and accusing it of being racist. I am always suspicious of Muslims who throws out racism at any measures implemented to keep people safe. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/11/13/muslim-immigrant-explains-why-voted-for-trump.html A Muslim woman said Sunday that her viral article explaining why she voted for Donald Trump has angered her liberal pals as well as other Muslims. Asra Nomani declared herself one of President-elect Donald Trump’s silent supporters in an opinion piece she wrote in the Washington Post Thursday called "I'm a Muslim, a woman and an immigrant. I voted for Trump." “As you can tell I don’t have horns on my head, right, but nonetheless I am now being characterized as a traitor, to my own liberals as an idiot, names that I can’t even repeat on air,” she told "Fox & Friends." The former Wall Street Journal reporter also said fellow Muslims have told her they hope Allah sends her “to the gates of hell.” “But you know none of that matters to me because I’m getting more responses than in my 30 years in journalism from people who are saying, ‘Thank you,’ because they too are fed up with the polarization,” she said. The 51-year-old woman wrote in the Post that she voted for President Obama in 2008 and 2012, but she became a Trump voter over the issue of Islamic terrorism. “As a liberal Muslim who has experienced, first-hand Islamic extremism in this world, I have been opposed to the decision by President Obama and the Democratic Party to tap dance around the ‘Islam’ in Islamic State,” she wrote. Nomani told "Fox & Friends" she knows Trump is not an Islamaphobic or a racist or a bigot. “He is insensitive at times with what he says and his proposals are tough, but they reflect a reality of concern people have about an issue that’s killing people from Orlando to Paris,” she said.
