President Barack Obama noted Wednesday while speaking at the Islamic Society of Baltimore that the rumors about him being a secret Muslim were leveled against one of the country’s founders, too.
“Thomas Jefferson’s opponents tried to stir things up by suggesting he was a Muslim. So I was not the first,” Obama said, trailing off to laughter.
“No, it’s true. Look it up,” he said. “I’m in good company.”
The event marked the first time he visited a U.S. mosque while in office. Obama assured American Muslims that they should feel appreciated in the country regardless of the heated rhetoric directed at them by some Republican presidential candidates.
Trump: This is offensive. There are no white muslims. Terrorists and rapists are always non white.
Obviously the guy hates Jesus,ponies,cute little kitty cats,and America.
Wow.
I didn’t know there were baggers around in the old days.
I love this man.
I hope PBO said that being called a muslim was not the slur to him his attackers intended it to be.
