Donald Trump Gets Called A 'Racist' During Campaign Stopover at Manchester's Red Arrow Diner
Donald Trump was called a "racist" by a young woman during his campaign stopover at Manchester, New Hampshire. The U.S. presidential candidate stopped by the famous Red Arrow Diner on Tuesday, where he was heckled by one of the customers.
Trump stopped by the diner after Monday's rally to enjoy a cheeseburger with fries, a bowl of deep-fried macaroni and cheese and a Diet Coke. However, the politician got more than just food during his stay at the diner. One of the customers called out Trump and said, "Enjoy your burger, racist!" before walking out of the restaurant.
The young woman later identified herself to ABC News as Jane but declined to reveal her last name. In a video interview shared by the news site, Jane revealed that she was surprised to see Trump at the diner. Trump normally limits his appearances to TV interviews and rallies. That's why the customer's surprise to see him at the diner is understandable.
Jane also voiced out her animosity towards the U.S. presidential candidate in her interview.
"I'm really struck by his racism and Islamophobia. I wanted to make sure people remembered that he is racist, and that he's using it to rally voters," she said when asked by a reporter outside the Red Arrow Diner.
Jane continued to fume outside the diner. When asked how her encounter with Trump felt like, Jane admitted that she was shaking. She said that it also made her cry.
"I did cry for a few seconds because it's hard being that close to someone who can make such a difference, but know that I wasn't able to say anything that could impact him," Jane told a reporter for ABC News.
According to Mail Online, Jane's outrage stemmed from Trump's presidential campaign against foreign residents in the U.S. The politician had previously rallied to support the building of a wall on the Mexican border to combat the illegal entry of Mexicans in the U.S.
Trump reportedly also called for the ban of Muslims from entering the U.S. following the series of terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California. Recently, Trump caught the attention of members of the Council on American-Islamic Relations after he asked for the removal of a Muslim woman who was silently protesting at his rally.
According to ABC News, his actions belied his previous statement when he said during an interview that he loves the Muslims and that he is "least racist."
