Trump, as Turban-Clad Protester Was Removed: ‘He Wasn’t Wearing One of Those Hats, Was He?’ (UPDATED)
(UPDATE: Based on the C-SPAN/MSNBC video below, it appears that Trump was talking about a Make America Great Again hat when he made the comment, and one of the protesters only happened to be wearing a turban.)
