Donald Trump Says He'll Consider Replacing Hijab-Wearing TSA Agents With Veterans

By CANDACE SMITH - Jul 1, 2016, 3:13 AM ET

Donald Trump unwittingly waded once again into familiar territory Thursday: controversy, stemming from comments involving the Muslim faith.

During a question-and-answer session following a trade policy-themed town hall event in Manchester, New Hampshire, audience member Cathie Chevalier asked, "Why aren’t we putting our military retirees on that border or in TSA? Get rid of all these hibi-jabis they wear at TSA?"

Chevalier, the past state president of the New Hampshire Ladies Auxiliary Veterans of Foreign Wars, was referring to a hijab, the headscarf some Muslim women wear.

"I understand," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee responded.

1. Just make sure you don't hire any Muslim veterans.

Right?

3. No, he's looking into ones wearing hibbie jobbies

4. That woman's comment was beyond offensive.

I first heard it on Morning Joe, and after it played they all looked at each other very uncomfortably and asked, "What did that mean? Does anybody know?"

REALLY????

5. He reaffirms the validity of the most Islamaphobic and bigoted questionings. I hope that is not

encouraging more of the same thinking but I fear it is.

[Darb]

6. I fly a decent amount, never once seen a hibbie jobbie.

Or a hijab.

[Glassunion]

8. I have... The Hijab anyway...

However I can say with 100% certainty that I've never seen a Hibbie Jobbie at an airport... County fair, yes... Airport, no.

7. I haven't seen the video

but I swear that it is probably my (crazy old lady) neighbor asking questions about Hibi-Jabbies...

9. He should wear two, to cover that critter on his head.

10. How ignorant and sheltered do you have to be to think that the TSA is...

...staffed most by Muslims?
