GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is firing back at President Obama — saying he has launched “a war” against Christians in America when he was questioned about a recent supporter at a town hall meeting who stated, prior to asking Trump a question, that President Obama was a Muslim.

The mainstream media has criticized Trump for not correcting the supporter to state Obama isn’t a Muslim.

The New York Times reports:

Mr. Trump sidestepped a question about not correcting the remark that Mr. Obama is a Muslim — “The bigger issue is that Obama is waging a war against Christians in this country,” he said. But he also said that Americans liked the fact that he did not react to things like voter anger and debate questions with the ordinary language of politicians.
