Video: Trump Asks if Muslims Will Get Special Treatment in Coronavirus Lockdowns – “The Christian Faith Is Treated Very Unfairly” April 19, 2020 Alex D.
Earlier on Saturday President Trump retweeted reporter Paul Sperry’s tweet on Ramadan and social distancing in the Muslim community.
Paul Sperry tweeted: Let’s see if authorities enforce the social-distancing orders for mosques during Ramadan (April 23-May 23) like they did churches during Easter.
President Trump re-tweeted this and the left had enough reasons to accuse President Trump of being Islamophobic.
One female reporter asked President Trump about his Sperry retweet at the daily coronavirus press conference.
Partial transcript:
REPORTER: I want to ask you about one of your retweets from Paul Sperry:“Let’s see if authorities enforce the social distancing orders for mosques during Ramadan like they did churches during Easter”
TRUMP:I would be interested to see that b/c they go after Christian churches but they don’t tend to go after mosques. Our politicians seem to treat different faiths very differently. I don’t know what happened with our country, but the Christian faith is treated much differently than it was, and I think it’s treated very unfairly.”
“You know I just spoke with leaders and people that love mosques,” he continued. “They love mosques! And I’m all in favor of that. But I would say that there could be a difference. And we’ll have to see what will happen. Because I have seen a great disparity in this country.

Trump asked about Social Distancing Enforcement at places of Worship:
“It matters not what your faith is, but our politicians seem to treat different faiths very differently.”
“The Christian Faith is treated much differently than it was, and I think it’s treated very unfairly.”
Everyone knows for some reason, mosques are not treated the same way as churches are unfairly treated by the authorities. They come down hard on churches in ways they’d never do to a mosque. Nobody says it out loud though…nobody but Trump
