Donald Trump doubled down as he defended his lack of a response when a supporter said the United States has a Muslim problem. Trump told CNN the country does have a Muslim problem.
"Are you trying to say we don't have a problem?" Trump asked CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday's "State of the Union."
Trump has been criticized for not telling the man who asked a question at a rally in New Hampshire on Thursday.
"We certainly do have a problem, you have a problem throughout the world," Trump told Tapper. "We have radicals who are doing things. It wasn't people from Sweden who blew up the World Trade Center."
The GOP frontrunner, however, said the problem is not all Muslims. "I have tremendous people I know that are Muslims, they are wonderful people, they are fabulous people."
It's the "extremist Muslims who are in a class by themselves," Trump said.
