Obama Admits THIS About His Muslim Faith, Trump Was Absolutely Right [VIDEO] Over the past week, Donald Trump has been criticized left and right for neglecting to defend President Obama when an audience member accused him of being a Muslim. Now, a video has surfaced that is reminding the public just why we questioned Barack Obama in the first place. Before he was elected president, Obama was captured in an interview with George Stephanopoulos referring to his Muslim faith. Shortly after his comments were made he was corrected by the ABC anchor. Flustered, he backtracks and says Christian faith.
