A Muslim woman was escorted out of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s rally in South Carolina on Friday after she stood up in silent protest.

Trump commented on Hamid as she was being ejected:
“There is hatred against us that is unbelievable. It’s their hatred, it’s not our hatred,” Trump said.

Trump has stoked antipathy against Muslims by calling for a total ban on Muslim immigration into the U.S. Since making the announcement Trump’s standing in the polls has only improved.

According to Hamid, one person shouted, “You have a bomb, you have a bomb,” CNN reported.

“The ugliness really came out fast and that’s really scary,” she told CNN after she was escorted out of the venue.

Hamid added that several people around her held her hand and said “sorry” as she was forced to leave.

Hamid told CNN before the event that she didn’t plan to disrupt the event, but wanted to give Trump’s supporters some insight as to what Muslims are like.
