On Wednesday, the Republican nominee was in Iowa where he was receiving the endorsement of a Christian Conservative group.

During the speech he asked members of the group to raise their hands if they were Christian Conservatives, to which he received a big cheer from the audience.

Following that he asked those who were not members of the group to raise their hands.

“Raise your hand if you’re not a Christian conservative. I want to see this, right? Oh there’s a couple people, that’s all right.

"“I think we’ll keep them, right? Should we keep them in the room, yes? I think so.”

This sparked a bit of backlash from the online community with Trump being branded as "deplorable" for asking the question.

Did Trump raise his hand or do people really believe he's a Christian conservative? https://t.co/851QLBuLT2 — meta (@metaquest) September 29, 2016

Donald Trump takes attendance like a classroom: "Raise your hand if you're not a Christian conservative" #whereyaat https://t.co/4sjWNDStbm — Deena Zeina Zaru 👩🏻‍💻 (@Deena_Zaru) September 29, 2016

I notice Trump did not raise his hand. Probably because he is not Christian and barely a conservative. — Garic Goblinhewer (@HistoryDwarf) September 29, 2016
