Chris Hayes interviews Ahmed Mohamed, the 14 year-old Muslim student who was accused of bomb-making but in reality, built a homemade clock. Hayes asks Ahmed what he thought about the outpouring of support, and here’s the young teen’s eloquent reply:
“I feel really well after, because before I didn’t think I was going to get any support because I’m a Muslim boy. So I thought I was just going to be another victim of injustice. But thanks to all my supporters on social media, I got this far, thanks to you guys. I see it as a way of people sending a message to the rest of the world that just because something happens to you because of who you are, no matter what you do, people will always have your back.”
