Chris Hayes Wonders Whether Guy Who Told Trump Obama a Muslim Was a Plant

Maybe next week, Chris Hayes will share his views on Area 51, whether fire can melt steel, and if the moon landing happened in a Hollywood studio . . .

On his MSNBC show this evening, Hayes floated the notion that the guy at a New Hampshire town hall who told Donald Trump that President Obama is a Muslim might have been a plant. According to Chris, although the moment seemed to have happened "organically"  [yes, but was it free range?], "who knows?" Proclaimed Chris: "until they find the guy I'm going to reserve judgment on the origins of the question."

DAVE WEIGEL:  I don't think it's been that bad for him. He changed the conversation once again from Carly Fiorina. 

CHRIS HAYES: It is amazing, right? Here's this moment that happened I think organically, although who knows? They haven't found the guy -- 

WEIGEL: He did say he likes the guy. But he says that of a lot of people. 

HAYES: Until they find this guy, there's some little part of me that says it just felt so theatrical. Until they find the guy I'm going to reserve judgment on the origins of the question.
