In a statement released after three potential terror attacks this weekend, Donald Trump’s campaign on Monday accused the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton of “diminishing the threat” posed by the Islamic State.
“When the White House says we are in a ‘narrative fight’ against ISIS just days after a series of apparent terror attacks on U.S. soil we should all be very concerned,” spokesman Jason Miller said in the statement, describing it as “diminishing the threat” posed by terrorist attacks and providing “another reminder that we need new leadership in the fight against radical Islamic terrorism.”
The statement goes on to attack Hillary Clinton for backing President Barack Obama’s “failed ISIS strategy to the hilt,” and demands to know whether she agrees with the White House’s description.
Over the weekend, a bomb injured 29 in Manhattan, explosive devices were discovered in Seaside Park and Elizabeth, New Jersey, and nine people were stabbed in an attack at a St. Cloud, Minnesota mall.
Hillary Clinton issued a statement on Sunday condemning the “apparent terrorist attacks” and calling for “resolve over fear.”

“When the White House says we are in a ‘narrative fight’ against ISIS just days after a series of apparent terror attacks on U.S. soil we should all be very concerned. For the U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria who are on the front lines against ISIS, it’s a real fight where we’ve lost real lives. Diminishing the threat the Obama Administration has allowed to materialize on its watch puts us all at risk and is another reminder that we need new leadership in the fight against radical Islamic terrorism. Hillary Clinton has backed President Obama’s failed ISIS strategy to the hilt, and voters should know whether she too shares the White House’s troubling assessment of the situation.” – Jason Miller, Senior Communications Advisor

Oh, FFS, of course he did.
He also blames them for the sun rising in the east, the rain in Spain, little green apples, the Civil War, the Middle Ages, and, lest we forget, the fall of the Roman Empire…
You know, “SOME SAY” (or the ubiquitous “I HEARD” or “I SAW ON THE INTERNET”) that these bombs are “false flag” attacks by Trump Supporters to drum up support for him among the cowardly sheep.
And my crazy Uncle already sent me a Facebook post that proves, PROVES I TELL YOU! that it was all done on the direct orders of Hillary Clinton in support of ISIS by her Gay, Nubian, UN, FEMA shock troops working for ACORN!!!
I would like to offer a careful, measured response to this nonsense; GO FUCK YOURSELF. Sorry, my anger overcame my natural politeness. In the immortal words of Daffy Duck, “You’re despicable!”
The only way I can win is by appealing to racists, bigots, xenophobes and scaring the rest into voting for me.
