Hillary Clinton accused her Republican presidential rival Donald Trump of “becoming ISIS’ best recruiter” during Saturday’s Democratic debate in New Hampshire.
“We need to make sure that the really discriminatory messages that Trump is sending around the world don’t fall on receptive ears,” Clinton said. “He is becoming ISIS’s best recruiter. They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.”
The Democratic frontrunner argued that the best approach to combat terrorist groups like the Islamic State and prevent Islamophobia was to unite with Muslims and not resort to “bluster and bigotry.”
Trump has taken fire from both Republicans and Democrats for proposing a ban on Muslim immigrants and tourists visiting America in the wake of the recent terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, California and Paris, France.
If this is true, Hillary is doing a masterful job at setting up Trump. Trump can’t help himself, if he hasn’t already, he’ll tweet something stupid claiming this if false and then a couple days from now the video/proof will come out. That said, it will be up to the media to make sure Trump doesn’t brush it aside as he does every other stupid statement or lie he tells, but if this is true, well done Hillary.
I am so glad she called out Trump for his role as the new de facto recruiter-in-chief for ISIS. It’s an extremely important point.
She went to that twice. Hillary doesn’t do that if its not something she has prepped, which I am going to take that its probably definitely true.
The media is still fawning over the GOP…more of a horse race. So Trump will brush it aside and just make some other outlandish comment that the MSM will chase.
LOOK! A SQUIRREL!!
While making a big (and true) statement like that on national television
SHOULD make millions of people do a little soul searching about how
encouraging Trump’s wild rhetoric could actually get Americans killed…
it won’t. The kind of people saying “Me like Trump!” aren’t looking to
think any of this through.
She showed why Trump is dangerous.
Trump will say anything, meaning he has no values. He thinks other people see that, and don’t care, just like he doesn’t care.
The problem is these right-wing fanatics do care. They have purpose, right or wrong, good or bad. Trump’s lack of it puts the country at great risk.
