Donald Trump Under Cyber Attack Over His Hate Speech Against Muslims
The figure warned that Trump’s call could set unsafe policy that would “have a huge impact” and could be used by ISIS to recruit followers.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest has said the plan to ban an entire religion “disqualifies him from serving as president”, while Hillary Clinton told Seth Meyers on Thursday that Trump is no longer amusing, and reiterated he’s actually “dangerous.”
The second video issued by Anonymous in part of their #OpTrump efforts takes issue with another recent statement of Trump’s, in which he announced that he will, if elected to office of President of the United States, impose the death penalty on anyone who kills a police officer.
More Republicans favor his proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States than oppose it, according to a new poll from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal.
The group’s warning to Trump came days after the billionaire real estate tycoon proposed a “total and complete” ban on all Muslims entering the US. “Donald Trump, think twice before you say anything”. Twenty-nine per cent of Republicans, who will pick the party’s nominee for the November 2016 election, said they found Trump’s remarks offensive against 64 per cent who did not.
Republican U.S. Rep. Reid Ribble, of Wisconsin, has said he won’t support Trump if he’s the nominee. You know, I’m not one of these other guys that goes down.
Trump’s proposal to keep Muslims out of the US has been met with outrage from members of both parties.
Still, in a sign of how Trump’s rhetoric has polarised the electorate, 72 per cent of Democrats and 47 per cent of voters overall said they were offended by Trump’s comments. But the poll also suggested Trump’s position isn’t going to hurt him in the GOP primary. On its #OpParis Twitter account in mid-November, the hacktivists claimed they took down 5,500 pro-ISIS Twitter accounts.
