Anonymous attacks Trump Towers website
The hacking group said it is turning its focus to the leading Republican presidential candidate after he said all Muslims entering the United States should be banned.
“I no longer think he is amusing”, she said of the GOP presidential front-runner on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Myers”.
Clinton said the real estate mogul’s recent call to bar Muslims from entering the United States is not only “shameful and wrong” but “dangerous”.
The group says the reason for targeting Trump’s website was due to his anti-Muslim hate speech a couple of days ago.
The majority of respondents-57%-said they were not happy with Trump’s plans to ban Muslims from the United States, but 25% supported it. Among Republicans, the responses were split: 39% against the ban and 38% in favor. Less than a week later, Anonymous used an age-old internet prank and “Rick-rolled” ISIS, posting links on social media accounts connected to Rick Astley’s 1987 music video of “Never Gonna Give You Up”.
Trump’s divisive, unconstitutional comments come in the wake of a shooting in San Bernadino that killed 14, which was believed to be the first act of terror claimed by ISIS on American soil.
Hillary Clinton has a message for Donald Trump after he publicly stated that we need to close our borders to all Muslims. You’ve gone too far. I’m proud to be your fellow American.
Anonymous has waged many “wars” against other groups.
“Now is the time for all of us – especially Republican leaders – to stand up to hateful, unsafe words and deeds”.
Despite wide criticism, including from most of his presidential rivals, the debate over Trump’s proposal has not substantially changed his standing with the public. That number completely flipped almost 11 years later, when growing Islamophobic rhetoric on the right led 70 percent of the Muslim-American electorate to vote or lean Democrat, while only 11 percent leaned toward the G.O.P. “We have never been strong by focusing on things created to divided us”.
Mayor Michael Nutter said he would ban Trump if he could and that his city doesn’t have any room for that kind of ignorance.
The comments drew fire and fury across nations and party lines, as Republican and Democratic figureheads alike criticized the candidate for his extremism.
