Obama’s blistering attack on Donald Trump over Muslim comments
The Washington Post wrote about it with the headline “Donald Trump seems to connect President Obama to Orlando shooting”.
“Where does this stop?”
Ms. Clinton said as President she would make sure that the law enforcement and intelligence professionals had all the resources they needed.
So after Trump’s comments, LGBT people came out on social media under #AskTheGays to say exactly what they thought about The Donald and the results were pretty hilarious. If we want to protect the quality of life for all Americans – women, children, gay and straight, Jews and Christians, then we need to tell the truth about radical Islam and we need to do it now. Because that’s not the America we want. But they have also triggered condemnation from minority and human rights activists and his political opponents, many of whom have called his rhetoric racist.
Dismayed Republicans scrambled for cover Tuesday from Trump’s inflammatory response to the Orlando massacre.
When asked about the interpersonal traits of both candidates, Clinton and Trump scored similarly. They were almost as unsparing as the Democrats in their criticism of his boundary-pushing response to the killings. In any event, the fact (assuming this CBS poll is representative) most Americans’ first instinct is to side with Obama’s view of terrorism rather than Trump’s is discouraging. I find that highly offensive. Lindsey Graham of SC.
“We can call it radical jihadism, we can call it radical Islamism”, Clinton said on CNN’s “New Day”. It won’t make us more safe.
He also suggested that US Muslims were complicit in domestic attacks because they failed to “turn in the people who they know are bad”.
“We hear language that singles out immigrants and suggests entire religious communities are complicit in violence”, Obama said. “Even in a time of divided politics, this is way beyond anything that should be said by someone running for president”.
But it is not just Trump’s comments that are taking a toll on the poll numbers.
He said: “If he came here, I’d accept him”.
“Look, we’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind….” “There’s something going on”.
There are two relevant exchanges from June 13, starting with a phone interview Trump did with talk show Fox and Friends.
On Tuesday, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who has endorsed Trump, once again clearly spoke out against Trump’s major campaign plank.
Trump made the call for the broader ban even though the Orlando shooter, Omar Mateen, was, like Trump, born in New York City. “Let’s see how much she uses it”, he said.
