Clinton says Trump’s Orlando response merely ‘bizarre rants’

“We have a President who wants to be so politically correct that he doesn’t want to use the term radical Islamic terrorism, doesn’t want to use it”, said Trump, who is known for his anti-Muslim rhetoric.

Later, Trump said, “The level of anger, that’s the kind of anger he should have for the shooter and these killers that shouldn’t be here”.

In the aftermath of the Orlando shooting, Donald Trump attacked Hillary Clinton saying she was “no friend of LGBT Americans”.

Clinton, who will face Trump in the November election, quickly challenged Republicans to either “stand up to their presumptive nominee” or “stand by his accusation about our president”.

The comments come after Omar Mateen, a U.S. citizen of Afghan descent from Port St. Lucie, Florida, stormed the Pulse Club in Orlando on Sunday, killing 49 people and injuring 53 others at the gay club, marking the worst ever mass shooting in U.S. history.

It may be easy to overstate the nature of Republican divisions, because when push comes to shove, folks like Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and others will vote for Trump and remain loyal partisan soldiers.

For Republican lawmakers, there’s no avoiding reporters in the Capitol, and no escaping controversy brought on by the presumptive presidential nominee.

Clinton, echoing the president, said on Wednesday that there were “no magic words” to resolve the threat of terrorism. So not one of Donald Trump’s reckless ideas would have saved a single life in Orlando. “By targeting us in one way or another, this really doesn’t make sense and is not going to work, but we’ll keep doing it. This isn’t going to mean there’s no coverage – in fact, it’s going to mean there’s more coverage”.

68-year-old Clinton said it is apparent that Donald Trump does not seem to grasp any of the issues. An ongoing feud between Trump and Warren gained steam on social media with a series of posts in which she labeled the former reality television show host racist, sexist and xenophobic. The difference is that calling these terrorists what they are – radical Islamists – would be reassuring to those Americans who have doubts about Obama’s proficiency as commander in chief.

Within hours of the attack, while victims underwent lifesaving operations and law enforcement removed the bodies of the slain from the nightclub, Trump congratulated himself on Twitter: “Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism”.

“They need to round them up and let them get out of the country”, said Lance Shafley (61) of Liberty, North Carolina. Obama said. “Are we going to start treating all Muslim-Americans differently?” Sanders’ mere mention of her name at rallies often elicited boos from the crowd and a quick endorsement might make them feel as if he simply capitulated to Clinton without getting anything in return. “Not once has an adviser of mine said, ‘Man, if use that phrase, we’re going to turn this whole thing around”, said Obama in a mocking tone.

Clinton also redoubled her support for the Muslim communities both at home and overseas that have been under sustained assault by Trump.

Prominent Republicans this week distanced themselves from Trump’s comments about Muslims.
