Hillary Clinton to propose expanded ‘Buffett rule’ for taxing wealthy

“Bluster and bigotry are not credentials for becoming commander in chief”.

“The tech community and government have to stop seeing each other as adversaries and start working together to keep us safe from terrorists”, she said.

Hillary Clinton laid out a five-part plan to combat the growing threat of domestic radicalization in the United States on Tuesday and reiterated her commitment to fighting, and defeating, the Islamic State.

At the heart of Clinton’s strategy is shutting down the online recruiting and training systems used by ISIS, through stepped up intelligence sharing and careful scrutinizing of social media, and the prevention of potential jihadists from traveling to the United States.

“She doesn’t know, and refused to recognize or wasn’t aware that the majority of Minnesota Muslims do not support the USA attorney’s program”, he said.

She also sought to directly link gun-control reform to counter-terrorism efforts, renewing her call for universal background checks, a limit on high-capacity magazines and a ban on assault weapons.

But Republicans view Obama’s handling of foreign policy and terrorism as a weakness and have tried to link Clinton to the president’s record, arguing that his policies in the Middle East allowed terrorist groups to flourish since the drawdown of troops in Iraq. “We can not let fear push us into reckless actions that end up making us less safe”, Clinton said.

“These Americans may be our first, last and best defense against homegrown radicalization and terrorism”, the former secretary of state said.

“The truth is many of those candidates have also said disgraceful things about Muslims”, she said.

The Democratic presidential frontrunner invoked an unlikely figure to make the point.

Buffett “has tremendous credibility in the left and really reassures the left about her economic orientation”, said Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster.

“Republicans say gun control is a separate issue”, she said.

But Clinton, who has run for president before and lost Minnesota to Barack Obama by a 2-to-1 margin in 2008, took a tack most presidential candidates avoid when visiting the hinterlands. “I think we should make it harder for them from to do that”.

Weaver’s comments are telling because they are partly aimed at seniors, a group the poll said were lining up for Clinton.

In recent weeks, Clinton has implored Congress to pass an updated authorization to use military force, stressing that the “time for delay is over”.

“Waging and winning the fight against ISIS will require serious leadership”, she later added in a post to Facebook. Just last week, a ninth Minnesota man was arrested on a charge of conspiring to provide material support to IS. The community is a target for militant networks – including al-Shabab in Somalia and, more recently, the Islamic State group, according to authorities and community members.

The Democratic presidential leader pledged to “empower our Muslim-American communities who are on the front lines of the fight against radicalization”, during her address at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. But she also seemed to be testing a slogan of her own in this new phase of the campaign, where the issue of terrorism is overriding all others.
