Hillary staffer stammers through defense of Clinton’s Trump/ISIS recruiters claim
Hillary Clinton largely looked past her Democratic rivals in Saturday night’s debate, instead repeatedly assailing the Republican field, led by Donald J Trump. “They are going to people showing videos of Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists”, she said.
“It’s pretty clear from what Hillary Clinton said last night that she thinks things are just fine”, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said. “She lies like insane about everything, whether it’s trips where she was being gunned down in a helicopter or an airplane”, Trump said.
For Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, that s enough to indicate that Trump is helping, not hurting, the jihadist group. Hillary’s not strong, Hillary’s weak, frankly’.
Fiorina, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co., is running in seventh place in polls of likely voters in Iowa, which will hold its first-in-the-nation caucuses February 1, and eighth in New Hampshire, which holds its primary February 9. But Clinton’s few public statements suggest that she might be friendlier to teachers unions than President Obama, who often antagonized unions with his competitive grant programs, support for charter schools, and push to evaluate teachers based in part on their students’ test scores.
“I don’t think the American people are that interested in this”, she said. In the event, Clinton is successfully attacked or maneuvered into making a mistake, either could be used by her Republican opponent in a general election.
“I think the fact checkers got her before the debate was over on that one”, Ryan said.
According to associate politics editor Marina Fang’s piece, “Hillary Clinton’s Claim That Donald Trump Is In ISIS Recruiting Videos Isn’t True”.
The Clinton campaign stood behind the charge that his anti-Muslim rhetoric was being used by ISIS as a recruitment tool. “And we also need to make sure that the really discriminatory messages that Trump is sending around the world don’t fall on receptive ears”.
‘Oh, I’ll go down that road, ‘ Trump replied, again saying that there were ‘plenty of people cheering, ‘ on 9/11, when Stephanopoulos, in particular, brought up that claim.
The “flowers and china” moment drew wide attention on social media – including criticism of the moderators for moving away from foreign and domestic policy issues to ask the question.
