The questioner continued: “We have training camps growing where they want to kill us”.
“And he should have from the beginning repudiated that kind of rhetoric, that level of hatefulness in a questioner in an audience that he was appearing before”, she said.
“That’s my question: When can we get rid of them?”
Trump did not dispute the man’s assertion and said he’d heard others raise the issue. “We’re going to be looking a lot of different things”.
Trump’s steadfast refusal to apologize for his controversial antics may be the most striking thing about him.
Earnest broadens his critique beyond Trump to fault all the Republican candidates for not denouncing what he calls Trump’s “cynical strategy”.

He called our President a Muslim, which is not true; note, however, that he did not call Obama a Muslim and a terrorist, because it is safe to assume that in his mind, every Muslim is a terrorist.
BOSTON (AP) – A mother was arrested and her boyfriend was charged with murder in the death of a little girl whose body was found inside a trash bag on a Boston Harbor island this summer and who became known as Baby Doe, a prosecutor said Friday after a monthslong campaign to learn the girl’s identity. In fact, he is Christian. “His problem isn’t that he was born here or what his religion is, his problem is that he tears down anyone that disagrees with him“, Bush said. Self-serving defenses of Muslims and Obama by disingenuous hypocrites like Chris Christie will not only seal his fate with the Republican electorate, but will deep-six other candidates if they do not finally deal with these big elephant issues in their room. It aims to cut student loan rates, reduce the cost of four-year public schools and make two-year community colleges tuition-free, as President Barack Obama has proposed.
