Following up on President Obama’s news statement earlier, Hillary Clinton blasts Trump for insinuating that PBO is somehow in league with ISIS, dispenses with the semantic stupidity around “radical Islam” and reaffirms the need to partner with Muslims at home and abroad:
Excerpts, again via Buzzfeed:
Her speech here, however, came as a full-scale rebuttal to the GOP nominee and his inflammatory remarks and false statements in the days after Orlando.
She dismissed his campaign as full of “conspiracy theories” and “pathological self-congratulations,” and tore through the national security address he delivered on Monday in New Hampshire as filled with “bizarre rants” and “outright lies.”
Clinton also reminded voters that Trump led the birther movement against Obama (“I guess he had to be reminded Hawaii is part of the United States”), and more recently cast doubt on an Indiana-born federal judge because of his Mexican heritage (“I guess he has to be reminded Indiana is in the United States”).
I’m so glad she raised the birther issue again since that is another overtly racist campaign he undertook that mirrors his more recent rants against Judge Curiel, and Trump should have to answer for it.
She also riffed on the “radical Islam” talismanic words idiocy, echoing Obama in saying that deeds matter more than words and reiterating how stupid it is to declare war on an entire religion. Bottom line, Trump is an ISIS stooge whose actions are playing right into the terrorists’ hands and is therefore unfit to lead. Huzzah!
PS: The video cuts off before the speech ends, but it’s the only one I could find. Sorry!
