Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump alleged that his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton talks tougher about his supporters than she does about Islamic State terrorists.
“In the 20th century, the United States defeated fascism, Nazism and communism. Now we must defeat radical Islamic terrorism. The President of the US or my opponent — and both — won’t even say the words radical Islamic terror,” Trump alleged at an election rally in Florida, a key battel ground State.
“In fact, Hillary Clinton talks tougher about my supporters than she does about Islamic terrorists, rightIJ She calls the patriotic Americans who support our campaign, many of them cops and soldiers, deplorable and irredeemable, and she means it. Millions and millions of people. Has she ever talked that way about radical IslamIJ No,” he said.
“Has Hillary Clinton ever called people who support these practices deplorable and irredeemableIJ No. In many countries overseas, non-believers face the death penalty. Where is Hillary’s condemnation thereIJ There is no condemnation.
“let’s ask Hillary Clinton, how many people who subscribe to radical Islamic views and support the oppression of non-believers would you call deplorable or irredeemable, or are those words reserved only for hardworking Americans that truly love our country and they want to make a statementIJ” he asked.
