Tuesday in High Point, NC, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said his opponent Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton talked “tougher about my supporters than she does about Islamic terrorists.”
Trump said,” The United States defeated fascism, Nazism and communism. Now we must defeat radical Islamic terrorism. Yet my opponent won’t even say the words radical Islamic terror. In fact Hillary Clinton talks tougher about my supporters than she does about Islamic terrorists. She calls the patriotic Americans who support our campaign, many of them cops and soldiers, deplorable and irredeemable. Has she ever talked that way about radical Islam or those who oppose and murder women and gays overseas? No. Has Hillary Clinton ever called people who support these practices deplorable or irredeemable? No. In many countries overseas, nonbelievers face the death penalty.”
“Where is Hillary’s condemnation—where is it?” he continued. “Where is her condemnation of these people? Where is her condemnation of these countries? Let’s ask Hillary how many people who subscribe to radical Islamic views and support the oppression of nonbelievers would you call deplorable or irredeemable. Are those words reserved for only hard working Americans who truly support us and truly love our country? It seems that way. America can never elect a president like Hillary Clinton who apparently, with her choice of words, thinks the decent American citizens are a bigger threat than radical Islam. Can’t do this. Anyone who cannot name our enemy is not fit to lead this country.”
