President Obama has taken aim at presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump over Trump’s vow to ban Muslims from entering the United States. Following the Orlando attacks, Trump expanded his call for a ban, saying he would apply it to any country with a history of terrorism against the U.S. and its allies. The Orlando shooter was born in New York City. Speaking Tuesday, President Obama blasted Trump’s remarks.
President Barack Obama: “We hear language that singles out immigrants and suggests entire religious communities are complicit in violence. Where does this stop? The Orlando killer, one of the San Bernardino killers, the Fort Hood killer, they were all U.S. citizens. Are we going to start treating all Muslim Americans differently?”
