Hillary Clinton Says Donald Trump’s Rhetoric Is Aiding ISIS

HeadlineSep 20, 2016

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, took aim at Donald Trump, saying his rhetoric was helping non-state terrorist groups.

Hillary Clinton: “We know that a lot of the rhetoric we’ve heard from Donald Trump has been seized on by terrorists—in particular, ISIS—because they are looking to make this into a war against Islam, rather than a war against jihadists, violent terrorists, people who number in the maybe tens of thousands, not the tens of millions. They want to use that to recruit more fighters to their cause by turning it into a religious conflict.”

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham called for Rahami to be treated as an “enemy combatant” and placed in indefinite military custody rather than be treated as a civilian suspect.
