Despite her agreement that "strong vetting" was necessary, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton early Mondayaccused Donald Trump of inspiring acts of terrorism through his rhetoric, saying her GOP rival is turning the fight against terror into a religious war with Islam that threatens U.S. safety.
Speaking at a press conference to address the blasts in the New York area over the weekend, The Hill reports Clinton was asked (a rather softball question) whether sympathizers of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Russia are looking to sow chaos that might influence the presidential campaign.
“We know that a lot of rhetoric we’ve heard from Donald Trump has been seized on by terrorists, in particular ISIS, because they’re looking to make this into a war against Islam rather than a war against jihadists. Violent terrorists, people whose number in the tens of thousands, not tens of millions, they want to use that to recruit more fighters to turn this into a religious conflict,” Clinton responded.
“That’s why I’ve been very clear: We’re going after the bad guys and we’re going to get them, but we’re not going after an entire religion and give the terrorists exactly what its wanting in order for them to enhance their position,” she added. “Second, we know Donald Trump’s comments have been used online in recruitment for terrorists.”
Clinton pointed to remarks from former CIA Director Michael Hayden and Matt Olsen, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who have accused Trump of giving terrorists recruitment material by calling for a blanket ban on Muslims entering the country.

Everything she says is a lie. She's lied her whole life and has like obama done nothing positive their entire lying lives. Again the only thing worse then the both of them are the filth who votes for them thereby enabling them. This is why the democrat strongholds like the inner cities are urban war zones. God will not bless those who follow and idolize those who follow the doctrine of satan and that is exactly what you are doing if you are a democrat. And don't fool yourself for one second. You are not a Christian if you are a democrat. God has already set aside a special place in hell for those democrats who profess (lie) to be Christians.
