Donald Trump says he believes the mother and sister of Syed Farook, one of the alleged shooters in the San Bernardino massacre, knew that a terror attack was being planned.
"I believe the that the sister of the killer, I watched her interview, I think she knew what was going on," Trump told reporters after a speech in Iowa on Saturday. "I think his mother knew what was going on."
The GOP front-runner said the family members had been in the apartment of the alleged attackers, which authorities said contained thousands of rounds of ammunition, 12 pipe bombs and materials to make several improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
"She went into the apartment," Trump said of Farook's mother. "Anybody that went in to that house or that apartment knew what was going on. They didn't tell authorities. They knew what was going on. The mother knew.
"I think the sister interviewed, I think she knew," he added. "We better get a little tough, and a little smart, or we're in trouble."
Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, are suspected of killing 14 people and wounding 21 at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, Calif., on Wednesday.
Authorities said Malik pledged her allegiance to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) during the attack.
Trump called the couple " chick s--t" earlier at the Iowa rally.
The FBI is investigating it as an " act of terror," but the lawyers representing the Farook family pushed back on the characterization on Friday, describing Malik as a " typical housewife."
Farook's brother is a decorated Navy veteran who received several commendations for his role in the war on terror.
The suspect's brother-in-law said he was " in shock" after the attack.
The landlord of Farook's apartment also said he had never suspected the couple of being terrorists.
President Obama will deliver a rare address from the Oval Office on Sunday at 8:00 p.m. discussing the San Bernardino attack and the broader terror threat to the U.S.
Heck See-AIR and Saudi Arabia likely knew and approved...
Trump/Calvo w/Cruz AG
As Ann Coulter has said, “Deport them”
Deport them to Russia and Putin will get the truth
Will the Republicans be given air time to respond?
Trump should have kept his mouth shut about this. Whether or not he was right, he gained nothing by commenting.
SA “just” supplies the finances. Probably doesn’t get itself involved in the details.
CAIR, I wouldn’t be surprised to find their involvement runs much deeper.
What’s the deal with the brother being a decorated veteran. That’s always thrown in when it suits the media.
If a cop dies at the hands of a black kid, they wont mention his past.
when he dies at the hands of a PP attacker, they mention the military service. Also, in cases like this one.
I’d guess that the Chicklette was SA funded.
I say feed them to the wood chipper ! Its what they would do in Russia.
We need to kill terrorists and make sure they know we will hunt down and kill every member of their family as well.
Good guess.
Trump shut up? Not going to happen. This is about saying things people believe, just based on the facts we do know and common experience.
“Trump should have kept his mouth shut about this. Whether or not he was right, he gained nothing by commenting.”
We’ve been hearing this since June.
He’s saying what everyone’s thinking. But we’ve been brainwashed by the thought police for too long now.
Trump is suggesting that the so-called moderate Muslims better think twice about not turning in the radicals. On the other side of the coin we’ll probably need a large muzzie snitch protection program.
Why....of course they knew...
Sure bet he doesn't mention radical Islam but does allude to the need for more gun control.
Ex. order on gun control?
I agree with Trump, and furthermore I believe that all immediate relatives of those who commit terrorist acts whether they are immigrants or US citizens, all immediate relatives should be deported permanently from the United States. With all of their holdings and asset C and proceeds from the seizure donated to the families of the victims of their relatives. this deportation of relatives of those who commit terrorism should apply evenly regardless of age gender or length of time as immigrants to the United States. Does that have US citizenship should have their US citizenship permanently revoked upon deportation. There should be no appeal possible do such anti-terrorism action. the deportation should be possible if the subject are not willing to leave voluntarily. this is the way to deal with terrorism in America, closet to have a cost to great to bear, by the entire families of those who are affected
Like Trump, I can't believe that the family members didn't know or suspect anything at all.
