After Bombings, Hillary Clinton Says Donald Trump’s Words Enable Terrorists (NY Slimes Alert!)
The New York Slimes ^ | 09/18/2019 | Alexander Burns and Amy Chozik

Hillary Clinton accused Donald J. Trump on Monday of imperiling American national security with his campaign rhetoric, as Mr. Trump called for police profiling of people from the Muslim world in the aftermath of bombings in New York and New Jersey.

Just around the time the police were closing in on a suspect, Ahmad Khan Rahami — who was later taken into custody — Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump were split in their reactions to the attack in Manhattan on Saturday, which injured dozens. Both shifted into the mode of combat, with Mrs. Clinton stressing her national security credentials and measuring her words, and Mr. Trump sounding a note of furious alarm.

But the stakes for both candidates are likely higher now than they have ever been. With seven weeks left until the election and only a week before their first debate, their handling of a potential terrorism plot on American soil could leave a durable imprint on undecided voters.

Mrs. Clinton moved to take control of the debate with a cutting attack on Mr. Trump on Monday: At a morning news conference inside an airport hangar in rainy Westchester, she urged Americans to show “courage and vigilance,” and not to demonize Muslims or Americans of foreign origin.

And describing herself as the only candidate in the race with experience fighting terrorism, Mrs. Clinton charged that Mr. Trump had helped the Islamic State and other terror groups with his campaign oratory broadly denouncing Muslims.

Does she seriously believe this works with voters?

Keep talking Hillary - every time you say this, you just move more voters to Trump.

But importing these muslims from hotbeds of terrorism, unvetted, at the rate of 1000 a month isn’t a factor?

So she knows it’s safe to call some people “deplorables” but words about Muslims causes them to commit terror?

Donald Trump's political ascent can be directly attributed to the fact that nobody trusts their government to protect them anymore.

By the time we get to the election returns, the political landscape is going to be littered with the destroyed careers of a bunch of @ssholes -- Republicans and Democrats alike -- who finally got what was coming to them.

Illary has enabled Islamists at every turn. Remember when the father of the homophobic Muslim douchebag that killed 50 in Orlando showed up right behind Illary at a rally just several months later? That was her way of telling jihadists “I have your back.”

Treasonous bitch.

Yes, she thinks this works with voters. It has in the past, and now even 50% +/- are still swallowing her stuff.

So, when Trump denounces terrorists, it makes them want to be terrorists even more. But when Colin Kaepernick denounces oppressors, he's brave for raising awareness and starting a conversation. By liberal logic, wouldn't he be creating more oppression?

I so hope for a Presidential race landslide victory for Trump. I also hope that he bans the NYT from the White House press corp. The NYT is a dinosaur that needs to be “put down” based on how biased they have been (Wikileaks DNC emails proved the NYT and CNN were beyond believe in their beliefs.
