Appearing on ABC News This Week via telephone, Donald Trump scoffed at Hillary Clinton’s claim ISIS is “going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.” “Knowing the Clintons and knowing Hillary, she made it up,” Trump declared. Fact-checkers at PolitiFact, CNN and (gasp!) even Vox pointed out there is no evidence to support Hillary’s accusation. (Trump should have mentioned the irony of Hillary Clinton now preemptively blaming future terror attacks on a video of an American doing something that enrages Muslims.)
Like Obama, Hillary feels comfortable saying absolutely anything because she thinks the press will cover for her. Unfortunately for her, the truth tends to come out anyway and when you tell whoppers that get this much attention, even liberals have trouble backing you.
PS: On a side note, if you’re talking about ISIS recruiting tools, toppling Gaddafi and inserting ourselves into the civil war in Syria has probably done more to help them get new recruits than anything Trump has ever or will ever say.
