Trump hits back at Clinton’s Islamic State claim
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDonald Trump is again pushing back on rival Hillary Clinton’s assertion that his rhetoric serves as a recruiting tool for Islamic State militants.
Trump told a rally crowd Tuesday: “I’m being tough. How is that a recruiting tool?”
He was speaking at High Point University in North Carolina.
The Republican presidential nominee said it’s Clinton whose policies as secretary of state allowed the militant group to rise.
He says that ISIS “happened on Hillary Clinton’s watch,” and added: “the rise of ISIS is Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy legacy.” ISIS is an acronym for the Islamic State group.
