An Afghan immigrant wanted for questioning in the bombings was captured in New Jersey Monday after being wounded in a gun battle with police, authorities said. In Maine’s 2nd congressional district, Trump has a comfortable lead over Clinton, meaning that he will likely get at least one electoral vote from the Pine Tree State. The song is standard by now at Trump events, and evoking the 2001 terror attack for the goal of maximizing fear seems the obvious objective.
As Trump supporters at a packed rally in Florida shouted “Hang him!” the Republican presidential candidate mocked the fact that Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old USA citizen originally from Afghanistan, would receive quality medical care and legal representation.
