“They’re afraid of doing anything about it because they don’t want to be accused of profiling”, O’Reilly quoted from Trump about the response from local police.
Clinton and Trump initially responded to the incident in contrasting styles: Trump was quick to announce that a bomb had gone off in NY, even before there was much information about the incident; Clinton, meanwhile, urged caution, and the importance of waiting to draw conclusions until more information was available. “We do not know who they are”.
Trump last week publicly said for the first time unequivocally that Obama was born in the US.
Speaking on Monday, the Democratic presidential candidate emphasized her experience dealing with terrorism in the Unite States and overseas, while criticizing the response of her Republican opponent, Mr. Trump.
Trump called Holt a “professional” and said that he respected him, but he said that supporters of Clinton were “gaming the system” and “trying to intimidate” Lester into being tough on him.
Clinton urged caution and said it was important not to draw conclusions until there was more information.
Terror is again front and center on the campaign trail, as the two candidates continued their debate over plans to defeat ISIS. She is viewed unfavorably by just over half of voters and does not have much support beyond registered Democrats, said Siena spokesman Steve Greenberg.
While “I can take that kind of stuff”, Clinton added that “I’m not going to take what he says about everybody else”.
Trump has said repeatedly the presidential debates will be stacked against him. Leading Ohio, leading in North Carolina. In the days leading up to the election, Clinton surrogates from President Obama to Sen.
