Clinton, who will face Trump in the November election, quickly challenged Republicans to either “stand up to their presumptive nominee” or “stand by his accusation about our president”.
Trump repeated his call for a temporary ban on the entry of Muslims into the United States after a US -born Muslim, the son of Afghan immigrants, fatally shot 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando early on Sunday.
None of the North Carolina GOP congressional delegation was expected to attend Trump’s campaign event Tuesday night in Greensboro, NC, either, citing congressional business, according to an NBC News survey.
RNC chairman Reince Priebus opted to take aim at Obama and Clinton following their Tuesday lash outs at Trump.
“We have to screen applicants to know whether they are affiliated with or supporting radical groups and beliefs”, Trump said in the speech delivered at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire.
“Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away”, Obama said, saying his refusal to employ the term wasn’t about political correctness but “actually defeating extremism”.
Clinton, at a union hall in Pittsburgh, echoed the sentiment.
The remarkable bipartisan outcry over Mr Trump’s positions – coming at a moment of national mourning after the deadliest mass shooting in United States history – set off a new wave of alarm within the GOP over whether the real estate mogul’s promised pivot to the general election would ever materialise.
“Inflammatory anti-Muslim rhetoric and threatening to ban the families and friends of Muslim Americans, as well as millions of Muslim business people and tourists from entering our country, hurts the vast majority of Muslims who love freedom and hate terror”, she said.
While Obama has been careful to keep the distinction, it was a premise laid out by his predecessor President George W. Bush in the early days after the September 11, 2001, attacks. “I do not think it is reflective of our principles, not just as a party but as a country”. “Even in a time of divided politics, this is way beyond anything that should be said by someone running for President of the United States”. There could be major developments when it comes to issues that have impacted this race, like ISIS or gun violence, or the baggage that the candidates themselves bring, such as Clinton’s use of a private email server, and Trump’s incendiary comments against Latinos and Muslims. “Where does this stop?” the president asked. Obama asked. “Are we going to start subjecting them to special surveillance?”
Most national polls in late May and early June showed a closer race, but they were taken before criticism intensified of Trump’s charge that a U.S. judge overseeing fraud cases against Trump University is biased because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.
If we really want to help law enforcement protect Americans from homegrown extremists, the kind of tragedies that occurred at San Bernardino and that now have occurred in Orlando, there is a meaningful way to do that. “It doesn’t reflect our democratic ideals”.
Diane Gurganus, 70, from Jefferson, Georgia, said she, too, believed Obama was a Muslim whose religious beliefs were affecting the way he has responded to Islamic State militants and the Orlando attacks. “From my perspective, it matters what we do, not just what we say”. Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, has repeatedly said he believes “Letting Trump be Trump” is the key to the campaign’s success.
President Barack Obama and administration officials made a strong push for gun control Tuesday in the wake of the terrorist attack in Orlando.
