“Now that Islamic terrorism is going to be front and center, there’s going to be a new focus on whether this administration, the administration of Hillary Clinton at [the Department of] State, was permeated at the highest levels by Saudi intelligence and others who are not loyal Americans”, Stone said, as reported by The Hill.

“We’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind”, Trump said on Fox News. “We have no choice”.

Trump said Clinton has supported lax immigration policies that have allowed terrorists to slip through and has let political correctness stop her from speaking the truth about “Islamic extremists”.
Clinton says “radical Islamism” fuelled Orlando massacre.
According to the FBI Director James Comey, the gunman in the Orlando nightclub attack that killed 49 people had “strong indications of radicalization”.
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump said that he is with conservative Christians in their stance on core values and issues, such as religious freedom and abortion. “They know what’s going on. It’s very risky. We’re fighting an enemy without a uniform”, Trump told ABC. “But you know what, they didn’t turn them in. and we had death and destruction”.
Clinton laid out several different policy options, including enhanced intelligence sharing among federal and local law enforcement, additional training and financial resources for first responders, and more aggressive global efforts to freeze terrorists’ ability to send money, arms and operatives around the world. “I believe weapons of war have no place on our streets”, she said, pointing out that the Orlando, San Bernardino and Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shootings were all carried out using AR-15 rifles.
