The US has the capability to prevent terrorist attacks such as the nightclub massacre in the US state of Florida but opposition from US officials, including President Barack Obama, to mosque surveillance robs law-enforcement of needed intelligence, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said in a television interview on Monday.
In his presidential campaign, Trump has advocated monitoring mosques and Muslim communities to identify individuals who are being radicalized to commit terrorist attacks.
"We need more intelligence, we need a stronger intelligence community," Trump told Fox News. "Obama won’t do that because he doesn’t want to single out this group."
On Sunday, US national Omar Mateen killed 49 people and injured 53 others at Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando. The Orlando massacre has become the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the United States, surpassing the death toll from the 2007 incident at Virginia Tech university, which claimed 32 lives.
While commenting on a massacre of at least 50 people at a gay nightclub in the US state of Florida, Trump was especially critical of a 2014 decision by New York City Mayor Mayor Bill de Blasio to dismantle a police department agency known as the "Demographics Unit."
"In New York City we had a fantastic intelligence group set up. When our mayor, our new mayor de Blasio… wiped it all out, it was the best in the country," Trump said. "So now we don’t know what’s going on."
The Demographics Unit sent plainclothes officers into Muslim neighborhoods to monitor conversations. In the process, the agency created detailed files on Muslims, including where they ate, shopped and worshipped.
At the time, de Blasio said disbanding the unit was necessary to restore trust between the police and communities.
“In a time of universal deceit...”
You know the rest.
Yes, because it’s not a religion, but a world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion.
It looks like people are starting to come around to Trump after this. After Gay Club Massacre – Phoenix LGBT Officially ENDORSES TRUMP
Am I the only one tired of Cruz sending me 5 emails a day explaining how he wants to steal the election at the convention?
Pray America wakes
The simple declaration of war against America makes the group or community a threat.We should be able to get a warrant and visit any office or mosque in self-defense of America. J Edgar Hoover’s FBI did it, why can’t we?
If we, the people, do not elect Trump, we are admitting that we don’t care for our country anymore....
Close the f’g mosks that preach death to us infidels or that we need to be conquered and subjugated or enslaved. This probably includes most of them , especially those in USA that are funded or staffed by Saudi Arabia and ...? Repatriate/ deport them ASAP! Just watching them is nearly impossible ( Published reports say 66 agents needed for full surveillance of a single Moslem ). Return them to their own countries - the 56 nations they’ve already conquered and subjugated ( or murderd the inhabitants) —,taken over by this very Islamic way of mass scale infiltration -,followed by armed terror attacks
Cruz is showing himself to be unbalanced......
These mosques are breeding grounds for Jihadism..its where they are taught..a mosque in Sanford, Florida has an Imam who has said repeatedly that gays should be murdered..what the feds have to do is bring in undercover people who go into these mosques, blend in with the crowd, tape record everything that is being said, plans in development, etc
Everytime a Muslim attacks US citizens, a Mosque should be shut down permanently.
Winner-Winner-Winner..
Liberals are incapable of protecting the US against terrorism.
I am watching Trump’s live speech and thinking, why even have an election? This is already quite obviously a choice between common sense and the FAILED IDEOLOGY OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
In casse any Dumbocrats are reading, I will repeat that:
THE FAILED IDEOLOGY OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
By the way, could you clean up your mess? It’s beginning to smell bad.
As for Cruz, if he is in fact holding on to hopes of replacing Trump, that makes no sense at all. Trump has hit his stride and is clearly the engine of American recovery.
This doesn’t make Cruz a bad person, sometimes life deals us a bad hand, maybe he would have been just as good as a front runner. But he’s not the front runner, time to end the denial and get behind presumptive 45th president Trump.
Hillary, just give up. You aren’t fit. Bernie, they say there are nice villas you can get at a great price in Cuba.
Go for it. You’ll love the communism.
HERE HERE!! Trump is speaking right now and I haven’t felt this right about him since the massacre in Florida. HERE HERE Donald Trump....wish the election was tomorrow!!
Liberals have no intention of protecting the US from terrorism. Every terrorist event presents them with another opportunity to steal our rights.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Ironic think is that they think they won’t be affected.
I was in my dentist’s office earlier today, waiting for a new crown. The TV was on the Orlando Massacre—non-stop.
Trump’s speech was not included in their programming. All they had was gays and obama. I can’t stand the sight of either one of them!!!!
Yecccccchhhhh!!!!!
YES!
Nope.
There are real monsters in this world.
They are called Muslims.
