Clinton spokesman refuses to apologize to Trump over ISIS claim: 'Hell no'

A spokesman for Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Monday refused to offer an apology to GOP rival Donald Trump for claiming the outspoken billionaire has been used in terror recruitment videos.

"Hell no," Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon told The Wall Street Journal

"Hillary Clinton will not be apologizing to Donald Trump for correctly pointing out how his hateful rhetoric only helps ISIS recruit more terrorists," Fallon added.

Trump earlier on Monday demanded an apology from Clinton for claiming that he was being used in Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) recruitment videos, saying Clinton "always lies."

"I demand an apology from Hillary Clinton for the disgusting story she made up about me for purposes of the debate. There never was a video," Trump tweeted.

Clinton cited Trump's controversial remarks on Muslims to say during the Democratic debate over the weekend that Trump "is becoming ISIS's best recruiter."

"They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists," the former secretary of State said.

Her campaign stood by the claim on Sunday, with campaign chairman John Podesta describing it as "a very fair charge" given Trump's regular appearance on television and social media.

Nah...Trump should never bother asking Hillary for an apology...it reminds me of when Jebbie asked Trump for an apology to his wife, which Jebbie never had a hope in hell of getting. Never explain, never complain, Donald...be above it all, that is where your strength lies.

Yeah, in fact Trump was probably used in the video that caused Benghazi!

“What difference does it make?”

Trump isn't Jeb. I bet Trump understands the tactics espoused in Rules for Radicals and how to use them in a word battle.

Trump gets their game and knows how to deal with a hostile press.

Being a hardcore leftist means never having to say “I’m sorry.” Clinton is a pathetic dirtbag.

Yeah, yeah, the first amendment. We still can't yell fire in a crowded theater. Lying politicians have won positions by lying about their opponents and that has a direct affect as to the ruin of this nation. The damage to this country from our lying politicians has clearly risen to a level that society should no longer allow and should put in place a law that holds all political liars and Judges personally responsible by disqualifying them from holding public office and in the case of obozo, prosecuted for the damage to our freedom resulting from his lies.

Caught lying, but won’t admit the error. Seems like Sanders should be focusing her her as the pathological liar, not Trump.

If I were Donald, I would respond as such,

“While I find it not uncommon for a Clinton to lie and then deny it I won’t hold my breath waiting for a apology knowing it will never come.

However, it does highlight what we ALL Know about the Clintons. The Truth is foreign to them, be it Property Investments, Pork Belly Futures, Selling Technology Secrets to the Chinese for Campaign Contributions, Selling access to the White House, walking away with Silver when kicked out, having sex in the Oval Office, sexual assault of a State Worker, missing billing Records, and the Most reckless of all....Lieing to the Families of the 4 Brave Men that lost their Lives in Benghazi when the Public reception of their bodies was held at Andrews Air Force Base.

Every American should remember that When EVER they See or hear Hillary Clinton.”

If someone watches Donald Trump and decides to go out and kill people as a result, then they were a terrorist long before Trump ever declared for President.

Of course, when ISIS itself has a film in which William Jefferson Clinton is featured as the “Fornicator in Chief,” then that MIGHT just have some connection to the mindset of those who join and belong to such an organization.

OH no, he took them right where they did NOT want to go. Addressing Hiilary's honesty. There are 30 years of her Lies to re-examine to several Generations that weren't around to listen to them the first time... They won't be dismissed outside of the old Media in which kids now days don't pay any attention to. This will only reinforce her as a screatching old hag that doesn't tell the truth. Remember, "we were broke when we left the white house"?

Dear Leftist morons,

Muslims hate you for not believing in God. They think god commands them to kill you. That is the reality you continue to do ignore at your own peril.

Definition of “Persecution” ... “Hillary Clinton” With over 30 years of Public life there has not been even a shred of scandal attached to her or her husband.

If anyone needs a /S you are on the wrong forum

Thank you Cyman
