Donald Trump says he believes the mother and sister of Syed Farook, one of the alleged shooters in the San Bernardino massacre, knew that a terror attack was being planned.
"I believe the that the sister of the killer, I watched her interview, I think she knew what was going on," Trump told reporters after a speech in Iowa on Saturday. "I think his mother knew what was going on."
The GOP front-runner said the family members had been in the apartment of the alleged attackers, which authorities said contained thousands of rounds of ammunition, 12 pipe bombs and materials to make several improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
"She went into the apartment," Trump said of Farook's mother. "Anybody that went in to that house or that apartment knew what was going on. They didn't tell authorities. They knew what was going on. The mother knew.
"I think the sister interviewed, I think she knew," he added. "We better get a little tough, and a little smart, or we're in trouble."
Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, are suspected of killing 14 people and wounding 21 at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, Calif., on Wednesday.
Authorities said Malik pledged her allegiance to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) during the attack.
Trump called the couple " chick s--t" earlier at the Iowa rally.
The FBI is investigating it as an " act of terror," but the lawyers representing the Farook family pushed back on the characterization on Friday, describing Malik as a " typical housewife."
Farook's brother is a decorated Navy veteran who received several commendations for his role in the war on terror.
The suspect's brother-in-law said he was " in shock" after the attack.
The landlord of Farook's apartment also said he had never suspected the couple of being terrorists.
President Obama will deliver a rare address from the Oval Office on Sunday at 8:00 p.m. discussing the San Bernardino attack and the broader terror threat to the U.S.
Whom would you believe, Trump or Obama?
Someone has to speak the truth and it ain’t Hussein
I am sick of the PC police like you . Useful fool . Trump is ahead because he states the obvious and the truth. There was a pipe bomb in the house that Dear Mother shared with these Issis sleeper plants when the police walked . Supposed the mother was watching the kid where ? At the house with the pipe bomb on the counter ! His sister belongs to the same Issis cleric cult Lets cut the crap.
Trump is right. I felt the same wAy about the boston marathon bomber’s family. They knew what was going on and they were never prosecuted.
I believe they knew. I also believe the Boston bomber’s widow knew and participated.
“Trump should have kept his mouth shut about this. Whether or not he was right, he gained nothing by commenting.”
Trump, as usual, said what we all think. He will indeed gain something; he will go up higher in the polls.
No, he should not have kept silent. Being quiet is what got us in this mess. I believe most people think that anyway.
"I think the sister interviewed, I think she knew," he added. "We better get a little tough, and a little smart, or we're in trouble."
Good advice from Trump.
I'd actually vote for a LOT tougher and a LOT smarter, myself.
Just a slight correction on that.
.
You should keep your mouth shut about this.
Wrong. He's saying what needs to be said and the media can't shut him up.
Keeping our mouths shut is why we're in the mess we're in now. It's time to NOT shut up any more.
Trump is correct. Use basic logic.
Methinks we need look no further than Campaign Trump. We’ll get a quick, pointed response to Pennsylvania Bullstuff.
Brava metmom!ð
I knew Jarook was training to be a plumber! He needed the guns to protect his threaded pipe nipples and caps.
He said exactly what you were thinking, didn't he?
Maybe you should shut up.
Particularly important. Turn the pipewrench to an AK47. It is the latest in a series of Transformer kits.
Bump!
If Trump does nothing else, he seems to have lit a fire that is not going to be easily extinguished.
His comments, which grassroots America agrees with, are pushing the MSM into revealing its true colors in a way that no one else has as of yet.
Regardless of whether he runs for president or not, he’s provided an invaluable service to this country.
Yes, the muzzies have courses on plumbing online too! This guy visited those sites.
Pipes. Used for bombs. Used for kitchen sinks.
