Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton went after Republican counterpart Donald Trump at the ABC News debate Saturday night, dubbing him "ISIS' best recruiter."
Moderator David Muir cited Trump's proposed ban on Muslims entering the US and asked what Clinton would say to the millions of Americans who say they support it.
Trump gave his proposal after the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, in which a radical-jihadist couple attacked a community center and left 14 people dead.
"A lot of people are understandably reacting out of fear and anxiety about what they're seeing [with terrorist attacks], and Mr. Trump has a great capacity to use bluster and bigotry to inflame people and to make them think there are easy answers to very complex questions," Clinton said.
She said the US must stand united against terrorist threats and to make sure that "Muslim Americans don't feel left out or marginalized at the very moment when we need their help." Clinton cited President George W. Bush reaching out to the Muslim community after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and telling them that they are not the US' adversary.
"We have to make sure the really discriminatory messages Donald Trump is sending around the world do not fall on receptive ears," Clinton said.
"He is becoming ISIS' best recruiter," she charged. "They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists."
It's unclear whether ISIS — the terrorist group also known as the Islamic State, ISIL, and Daesh — has been showing potential recruits videos of Trump. But ISIS does push the message that there is a clash of civilizations between Islam and the West.

It’s always the video with Cankles.
Again with damned “videos”?
Hillary is stuck on STUPID !
Obama is their best recruiter.
... goes to prove his point in spades!
If I were her I would not start talking about videos. Four families are offended about her and video issues.
Hillary and Obama’s Polices are the best recruiters as was her husband was for 9-11
And how does she know, does she attend ISIS daily briefings
She’s already lied about videos to the families of the Benghazi victims.
The videos of the bodies of those Americans being dragged through the streets of Benghazi were - I’m sure - used for recruitment.
“The CIA has given them every video of Trump that we can find... And recorded any use our ISIS friends made of them.”
Sorry Clinton. Film clips of you and the Kenyan’s response to the terrorist murders at Benghazi and the Kenyan’s response to San Bernadino are the best recruiting tools ISIS has. Trump has never allowed any Americans die at the hands of radical Islamists. ISIS knows that with you or the Kenyan in the White Hut, America is a nation of chicken**its.
Sydney Blumenthal forwards her some emails, but he doesn't write them, or know who did.
Trump is going to bury her in the election.
Mark my words.
L
The Fox News poll is delusional and corrupt. Hillary is toast.
Not importing people who might kill you doesn’t hurt you if it makes more of the people you don’t let in want to kill you.
so a private citizen with no power is ISIS’s best recruiter while president obama/secretary hillary is powerless
Like ISIS/ISIL needs a recruiter!
They seem to be growing in number under the present weak regime.
Once President Trump takes office then we’ll see whether he’s a recruitment tool or their obliviator.
Sounds like what Jimmy Carter said about Ronald Reagan and the Iranians during the 1980 debates.
