Clinton Campaign Walks Back Her Claim That Trump Was Featured in ISIS Recruitment Videos

In Saturday night's 3rd Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton sought to emphasize her line that Donald Trump has become "ISIS's best recruiter" by suggesting that the extremist group was using Trump in their recruiting videos, a claim which has now been widely discredited by fact-checkers and ISIS experts, and which prompted Trump to call Clinton a liar on the Sunday morning talk-show circuit.

As a result, Sunday morning also saw Clinton campaign manager John Podesta and spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri work to walk Clinton's statement back. Appearing on ABC's This Week, Palmieri said that Clinton "didn't have a particular video in mind"

When it was over Stephy had the expression of someone run over by a truck.

Yes, it was exquisite. We will see a lot more of that with Trump. He is the like the R. Lee Ermey of Prez candidates.

Let’s face it; the biggest recruitment for Isis was the American defeat at Benghazi thanks to Clinton and Obama being asleep at the switch. We can’t forget Maj. Hassan and his slaughter at Ft. Hood as well as Bernadino/ These attacks are what encourages recruitment.

Thank you—and merry Christmas to you too!

When they replay her accusations from the debate you really get a example of her obnoxious persona. Just wait till the general election debates. Someone could play off that.

‘Trump does not mince words and people appreciate that. He calls a liar, a liar....not ‘walk it back.’’

So true! And now he’s demanding an apology. He’s not going to let this drop.

...said that Clinton "didn't have a particular video in mind"

Did anyone ask the next obvious question, "How many videos are out there for her to have chosen from?"....

[Fantasywriter]

‘Yep. A Liar and Tired.’

This should be a tagline. It has that ring to it:

Hillary: a liar and tired.

Read the transcript from that bimbo Jennifer Palmieri's spinning like a top for Clinton's Boy George:

(With full credit and many thanks to TheAmericanMirror.Com)

When asked to respond to Trump's accusation this morning that Clinton lied, Palmieri said, "Um, the uh, uh, you know, Donald Trump I think was talking - uh, you know, what Secretary Clinton was saying last night is that one of the many dangerous things about Donald Trump is that, uh, his hot rhetoric, say we should not allow Muslim refugees into the country is being used and this is something site, international, uh, uh, international group who monitors social media and, uh, on ISIS..." Palmieri said, seemingly out of breath.

Host George Stephanopoulos interjected, "But there have been no videos"

"Well what they have said is that they are using him, they, he is being used in social media by ISIS as propaganda, She didn't have a particular video in mind but he's being used in social media, um, and uh, you know, what they haven't found is, this group hasn't found the video Mr. Trump keeps talking about this alleged mystery video of thousands of people in (New) Jersey cheering, uh, collapse of the World Trade Center"

"But it is true he is being used in social media, by, um, ISIS to, to, help recruit."

Palmieri stated again that Clinton was not referring to a "specific" video.

In other words, Hillary Rotten Criminal pulled that lie right out of her fat, funky ass.

And note the lame attempt at evasion by bringing up the issue of Muslims celebrating in New Jersey after the 9/11 attacks, proven factual after the 'RATS, RINOs and media tried to pretend it never happened.

That murdering bitch is gonna get hers. Wait, watch and be amazed.

She might be walking back claim that Trump was in video but Obama and Hubby Bill were in one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Travis McGee]

We are only pretending to fight ISIS.

[Awgie]

Finally! Somebody standing up to this evil. Hey Romney! Hey McLame! You see how its done now? You see why you were such LOSERS!

And while Im at it, Hey GWB via Karl Rove! You took 6 years of being bitch slapped by every low life democrat on the planet, and never once fired back, and you had plenty of ammo.

So tired of you GOPe losers. GO TRUMP!

“IIRC, this is the ONLY time that Hillary has EVER walked back any statement of hers.”

I’m wondering if a statement such add this could be grounds to sue for libel. Anyone know?

[dennisw]

Actually Bill Clinton is in a recent ISIS recruitment video. When they use the word “fornicators” Clinton’s photo pops up....I am not joking. GW is also in the video.

Almost certainly not.

Trump is about as public as you get, and you can say just about anything you want about public figures.

The bar for libel on a public figure is very high. Not only does it have to be provably false, but it has to be shown that the person doing the libel knew it was false and that they lied maliciously.

[patriotspride]

Weasel words as they know if she did, the next question would be how did she get it, and who did she share it with, and what support did she give to further its use for her own political purpose as a early guard against Trump as a candidate....

Maybe Huma is in the know ?????

You’re very welcome, upchuck, and Merry Christmas!

A&E won’t convert anyone.

Too many other media channels.

Now, if all you watch is A&E then your thought masters will effectively tell you everything you need to know.
