GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump called out President Barack Obama for his refusal to say "Islamic terrorism" in reference to the shooting Thursday in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which left four people dead. Trump suggested that given the security concerns that America is facing, the time for political correctness is over.
"It's going to get worse in our country and we better start fighting a lot tougher than we're fighting right now," Trump told Fox News host Bill O'Reilly in an interview. "If we're going to fight elements that are causing tremendous problems ... at least we have to start maybe being not so politically correct."
A 24-year-old suspect identified as Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez is believed to have carried out the attack on two military sites in Chattanooga, killing four Marines and wounding three other people before being shot dead by police.
What is known so far is that Abdulazeez was a naturalized American born in Kuwait, and that he was a devoted Muslim who blogged about Islam online.
The FBI, which is leading the investigation into the crime, has said that Abdulazeez was not on any terror suspect lists, and that it is too early to establish a motive for the attack.
"We are looking at every possible avenue, whether it was terrorism whether it was domestic, international or whether it was a simple, criminal act," FBI Special Agent Ed Reinhold said.
He is the only one not owned or controlled by others
On target all segments
He needs to stimulate others to do the work and then comment just before the reveal. /s
It would be just as bad with Romney? Right? At least that is what some said here.
Trump is right.
In order to defeat your enemy, first you have to identify your enemy, then acknowledge that they are your enemy.
I go to the link on the mosque nearest my home and they are having a prayer for Eid w/e today at one of the local school. Ummmmmmmm, if this was a Christian celebration, wanna bet the would not be happening.
It took the media and the administration all of 9 seconds to declare the Charleston church shooting a Hate Crime.
Personally, I like Bobby Jindal.
I’m all for Trump!
What's up with this!!!!!
Trump’s responses are honest, heartfelt and to the point. Isn’t that one of the most important traits a President should possess?
YES!
Trump is right.
A few more of these attacks and Americans are going to declare open season. Now that’s going to be ugly. So the govt better do something like start moving them out of the country and shutting down any mosque that is teaching that Wahhabi crap.
Mr. Trump is not afraid to stand up for the truth.
RE “...So the govt better do something like start moving them out of the country and shutting down any mosque ...”
Do you REALLY see this administration doing that??? In ANY scenario?
Not gonna happen.
In other words, Mr. Trump would hand Mr. Obama his rear end.
My nose was black and blue in 2012 voting for Mittens—I vowed never to vote that way again. Will not need to hold my nose for Cruz, Trump . They speak my heart.
I don’t see ANY administration doing that.
The best we could hope for would be to stop importing more.
“...The best we could hope for would be to stop importing more....”
Don’t hold your breath, friend (we need you around more than we need more of them).
