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.
He speaks straight no BS
Having experience 8 years with muslims, lemme tell you, everyone knows exactly what everyone does and is doing.
This information is shared like accurate gossip at their WEDDINGS where all the important men talk talk talk separately with the big shots and the little younger shots talk also with themselves in another group. But everyone their knows exactly what everyone is doing. There are no secrets in muslim society, no matter what they tell you. been there done that... The mosques are not the places where information is gathered and exchanged- It`s at the weddings where everyone comes and plans everything.
I agree with Trump.
My impression was that the immediate family, who used CAIR to make their statements, is practicing Teqiyya. Plan and simple.
I do not believe for an instant that Seyed and Tashfeen left that baby with them without it being very clear that they were NEVER coming back, that they were embarking on Jihad.
I could not agree with either of you more.
These two, if not all the family knew what these terrorist murderers were about to do and Donald Trump called it right!
I knew you could.
I like him because he’s shrewd but NOT ‘politic’. He says what he’s thinking.
“Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on.
“I do,” Alice hastily replied; “at least—at least I mean what I say—that’s the same thing, you know.”
“Not the same thing a bit!” said the Hatter. “You might just as well say that “I see what I eat” is the same thing as “I eat what I see”!”
—Lewis Carroll
Based on recent predictions from Trumps crystal ball I agree
Why, it was public all over the news for 72 hours. It was an attack on Americans on our soil by terrorists, one of which had been imported into our country by the Obama Government.
Trump as a candidate for President of the United States is supposed to ignore this?
I’m with Trump on this.The family says,nobody knew the couple were crazed killer terrorists! I call it BS! Wow the family of all people don’t know they are building pipe bombs and their house is a complete arsenal!? The wife is a loyalist anti-everything and posting it on facebook! Hello most of us have family and we all know family is always in our business,for our good or to criticize!
If the stuff for the bombs was out in the open, I agree. If, on the other hand, they kept it well-hidden, then likely not.
Considering how utterly well-hidden the male kept his murderous, terroristic intentions hidden from his co-workers, it’s not a stretch.
As to the thousands of rounds of ammunition, those don’t say “terrorist” to me. They say “typical gun owner.”
Only a gun controller would think differently.
” It`s at the weddings where everyone comes and plans everything.”

I’ll be darned-—I was not aware of that.
.
Coz the women can`t go inside the mosque with the men and talk
but they can go to the weddings with all the men and talk.
They are saying the Sgt. Schultz defense because they are accomplices in one way or another.
Exactly so !
Her brother obviously knew the wife was a jihadist.
completely wrong. He is cleverly creating a new narrative, that Muslims cannot be trusted and that we should not believe liberal propaganda about them
DUH!!! Whay didn’t the HAPLESS FBI drag in the mom that LIVED WITH THEM!!! And ask her for the NAMES of all the MUSLIM MEN coming to the house???? The FBI is eith Incompetent or CORRUPTED by Obama!
Interrogations that sometimes last twelve hours....with questions that skilled LE know how to frame to break alleged perps and co-conspirators down....and gain valuable information in many directions?
Or, in the case of the Farook family, would intense interrogation be considered "insensitive" and "racism" because they're all "so normal"?
Maybe there's orders from the highest levels to go easy on the relatives...I don't discount that at all. Obama will always err on the side of his fellow muslims.
We're going to pick up a lot of clues from Obama's fire-cide speech to the nation tonight. I hope all freepers plan to watch and take notes during the telecast. I also hope someone starts a speech thread.
