Hillary Clinton's campaign is blasting Donald Trump's praise for Saddam Hussein


........................

Speaking in North Carolina Tuesday evening, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee acknowledged that Hussein was a "really bad guy," but reiterated praise for Hussein, who was toppled and later executed following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003.

........................

"Donald Trump's praise for brutal strongmen seemingly knows no bounds," Sullivan said.

He added: "Trump yet again lauded Saddam Hussein as a great killer of terrorists, noting with approval that he never bothered to read anyone their rights. In reality, Hussein's regime was a sponsor of terrorism — one that paid families of suicide bombers who attacked Israelis, among other crimes. Trump's cavalier compliments for brutal dictators, and the twisted lessons he seems to have learned from their history, again demonstrate how dangerous he would be as Commander-in-Chief and how unworthy he is of the office he seeks."

Hussein has rarely found many sympathizers in American political circles.

In an interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly on Tuesday evening, House Speaker Paul Ryan attempted to distance himself from Trump's comments about Hussein. .................

2. Ryan is getting his daily exercise in running away from Trumps statements.

He should think before trying to elect someone who can't control his mouth. He isn't telling it like it is, he is just wild.
