2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I am not a Hillary supporter, but I need to defend her. She did not lie about Trump. [View all]Motown_Johnny
(22,308 posts)34. Then you must not know what she said. The exact quote was
http://time.com/4156164/democratic-debate-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-isis/
^snip^
Clinton also said that the country needed to make sure the really discriminatory messages that Trump is sending around the world dont fall on receptive ears. He is becoming ISISs best recruiter. They are going out people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.
There is no evidence to support that claim. What she said today in Iowa was different and is accurate. Arabic Television does show videos of Trump and that does play into the hands of radical terrorists.
What she said Saturday was an untrue statement which should have been corrected immediately. Unfortunately, Hillary can't admit a mistake within a reasonable period of time so this got all blown out of proportion for a couple of days. The opposition now has more video for attack ads against her and her already terrible trustworthy numbers will be worse because of it.

I am sorry but claims of showing videos are not the same as claims of WMDs
