Trump stretches facts in fiery post-Orlando speech

Source: CNN

Donald Trump responded Monday to the worst terror attack since 9/11 with a no-holds-barred attack on Muslims and Hillary Clinton that played loose with the facts and was rife with inflammatory rhetoric.

He claimed Clinton wanted to disarm Americans and let Islamic terrorists slaughter them, while seeming to overinflate the number of Syrian refugees and insinuating the perpetrator of the Orlando attack was a foreigner.

* * *
He accused Clinton of wanting to "allow radical Islamic terrorists to pour into our country. They enslave women and they murder gays. I don't want them in our country."

And he repeated an unsubstantiated claim that Clinton wants to deny Americans' 2nd Amendment rights.

6. Cons are very used to lying but a good liar remembers who they lied to and what was said.

You'll be NEXT after WaPo to get the boot out the door!

Key words in the article sure to piss him off:
"stretches facts"
"loose with the facts"
"inflammatory rhetoric"
"exaggeration"
"claim that seems to fly in the face of the evidence"
"little regard for facts"
"unsubstantiated"
"provocative rhetoric"

LOL, the next article on their page has this headline:
Trump Stiffs Contractors
