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.
