There were two things which could be counted on following the horrible Islamic terror attacks in Belgium this week. One was that the world would come together in expressions of sympathy and grief for those who were lost and otherwise affected. The second was that it would be turned into a political football in the American elections before the smoke had cleared out of the Brussels metro stations. True to forum, the media dashed out to ask Ted Cruz and Donald Trump what we should do about the situation and both of them suggested keeping a closer eye on Muslim communities for signs of radicalization and impending attacks.
Anything that makes as much sense as that is obviously verboten in the mainstream media, so the hunt was on for anyone and everyone who would be willing to vilify the GOP contenders. They didn’t have to wait long for Hillary Clinton’s input, as she was quick to attack both of them following her victory rally in Arizona. (ABC News)
Hillary Clinton slammed Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz for his proposal to patrol U.S. Muslim neighborhoods as a plan to combat terrorism, in the wake of Tuesday’s attacks in Brussels.
“Ted Cruz, who said we need to be policing everywhere Muslims live. I don’t know about you; that is not only offensive that too is dangerous,” Clinton told the crowd at a rally in Seattle Tuesday shortly after declaring victory in the Arizona Democratic primary.
“Because we want everybody to feel together on our common defense against terrorism.
It’s funny how people will respond to a tragedy such as this. You never know what a candidate or elected official will say in the heat of the moment. That includes Clinton herself. In fact, she was asked a very similar question after the 9/11 attacks by ABC news anchor Sam Donaldson and her response back then was a bit less… nuanced.
