Reply To: Who's Worse – Trump or Clinton?

A brief (mo-29, just for you;) snippet from:

Trump’s terrorism address, fact-checked

By Louis Nelson

Donald Trump sharply criticized Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama on Monday, saying their incompetent immigration and national security policies allowed attacks like the mass killing in Orlando and claiming that, barring a change in course, terrorists would leave Americans “without our country.”

But while some of Trump’s statements were accurate, many were based on a stretch of, or outright disregard for, the facts at hand.

Trump’s most prominent stretch is linking the attack to immigration, given that the shooter, Omar Mateen, was a native-born U.S. citizen. Even if one stretches blame to the decision to allow Mateen’s parents to enter the U.S., that was decades before Obama took office or Clinton held her post at the head of the State Department.

Trump’s flirtation with fiction went further Monday. Here’s what he said in his address that passes factual muster, and what falls short.

No gray area here: Omar Mateen was born in New York City 29 years ago.
