Donald Trump says Hillary Clinton ‘lies like crazy’
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says Democratic rival Hillary Clinton “lies like crazy” after she claimed that his anti-Muslim rhetoric is a recruiting tool for Daesh (ISIL) terrorists.
"She lies like crazy about everything," Trump said in an interview with the "Meet the Press" on Sunday. “She's a liar and everybody knows that."
"Hillary's not strong, Hillary's weak, frankly. She's got no stamina, she's not nothing,” the billionaire businessman said.
He was referring to a comment Clinton made on Saturday at the Democratic presidential debate, where she stated that Trump's rhetoric about temporarily banning Muslims from entering the US is helping ISIL’s recruitment strategy.
"They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radicals," said Clinton, a former US secretary of state.
However, independent fact-checkers have not found evidence of Trump’s videos being used by ISIL as described by Clinton.
Trump’s rhetoric against Muslims are so belligerent that some political observers, even inside his party, are seeking his removal from the presidential race and believe he is not committed to democratic principles.
Trump has drawn strong criticism and disbelief from legal experts for saying last month that he would require American Muslims to register in a database in response to the Paris terrorist attacks.
Trump has also falsely claimed that he witnessed thousands of American Muslims in the state of New Jersey celebrating after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.
