Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump claimed presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton “can never claim to be a friend of the gay community” because of her support for immigration policies that would bring in more Muslim immigrants.
During his speech in New Hampshire, Trump declared, “The bottom line is that Hillary supports policies that bring the threat of radical Islam into America and allow it to grow overseas, and it is growing. In fact, Hillary Clinton’s catastrophic immigration plan will bring vastly more radical Islamic immigration into this country, threatening not only our society, but our entire way of life. When it comes to radical Islamic terrorism, ignorance is not bliss. It’s deadly. It’s entirely deadly.”
Later in the speech, Trump said, “This shooter—and amazingly, in Orlando—was the child of an immigrant father who supported one of the most repressive regimes on Earth. Why would we admit people who support violent hatred?
"Hillary Clinton can never claim to be a friend of the gay community as long as she continues to support immigration policies that bring Islamic extremists to our country and who suppress women, gays, and anyone else who doesn’t share their views or values.”
“She can’t have it both ways. She can’t claim to be supportive of these communities while trying to increase the number of people coming in who want to oppress these same communities,” Trump continued.
Trump asked, “How does this kind of immigration make our lives better? How does this kind of immigration make our country better? Why does Hillary Clinton want to bring people in in vast numbers who reject our values? Why? Explain.”
“Ask yourself who is really the friend of women and the LGBT community. Donald Trump with actions or Hillary Clinton with her words. I will tell you who the better friend is, and some day, I believe that will be proven out. Big league.”
