Following Saturday night’s Democratic debate, Republican front-runner Donald Trump took to Twitter, demanding that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton apologize for calling him "ISIS's best recruiter" and alleging that there are videos of Trump being used for jihadi recruitment.

“He is becoming ISIS’s best recruiter,” said Clinton. “They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.”

In response, Trump called Clinton a liar and demanded an apology. 

Trump added that the ISIS video propaganda story was “an admitted Hillary lie,” referring to comments made by Clinton campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday morning that there was no "specific video" in mind when the claim was made.

In her interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, spokeswoman Palmieri attempted to walk back Clinton's claim by saying that, while the campaign has no actual proof of a video, Trump and his rhetoric are "being used in social media by ISIS as propaganda.” 

"She’s not referring to a specific video, but he is being used in social media by ISIS as propaganda,” said Palmieri.
