Trump also took a jibe at President Barack Obama in his speech at New Hampshire following the attack. “We must find out what is going on,” the ABC quoted him as saying. “We need to tell the truth about how radical Islam is coming to our shores.”
He added, “The killer, whose name I will not use or ever say, was born to Afghan parents who immigrated to the United States.”
He also contended that Mateen’s father had previously supported the Taliban. “Immigration from Afghanistan into the United States has increased nearly five-fold in just one year. If we want to remain a free and open society, then we have to control our borders.”
Clinton, however, warned of blaming the Muslim-Americans for the Orlando massacre and referred to the Islamic State terrorist as “radical jihadists.”
