Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has claimed he is a ‘real friend’ of the LGBT community, and that a Hillary Clinton victory in November would lead to mass murder of gay people.
50 people were killed and 53 injured on Sunday in the shocking terrorist hate crime attack, which saw a gunman open fire inside The Pulse gay bar in Orlando, Florida. ISIS has since claimed responsibility for the attack, which was perpetrated by US citizen Omar Mateen. The majority of the victims were Latino.
In a speech on Monday, Donald Trump – who opposes transgender rights, would appoint justices to repeal equal marriage and opposes federal anti-discrimination protections – claimed he is a ‘real friend’ of LGBT people and said a victory for Hillary Clinton would lead to the deaths of more gays.
He said: “That is the choice I put before the American people: a mainstream immigration policy designed to benefit America, or Hillary Clinton’s radical immigration policy designed to benefit politically-correct special interests.
“Ask yourself, who is really the friend of women and the LGBT community, Donald Trump with his actions, or Hillary Clinton with her words? Clinton wants to allow Radical Islamic terrorists to pour into our country—they enslave women, and murder gays.
“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 who suppress women, gays and anyone who doesn’t share their views.”
Despite his own policies, the Republican added: “I refuse to allow America to become a place where gay people, Christian people, and Jewish people, are the targets of persecution and intimidation by Radical Islamic preachers of hate and violence.
“Our nation stands together in solidarity with the members of Orlando’s LGBT Community.”
Trump has already caused controversy on the issue, suggesting that President Obama is complicit in the deaths because “he doesn’t get it or he gets it better than anyone understands.”
Caused controversy is such a wussy way to imply false equivalence.
The publication reproduced above isn’t named, but this idea that any argument between 2 parties has ,2 versions of the truth is damaging.
It prevents clear presentation if the facts, and Trump is exploiting the media. That’s how he is now at 30% odds to win a race he shouldnt even be in.
the guy keeps shimmy-shammying his way through issues, slipping so fast from one side of the track to he other, he makes me dizzy. And the fact that Americans can’t see through his duplicity makes me wonder.
Some Americans don’t see his confusion. They see a saviour.
A saviour in Monsieur small preeq Trump? I laugh in Greek!
All these stressing on his preeq size. I take it you have seen it…..yes?
What’s so special about there? The incessant and careless shooting? I will pass.
You say it like we don’t have incessant and careless shootings here, only reason you hear about theirs is because it’s a big deal over there
Could this man just rest with his small preeq. Isn’t obvious these are the words of a desperate politician. Donald trump is Donald Trump is Donald Trump and he will always be Donald Trump period!. The man is a confused chameleon
These Right wing conservatives sha, such shameless politicking.
Some American are blind just like some Nigerian were. But I do hope and pray for the best man to Win.
el stupido
bastardo.
I don’t know what it is, but I sure as hell know I’m not looking forward to the US presidential elections.
I hate this fucker!
Wait!!! You wouldn’t support immigration policies? Didn’t he claim the latinos and latinas sef be sent back to their country? Who is he exactly gonna try to be presiding over with his stricter immigration policies? Empty homes???
At this point, if I was American, I wouldn’t be voting for Hillary cos I believe in her, I’d be voting cos I wouldn’t want a Neo-nazi in the white house.
Trump is pro-gay and abortion rights,actually.At least,he was before silly season started.Haven’t heard him change that position,just toned it down a bit in order not to irk the very conservative republican base.
He’s still an asshole though and will lose if Hillary’s gotv is half what Obama’s was.Trump has already pushed Latinos and Muslim Americans to her side,along with women voters who make up majority of LIKELY voters.
By the way,if yaf not travelled to obodo oyibo, find way go between now and November, cos if this motherfucker wins, just cancel your plans for the next 4 years at least..cos he’s withdrawing immigration from countries with a history of radical islam terrorists against the U.S…. well boko haram hasn’t attacked america, but knowing this guy, he’d as well ban every country with Muslims
