Hillary Clinton denies husband was critical of Obama

Republican candidate Donald Trump continues to receive worldwide condemnation over his comments on proposed ban of Muslim’s travelling to America.

Trump’s latest critic is Hillary Clinton who invoked the five Sullivan brothers — the most famous fallen World War II heroes in Waterloo, Iowa — at her town hall gathering on the subject of leadership, saying they “acted with resolve, not fear.”

Clinton then transitioned to Donald Trump, whose name was met by boos, saying “he does traffic in prejudice and paranoia” by calling for a ban on Muslims entering the United States.

“It’s not only shameful, it’s dangerous,” Clinton said of Trump’s rhetoric, telling the crowd of 400 that it “runs counter to what I and others who actually have been in the [White House] Situation Room, making hard choices, know we have to do. We have to enlist help from American Muslims, Muslims around the world in defeating the radical jihadists and the hateful ideology they represent.”
