WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - The Democratic party has slammed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump over his comments that allegedly suggested that President Barack Obama is siding with terrorists.
Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz issued a statement in response to Trump's comment that the President 'continues to prioritize our enemy over our allies, and for that matter, the American people.'
Schultz said it is a disgusting and outrageous allegation. 'Trump's comments aren't just factually wrong and unproductive, they're deeply divisive at a time when we should be united in common cause against terrorism, and they're outright dangerous to our national security,' she added. The party demanded an immediately apology by the septuagenarian.
Separately, Hillary Clinton urged the Republican leadership to rebuke Trump's dangerous rhetoric.
In her hard hitting speech in Pittsburgh, the Democratic presidential nominee said what Donald Trump is saying is shameful. It is disrespectful to the people who were killed and wounded, and their families, Clinton told her supporters. She repeated her opinion on Trump that he is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be Commander- in-Chief of the United States.
