Hillary Evolves, Now Willing to Cite 'Radical Islam' as Problem

The author at PJ Media, Mr Stephen Kruiser, today asks about "The Trump Effect?"

Hillary Clinton on Monday broke from President Barack Obama in referring to the terrorist attack as "radical Islamism," countering Donald Trump's accusations that both she and Obama are weak on tackling terrorist threats.

In an interview with NBC's "Today" on Monday morning, Clinton said words matter less than actions, but that she didn't have a problem using the term.

"And from my perspective, it matters what we do, not what we say.  It matters that we got Bin Laden, not what name we called him," Clinton said.  "But if he is somehow suggesting I don't call this for what it is, he hasn't been listening.  I have clearly said we face terrorist enemies who use Islam to justify slaughtering people.  We have to stop them and we will.  We have to defeat radical jihadist terrorism, and we will."

Both terms "mean the same thing," Clinton continued, adding, "And to me, radical jihadism, radical Islamism, I think they mean the same thing. I'm happy to say either, but that's not the point."

And, the conversation continues after this point, but you should click on the link and go read it.
