TIL Desk/World/St Louis-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton today clashed with Republican rival Donald Trump on his plans to ban Muslims entering the US, saying it will be “shortsighted” and “dangerous” to engage in his “demagogic rhetoric” about the community.
In a presidential debate that turned nasty from the start over Trump’s 2005 video of lewd and sexually explicit remarks against women, Clinton did not shake hands with the 70-year- old reality TV star as the two rivals walked on the stage at the Washington University here for the second presidential debate – a clear sign of the escalated rivalry between them.
In the second segment of the town-hall style debate, the two clashed on Obamacare, taxes and Islamaphobia and Trump repeatedly slammed the 68-year-old former secretary of state for her “bad judgement”, pointing fingers at her as he paced the debate floor while answering the questions.
Gorbah Hameed, a Muslim, asked the two nominees on how they will help people like her deal with the consequences of being labeled as a threat to the country after the election. When pressed on whether ban on Muslims entering the US is no longer his position, Trump said the ban in “some form has morphed into an extreme vetting from certain areas of the world”.
