Hillary Clinton on Tuesday bashed Donald Trump's response to the mass shooting in Orlando, accusing him of stoking "conspiracy theories" that President Obama is sympathetic to Islamic terrorists.
"Yesterday morning, just one day after the massacre, he went on TV and suggested that President Obama is on the side of the terrorists," she told a crowd in Pittsburgh.
Even in a time of divided politics, this is way beyond anything that should be said by someone running for President of the United States."
She called Trump's comments "shameful" and "disrespectful" to the families of the 49 victims killed in the attack, which was the worst mass shooting in American history. She labeled Trump "a leader of the birther movement" that questions Obama's birthplace and bashed him for attacking a federal judge's heritage.
"It was one thing when he was a reality TV personality, raising his arms, shouting 'You're fired,' " she said.
"It's another thing all together when he is the Republican Party's presumptive nominee for president. We don't need conspiracy theories and pathological self congrats, we need leadership, common sense and concrete plans because we are facing a brutal enemy."
Trump on Monday morning said Obama either doesn't understand the threat of radical Islamic terrorism or "there's something going on" that is "inconceivable."
"He doesn't get it, or he gets it better than anybody understands. It's one or the other, and either one is unacceptable," Trump said.
