Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton didn’t mince words during the third presidential debate when asked about Donald Trump and his comments about banning Muslim immigration following the San Bernardino attack.
We “need to make sure that the really discriminatory messages that Trump is sending around the world don’t fall on receptive ears,” Clinton responded. “He is becoming ISIS’s best recruiter. They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.”
That attack on Trump quickly became troublesome for Clinton, as no one could produce evidence that Trump appeared in any recruiting video. Trump demanded an apology that never appeared; instead, terror group Al Shabaab released a video featuring that footage of Trump. So, rather than being wrong, Clinton was just proved to be extraordinarily prescient — something not lost on many media outlets.

The Associated Press reports that the 51-minute video also features “footage from recent racial conflicts in the U.S. as well as historic quotes from Malcolm X” to argue that “blacks and Muslims will always face discrimination in the U.S.”

The Associated Press even included a YouTube video clip in its tweet — and a simple click on it shows that Trump has company in this recruitment effort.
That’s strange … none of those headlines mentioned that Clinton appeared in the exact same video.
Brad Woodhouse, president of pro-Clinton rapid-response group Correct the Record, says the new video proves that Clinton was right all along.
