Independent Candidate McMullin Live-Tweets Trump Speech: ‘Gives Aid and Comfort to ISIS’
CIA veteran Evan McMullin, the recently-announced conservative independent presidential candidate, live-tweeted Donald Trump‘s foreign policy speech today, and boy did he have some problems.
Trump touched on issues like ideological vetting of immigrants to a “commission on radical Islam” to support for carrying out a war crime.
McMullin was, needless to say, pretty alarmed by his remarks:
What @realDonaldTrump doesn't understand is that dictators create terrorists. They are two sides of the same coin. I've been there. I know.

.@realDonaldTrump vilifies all Muslims as terrorists because he doesn't understand how to defeat Islamist terrorism. I do.

.@realDonaldTrump would rather advance the ideas of dictators than those of democracy and basic human rights.

How does @realDonaldTrump intend to work with our allies against terrorists when he's insulted them all?

In @realDonaldTrump's "new approach," America turns its back on the universal cause of freedom and allows terrorism to thrive.

.@realDonaldTrump gives aid and comfort to ISIS when he undermines America's core ideals.

"Extreme", @realDonaldTrump? You sound more like ISIS than an American president.
— Evan McMullin (@Evan_McMullin) August 15, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump doesn't know the first thing about high value terrorist targets. I've helped take them off the battlefield.
— Evan McMullin (@Evan_McMullin) August 15, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump has no real strategy and no solutions for defeating Islamist terrorism and it shows.

Last week McMullin called Trump an “inhuman” authoritarian. Now we’re up to “you sound more like ISIS.”
It’s only August.
