Hillary Clinton calls Trump, Cruz 'dangerous' when it comes to fighting terrorism
Fresh off her win in Arizona, Hillary Clinton told supporters in Seattle that the "stakes get higher by the day," and the attacks in Brussels remind Americans that we "live in a complex and dangerous world, and we need a commander-in-chief who can provide leadership that is strong, smart, and above all steady in taking on these threats."
The United States does not need leaders who "incite more fear in the face of terror," Clinton said. "America doesn't panic," she continued. "We don't build walls or turn our backs on our allies. We can't throw out everything we know about what works and what doesn't, and start torturing people. What Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and others are suggesting is not only wrong, it's dangerous." This year's election is "consequential," she said, and her campaign is "about both growing and sharing the promise of America."
The candidates hold "fundamentally different views of our country, our values, and our future," she said, and Clinton's goal is to give "back the hope that every American should have — that their hard work will get them ahead, will enable them to have a better future, will give their children and yes, their grandchildren, the chance to live up to their God-given potential."
