Donald Trump is claiming that the gunman in the Orlando mass shooting was an Afghanistan native — even though the suspect was born in New York City.

Trump made the claim in his speech in Manchester, New Hampshire Monday. He said the gunman, who has been identified as Omar Mateen, was “born an Afghan.” The shooter was born in Queens to parents who emigrated from Afghanistan.

It’s possible Trump misspoke. The false claim that Mateen was born in Afghanistan is not included in Trump’s prepared remarks distributed by the campaign during Monday’s speech.

No. You're not paying attention. He said "born an Afghan." He's claiming the right to not only ban Muslims from entering the country from the Middle East, but round up the ones of Middle Eastern heritage that were born here. This is a race thing for the Aryan Trump. What ethnic group is next on his list?

Hillary Clinton is calling on Americans to “get back to the spirit of 9/12,” the day after the worst attacks on U.S. soil, when Americans came together with the world to condemn terrorism.

The spirit of 9/12 was: Let's kill Iraqis! Who are we going to invade this time?

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee noted that then-Republican President George W. Bush traveled to a Muslim community center six days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and told Americans then that any retribution against Muslim Americans would not stand.

Well, he lied, didn't he?

If elected, Clinton said she would push for laws that prevent people on America’s no-fly list from buying weapons.

She says the attack shows that the Islamic State cannot be contained but must be defeated. She says the country faces a “twisted ideology and a poisoned psychology” that inspires the so-called “lone wolf” and vows to make identifying and prosecuting these types of attackers a top priority.

Not all that different from the Trump, in other words.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
