Clinton: Don't get swayed by GOP 'fear tactics and scare mongering'



Reno, Nevada (CNN)Hillary Clinton asked voters here in Nevada on Monday to not be swayed by Republicans "fear tactics and scare mongering and inflammatory rhetoric" on terrorism.

She told the fired up audience that she shakes her head at what Republicans are saying about fighting ISIS and protecting the United States from another attack.

Clinton's comments come days after Republican front-runner Donald Trump suggested that he saw video of "thousands of people ... cheering" in New Jersey as the World Trade Center towers fell during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack. Trump has also suggested compelling all Muslims in America to register for a national database.

Trump has also suggested compelling all Muslims in America to register for a national database.

"I don't think it is smart for us to act like we are waging war on every Muslim in the world," Clinton said. "That is not smart."

"These terrorists are killers, they are thugs, they are criminals, they need to be treated like that, not elevated as thought they are representing a religion because even if though they claim to, they are not," she said, speaking at E.L. Pine Middle School in Reno.

Clinton, who spent the day in northern Nevada, revisited a speech she delivered earlier this month on defeating ISIS.
