Sorry – one change by me. Changed ‘says’ to ‘confirms’ because it’s already true.

Subject: Draft hit from this morning: GOP Chairman says Trump’s Muslim ban helps ISIS recruit terrorists

SL: GOP Chairman confirms Trump’s Muslim ban helps ISIS recruit terrorists

Today, GOP Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul confirmed that Trump’s despicable and divisive plan to ban Muslims from the United States would cause a ‘backlash’ and could help ISIS recruit terrorists.

Watch:

Chairman McCaul is correct that Trump is helping ISIS recruit terrorists. Just two days ago, Politifact confirmed<http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/may/20/hillary-clinton/donald-trump-now-being-used-terrorist-propaganda-v/> that ISIS and other terror groups are using clips of Donald Trump in recruiting videos.

“There are many titles you can affix to Donald Trump – sexist, racist, xenophobic, dangerous, liar, etc. – but Republican Chairman McCaul may have come up with a new one: ISIS recruiter. Banning an entire religion from the country not only runs counter to the constitution and our values – it also makes America less safe by straining relations with Muslim communities and helping terrorists recruit, a view confirmed by Republican leaders. The fact that terror groups are using Donald Trump’s words to help recruit more terrorists is just the latest reason why Trump is totally and categorically unfit to be President.” – Eric Walker, DNC Spokesperson
