‘Donald Trump could be a recruitment poster for ISIL,’ Gov. Andrew Cuomo says
- 8 years ago
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has added his voice to a growing chorus of critics of Donald Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States.
"I believe it is actually fomenting the growth of ISIL; Donald Trump could be a recruitment poster for ISIL because he is fanning the flames of hate," Cuomo said on CNN's "New Day."
He added: "No Muslims in the United States.
One billion Muslims were just alienated with one sentence."
A number of political leaders and prominent Muslims have criticized Trump's call for a “total and complete” ban on Muslims entering the country, an idea the GOP presidential hopeful presented less than 24 hours after President Obama urged tolerance in an Oval Office address and said the fight against terrorists should not “be defined as a war between America and Islam.”
