A top aide to Hillary Clinton is attacking Donald Trump for his proposal for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”
Huma Abedin, formerly Clinton’s bodywoman and currently her campaign’s vice chair, sent an email to supporters pushing back at Trump. “I’m a proud Muslim,” the subject line of the email stated.
“Donald Trump is leading in every national poll to be the Republican nominee for president. And earlier today, he released his latest policy proposal: to ban all Muslims from entering our country,” Abedin continued.
I’m a proud Muslim — but you don’t have to share my faith to share my disgust. Trump wants to literally write racism into our law books. His Islamophobia doesn’t reflect our nation’s values — it goes far enough to damage our country’s reputation and could even threaten our national security. Unfortunately, Trump is leaning into the kind of fear of progress that very well could help him win the nomination. We have to be ready to stop him. Add your name to stand with Hillary and build a stronger, fairer, more inclusive country together: Thank you, Huma Huma Abedin
