Trump brushes off militant recruiting video citing his words
Donald Trump, the Republican presidential contender brushed off the appearance of an African Islamic militant group's video to recruit Americans that shows him calling for Muslims to be banned from coming to the US. On Sunday TV news shows, Trump said it's no surprise America's enemies would exploit comments of a presidential front-runner like himself.
"The world is talking about what I've said," the billionaire real estate mogul told CBS' "Face the Nation" in an interview taped Friday. "And now, big parts of the world are saying, Trump is really right, at least identifying what's going on. And we have to solve it. But you're not going to solve the problem unless you identify it."
The 51-minute video is by al-Shabab, al-Qaida's East Africa affiliate, and showed up Friday on Twitter.
