Statement From HFA Senior Policy Adviser Jake Sullivan On Donald Trump’s Praise For Saddam Hussein


NEW YORK–(ENEWSPF)–July 6, 2016.  On Tuesday, Hillary For America Senior Policy Adviser Jake Sullivan released the following statement in response to Donald Trump’s praise for Saddam Hussein:

“Donald Trump’s praise for brutal strongmen seemingly knows no bounds. He has applauded the strength China showed in the Tiananmen Square massacre, offered admiration for Kim Jong Un’s murderous consolidation of power in North Korea, and consistently lavished praise on Vladimir Putin. Tonight, Trump yet again lauded Saddam Hussein as a great killer of terrorists, noting with approval that he never bothered to read anyone their rights. In reality, Hussein’s regime was a sponsor of terrorism – one that paid families of suicide bombers who attacked Israelis, among other crimes. Trump’s cavalier compliments for brutal dictators, and the twisted lessons he seems to have learned from their history, again demonstrate how dangerous he would be as Commander-in-Chief and how unworthy he is of the office he seeks.”
