In emails revealed by WikiLeaks, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman wanted mass shooters to be white and was upset that the media reported the name of an Islamic terrorist who was involved in the San Bernardino terrorist attack that killed 14.
The email, released by WikiLeaks in October 2016, was part of WikiLeaks series publishing The Podesta Emails after they were given to WikiLeaks by an unconfirmed source — some believe it was Russia while others believe the emails were leaked from an insider.
“The email chain began on Dec. 2, when digital operative Matt Ortega forwarded a tweet from MSNBC host Christopher Hayes that named one of the shooters in the San Bernardino, Calif., attack as Sayeed Farook,” Fox News reported. “Consultant Karen Finney forwarded the email to Podesta, commenting, ‘Damn.’”
Podesta responded to the email by writing, “Better if a guy named Sayeed Farouk [sic] was reporting that a guy named Christopher Hayes was the shooter.”
Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, murdered 14 people and injured 22 others in a horrifying Islamic terrorist attack at a holiday party at the Inland Regional Center — a gun free zone.
“But Podesta’s written lament of the shooter’s ethnicity underscores a long-running aversion in the Clinton campaign — and many in the Democratic party at large — to associating terrorist acts with any aspect of the Islamic religion,” Fox News added.
During the 2016 presidential election, reports surfaced that indicated Clinton could have resettled up to one million Muslim migrants during her first-term in office if she were elected.
