Republican frontrunner Donald Trump said that “Islam hates us” on Wednesday, and when pressed on the broad statement by Anderson Cooper, he commissioned Cooper to go find out, telling him “you’re going to have to figure that out.”
Trump appeared on Cooper’s CNN program Wednesday night, and the subject of national security arose.
“Do you think Islam is at war with the West?” Cooper asked.
“I think Islam hates us,” Trump said. “There’s something there … there’s a tremendous hatred there. There’s a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it. There is an unbelievable hatred of us.”
“In Islam itself?” Cooper asked.
“You’re going to have to figure that out, OK? You’ll get another Pulitzer, right?” Trump said. “But you’re going to have to figure that out. But there is a tremendous hatred, and we have to be very vigilant. We have to be very careful, and we can’t allow people coming into this country who have this hatred of the United States and of people that are not Muslim.”
