Amal Clooney News: Human Rights Lawyer Rips Donald Trump A New One [VIDEO]
Yikes. It looks like you can add Amal Clooney as another celebrity who has absolutely nothing positive to say about Republican candidate frontrunner Donald Trump. In fact, the Human Rights lawyer made it pretty clear that the Presidential hopeful has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to statements about the Muslim community.
According to the BBC on Tuesday, Clooney basically ripped Trump a new one for the Islamaphobic comments he's so far made on the campaign trail this year. George Clooney's wife made the comments while discussing one of her ongoing cases at the European Court of Human Rights. The British-born lawyer is representing journalist and Azerbaijan prisoner Khadija Ismayilova.
Even though she wasn't directly asked about Trump, Amal said, "If you actually look at what [Trump] specifically says in that now infamous speech about Muslims, he kept saying, 'They only want jihad; they don't believe in our way of life; they don't respect our system.'"
She added, "And when he says 'they'... And, you know, you watch the media coverage afterwards and people should've been saying, 'Do you mean the 1.5 billion people around the world who fit that description? Do you mean the people who are U.S. citizens, who are members of your military, the vast majority of whom are not extremist or violent in any way?'"
Trump, for his part, has not made any comments about Amal's criticism, although there's no doubt that it will only be a matter of time.
So far Trump is leading in front of his opponents Ted Cruz and John Kasich in clinching the Republican nomination. Keep up with Enstars for all the latest news on the entire 2016 race to the White House right here.
