Democrats never mentioned terrorism yesterday

“61: Number Of Speeches At The DNC Tonight,” the Republican National Committee wrote. “0: Mentions Of The Global Terrorist Threat Posed By ISIS.”

Was the Democratic discussion of ISIS and Islamic terrorism that thin? Basically, yes.

It’s worth noting that the first night was not intended to have a specific focus on foreign policy, leaving the Democrats with three days left to discuss the issue. And Hillary Clinton — away from the podium in Philadelphia — issued a fairly muscular call for action against ISIS at the annual Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Charlotte, N.C.

“We have to protect ourselves against terrorists,” Clinton told the group. “To do that, we need to lead other countries in stopping ISIS, al-Qaida, and other radical jihadist groups. We shouldn’t leave that to the rest of the world to figure out on their own. That won’t keep us safe.”
