Helping Hillary Trash Trump, Islamic Supremacists For Hillary, Athlete/Entrepreneur Claims Victimhood

by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author:  Helping Hillary Trash Trump -  The #NeverTrump camp finally trotted out a candidate yesterday -- Evan McMullin, a former CIA officer who also spent time as a "volunteer refugee resettlement officer" for the United Nations.

Never mind that ballot deadlines have already passed in most states. Never mind that he is totally unknown and cannot win.

McMullin's candidacy serves one purpose only: To siphon off just enough votes from Trump -- perhaps a point or two -- in a handful of key states in order to deliver the White House to Hillary Clinton.

As MSNBC's Joe Scarborough put it: "I believe . . . based upon the people I've been speaking with that this has more to do with stopping Donald Trump than actually electing the president." Think so, Joe?

Let me help you understand the mindset of the people behind this. One of them is Republican consultant Rick Wilson, who made a very good living advising GOP candidates on how to lose. He wrote an explanation for what he is doing now and concluded:
"She'll [Hillary] nominate liberal Supreme Court justices. We'll lose religious liberty. We'll have our Second Amendment freedoms compromised. Chuck Schumer's immigration bill is going to be so bad it will make many of us beg for the Gang of Eight. However, Trump would be far worse."This is insanity! Wilson's "logic" will in fact destroy the country. Yet he and others are willing to sacrifice your religious liberty, your right to own a gun and a lot more because Trump is not following the typical GOP script on open borders and trade.

Islamic Supremacists For Hillary - At a big rally for Hillary Clinton in Florida yesterday, a prominent attendee was Seddique Mateen, father of the jihadist murderer who killed 49 people in Orlando.

Mr. Mateen, an open supporter of the Afghan Taliban, told a reporter that he is all in for Hillary because Trump has no answers. I wonder what he likes best about Hillary?

Her reckless handling of U.S. secrets? Her insistence that we bring more Muslims into America, advocating a 550% increase in Syrian refugees? Her large list of anti-Israel advisors, including Max Blumenthal? Or, is he just for Hillary because he can't stomach voting for a man whose slogan is "Make America Great Again"?

Other Headlines - The families of two Americans killed in Benghazi filed lawsuits against Hillary Clinton yesterday. Patricia Smith and Charles Woods, parents of Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods, are suing Clinton for the wrongful deaths of their sons and defamation. NBC News has more details here.

Clinton is also fending off suggestions that her "extreme carelessness" in mishandling national security secrets on a private email server may have led to the death of an Iranian nuclear scientist who was executed by the Islamic regime last week.

As Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) explained, "In the emails that were on Hillary Clinton's private server, there were conversations among her senior advisers about this gentleman. That goes to show just how reckless and careless her decision was to put that kind of highly classified information on a private server. I think her judgment is not suited to keep this country safe."

Athlete, Entrepreneur Claims Victimhood - Ibtihaj Muhammad, the hijab-wearing Olympic fencer, has become a national celebrity. Hillary Clinton applauded her for being the first hijab-wearing Muslim athlete on the U.S. Olympic team.

Some commentators suggested that she should have had the honor of carrying the U.S. flag and leading our athletes during the opening ceremonies because she would show our diversity better than Michael Phelps, who is, after all, just another "white guy."

How has Ms. Muhammad responded to all the praise and attention? She said in a recent interview that she feels unsafe "all the time" in America because of growing hostility toward Islam.

But how is it that a Muslim woman on the U.S. Olympic team doesn't feel safe in America? (By the way, she is also an entrepreneur with her own clothing line.) How many Christians feel safe in Muslim countries? How many Christians and Jews are on the Olympic teams of Muslim nations?

This constant refrain that Muslims are oppressed in America is ludicrous. Muslims all over the world are rushing to come here -- desperate to escape their radical co-religionists. Sometime soon I hope to hear from a high-profile Muslim who is not moaning about how difficult life here is because he or she is Muslim.

Incidentally, a review of Ms. Muhammad's tweets by Pamela Geller finds that she regularly castigates America for lynchings and other injustices, and suggested that the real extremists in America are "angry, armed and white."

I'm sure there are Christians all over the world who would gladly take Ms. Muhammad's place if she wanted to go to the Islamic world, where genocide is taking place against Christians and other religious minorities.

Here's some unsolicited advice for Ms. Muhammad. At the Olympic village in Rio, there are plenty of examples of how U.S. Olympic athletes should conduct themselves. For starters, no one is talking about how terrible their life is in the country they represent.

Freestyle swimmer Ryan Held broke down during national anthem. When asked why he was so emotional, Held said, "I've heard the national anthem hundreds of times, but as soon as that played it was just something different. The tears just started rolling down my face."

Or Lilly King, a 19 year-old Hoosier girl, who had to compete against a Russian woman twice accused of taking steroids. After she won the gold medal, narrowly beating the Russian woman, King said, "We can compete clean and still win at the Olympic games."

There is Kathleen Baker, a female swimmer who didn't have to overcome an imaginary hate-filled America, but Crohn's disease. She overcame a debilitating disease to win the silver medal in the 100-meter backstroke.

After winning she said, "I definitely have been through my fair share of adversity. I think it really helps me appreciate the sport even more, knowing that it can be taken away from me. . . I hope I inspired a lot of people today."

But the only athlete I am aware of Hillary Clinton rushing to praise was Ms. Muhammad. I am not aware of Clinton applauding Corey Cogdell-Unrein, the first American woman to win a medal at the games this year. (Clinton probably wouldn't applaud Cogdell-Unrein anyway because she is a trap shooter.)

Here's the bottom line: Muslims all over the world are doing everything they can to come here. But all too often they and/or their children trash America and claim victimhood status. They are encouraged to do so by the political left and they are courted by the likes of Hillary Clinton.
