Eleven advocacy organizations on Thursday accused former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of sending “mixed messages” on Islamophobia by denouncing fellow 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump’s racist rhetoric, yet retaining retired general Wesley Clark as a campaign surrogate—despite his previous call to intern some Muslim-Americans.
Clark, a longtime ally to Clinton, recently spoke in Iowa on her behalf for Veteran’s Day.
This is the same retired general who, in a July interview with MSNBC, called for “disloyal Americans” to be placed in internment camps in the style of the World War II era.
