After a van rammed through a Barcelona crowd on Thursday, killing 13 people and injuring more than 100 more, even the Prime Minister of Spain called it “jihadi terrorism.” And it wasn’t much of a stretch, considering their backgrounds and the fact that ISIS even called the perpetrators “soldiers of the Islamic State.”
So when Hillary Clinton decided to address the issue with a tweet, would it have been all that much to ask her to be a bit more specific?
Barcelona, you have our resolve and support in the face of this cowardly attack. We stand together against terrorism wherever it strikes.

After all, she was REALLY specific after last weekend’s events in Charlottesville, VA…
My heart is in Charlottesville today, and with everyone made to feel unsafe in their country.

But the incitement of hatred that got us here is as real and condemnable as the white supremacists in our streets.

Every minute we allow this to persist through tacit encouragement or inaction is a disgrace, & corrosive to our values.

Now is the time for leaders to be strong in their words & deliberate in their actions.

We will not step backward. If this is not who we are as Americans, let’s prove it.

Given Mrs. Clinton’s propensity towards specificity, even when all the facts hadn’t come in (like the violence that also came from the brick-throwing ‘alt-left’ antifa), would specifying ISLAMIC terrorism have been too hard?
Apparently so. But the fact wasn’t lost on many, who expressed their sentiments mercilessly via Twitter:

Notice how Hillary didn't condemn ISLAM and said 'cowardly attack' yet condemns white supremacists. Why? Because Islam funds her. https://t.co/u23KEO3SzG

Hillary couldn't even bring herself to condemn ISIS. Why? B/c she supports ISIS and everything they stand for. The destruction of the West. https://t.co/u23KEO3SzG

Is this non-specific condemnation not what you've been giving @POTUS stick over lately?

This from the mouth of the disgraceful woman who opened the door to ISIS in Libya. And she had the same plan for Syria. Go to HELL! https://t.co/Pk5xBgK8rm
