President Obama Denounces Rhetoric From Donald Trump

President Barack Obama at a speech at the treasury department addressed concerns about terrorism, the Orlando shooting and calls by Republicans to use the term "radical Islam."

Obama said anti-Muslim rhetoric from presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is "not the America we want."

Obama is arguing that treating Muslim-Americans differently won't make the U.S. safer. He said it will make the country less safe by fueling the notion among followers of the Islamic State group that the West hates Muslims.
