White House Calls ‘Radical Islamic Terrorism’ a Republican Talking Point

‘Using the term ‘radical Islamic terrorism’ is not a counter-terrorism strategy’

EARNEST: "When you're the president of the United States, and you're focused on keeping the country safe, you don't have that luxury. What you do is you focus on a strategy that will put pressure on ISIL, that's going to make sure that we send a clear message to the Muslims in the United States, that we want their help and protecting their community from efforts -- from ISIL to radicalized vulnerable members of our population. So, the president is focused on a strategy. You have Republicans in the Congress are focused on a talking point."
