This rhetorical escalation against the Democrat frontrunner was a response to Clinton’s speech about foreign policy on March 23 outlining her plans to fight ISIS in the wake of the terror attacks in Brussels.

“The threat we face from terrorism is real, it is urgent, and it knows no boundaries,” said Clinton in her speech.

She was critical of the proposed policy by Republican candidate Ted Cruz to patrol areas with heavy muslim populations, calling it “wrong” and “counterproductive” to treat Muslims “like criminals.”

She also took a shot at Donald Trump’s proposal to withdraw from NATO as detrimental to U.S. relations with Russia:  

“If Mr. Trump gets his way, it will be like Christmas in the Kremlin.”

Giuliani has not endorsed a candidate for president but had sympathetic words for Cruz and Trump, who he said were the “most specific” in their plans to defeat ISIS.
