'Dilbert' Cartoonist Says ISIS May Want Hillary Clinton For President

"If there are no sponsored terror attacks before Election Day, it means ISIS prefers Clinton."

Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams’ vocal support for Donald Trump is getting even more bizarre.

First, he pledged to join a resistance movement and help kill the GOP presidential nominee if he were elected president and behaved like Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

Now, he’s shared yet another strange election-related remark: 

Adams seems to think that the absence of terrorist attacks in Western countries before Nov. 8 must indicate that the Islamic State “prefers” Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for president.

Unsurprisingly, many on the internet were not enthused, with multiple Twitter users criticizing Adams for his statement on Tuesday.

He dismissed his critics as supporters of the former secretary of state and “Clinton bullies” in response. 

Adams switched from endorsing Clinton to supporting Trump last month. He insisted he had only supported Clinton for his “personal safety” because he lives in California and it “isn’t safe to be viewed as a Trump supporter” there.


Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liarrampant xenophoberacistmisogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.
