The secretary of state blasted the lead Republican presidential candidate in remarks today in Paris:
"ISIL, Daesh, is not Islam. And there are courageous Muslims in the Middle East and elsewhere standing up to them. There are people fighting us on it. And we cannot succumb to plunking everybody in the world in one pot -- that is not America. That is not our Constitution.
"And we in our policies have a policy of non-discrimination. And a policy of religious tolerance. And frankly what Mr. Trump has said runs contrary to all that and makes our job of reaching out to people and sharing the real America that much more complicated, that much more difficult. And that's about as diplomatic as I can put it."
Kerry is seated on stage with New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. And the back drop behind the secretary of state reads, International New York Times.
