claiming the obama failed to do enough to prevent the san bernardino terrorist attack, the female terrorist had posted her support for violent jihad online. tom foreman joins us with a reality check. tom? jake, several of the candidates went directly at that saying if only security experts in the government had looked at social media closer, they could have stopped it. listen. we didn t monitor the facebook posting of the female san bernardino terrorist because the obama dhs thought it would be inappropriate. every parent in america is checking social ya and every employer, but our government can t do it? this lady was posting things on facebook. yet, we were restricted from looking. the problem with all of that is that government officials tell us there is no policy against looking at social media. it s just not done a terrible amount of the time. it s not really common because they don t think it works
islam, isis, terrorism, racial discrimination, and immigration. those are the top five most discussed topics on facebook. the top five candidates, of course, donald trump is number one. ted cruz is two. this is the first time jeb bush has been in the top five. people on facebook think jeb bush did himself a service in this debate, and then sharing that number three is rubio, and number five is ben carson. and here is the top social moment on facebook right here. the second exchange between trump and bush where bush said trump you re not going to insult your way to the white house. that was the most discussed conversation on facebook. thanks, don, from the facebook lounge to the twitter attic. we re back with our panel. let me ask you a question,
in san bernardino. she posted on facebook years ago calling for jihad and yet dhs did not look at social media. they have a policy in place not to look at social media which is public. it s just looking to see what she has said publicly to the world because they think it would be inappropriate. political correctness does not make sense how is that not just privacy issues. the message she wrote was first of all an under a pseudonym and in a private message she was saying back and forth with some friends. if we are not capable of understanding we downtown have access to the facebook private messages to people. this wasn t posted on her page. we should be directing our attention to focusing on radical
on the democrat side to be barack obama because we thought he would be easier to beat. boy were we wrong. all right, guys, thanks so much, dana, s.e., dan, really appreciate it. we are just one day away from this final republican presidential debate. wolf blitzer is going to be the moderator when the gop candidates face-off here at the venetian in las vegas tomorrow night. and maybe you have some questions for the candidates. you get to participate here. go ahead and send them to us at facebook.com/cnn and comment on the very top post. now, coming up, what will happen when ted cruz and donald trump stand shoulder to shoulder at the cnn republican debate? are they going to play nice, or are the gloves going to come off? and later, a man who lives near the nation s capital is accused of taking thousands of dollars from isis to fund an attack.
