Anonymous Issues A Warning To Donald Trump, Launches Attack

Anonymous uploaded a video addressing Trump to YouTube on Wednesday, making it clear to the Republican candidate that he is now on their radar.

“Donald Trump, It has come to our attention that you want to ban all Muslims to enter the United States. This policy is going to have a huge impact,” a person wearing a Guy Fawkes mask in the video says robotically.

“This is what ISIS wants. The more Muslims feel sad, the more ISIS feel that they can recruit them. The more United States appears to be targeting Muslims not just radical Muslims,” the masked person says.

“Donald Trump think twice before you speak anything, you have been warn Mr Donald Trump, We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. Expect us,” the masked voice ends.

One of the Twitter accounts for the hacker group said that it briefly took down a website for Trump Towers in New York on Friday, saying that it was a “statement against racism and hatred.”
