Story highlights On Saturday, Clinton claimed that ISIS is "going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists"

Clinton didn't back away from the claim at a town hall event on Tuesday

Keota, Iowa (CNN) Hillary Clinton on Tuesday stood by her claim that ISIS uses videos of Donald Trump to recruit terrorists, but offered more explanation than she did when she first made the comment over the weekend at the Democratic debate.

On Saturday, Clinton claimed that ISIS is "going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists." The claim was roundly panned, with fact checks labeling it false and Republicans knocking her for lying.

But Clinton didn't back away from the claim at a town hall event here, explain instead that videos of Trump are regularly played on Arabic television.

"You know, people around the world pay close attention to our elections. And if you go on Arabic television, as we have, and you look at what is being blasted out with video of Mr. Trump being translated into Arabic, 'No Muslims coming into the United States,' other kinds of derogatory, defamatory statements, it is playing into the hands of the violent jihadists," she said. "There is nothing they want more than to be able to claim that the United States is against Islam and against Muslims and that then lights an even bigger fire for them to make their propaganda claims through social media and other ways."
