Story highlights Clinton, who spoke from a union hall, hit Trump for being simplistic on fighting terrorism

Clinton also turned her focus to Trump's most controversial idea: Banning Muslims from entering the United States

Pittsburgh (CNN) Hillary Clinton on Tuesday offered a point-by-point rebuttal to Donald Trump's plan to combat terrorism, accusing the presumptive Republican nominee of peddling "lies" because "he has to distract us from the fact he has nothing substantive to say."

Americans, Clinton argued here, "don't need conspiracy theories and pathological self-congratulations, we need leadership, common sense and concrete plans."

Clinton, who spoke from a union hall, hit Trump for being simplistic on fighting terrorism and, she said, having only two ideas to address the problem: Using the term "radical Islamic terrorism" and banning Muslims and people from countries with terrorism ties from entering the United States.

"First he is fixated on the words radical Islam. Now I must say, I find this strange. Is Donald Trump suggesting that there are magic words that once uttered will stop terrorists from coming after us?" Clinton said, mocking Trump before saying that she believes "it matters what we do, not just what we say."

Trump has repeatedly slammed Clinton and President Barack Obama for not using the term and did so again on Monday.
