Clinton to accuse Trump of embracing nativist political movement

She’ll try to make the case in a speech Thursday in Nevada. “He is taking a hate movement mainstream”. There’s no one way to define its ideology, but it is often associated with efforts on the far right to preserve “white identity”, oppose multiculturalism and defend “Western values”.

Differences among racial and political groups remain stark. Illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes get to stay, collecting Social Security benefits, skipping the line. “I think this is a mistake”. We rated Trump’s statement that Clinton plans to “massively increase” admissions of refugees, including a 500 percent increase of Syrians, Mostly True.

According to CBS News, Trump continued: ‘She’s going to do nothing for African Americans. “Nothing more nothing less”, another tweet said.

He said her speech is aimed at distracting from questions about her family foundation and private emails use.

“I don’t think it’s super important”.

Arguably, no other issue has animated the GOP base more than immigration over the past decade since former Republican President George W. Bush, a former border governor, pushed for a similar bill in 2007. “You have the right to walk outside without being shot”.

Gottfried says there are a lot of more moderate people in the movement as well.

Despite visits to MI in recent weeks, Republican Donald Trump continues to trail Democrat Hillary Clinton in the state by a wide margin, with a poll released Thursday showing her ahead by 7 percentage points even though many voters remain concerned about her trustworthiness.

Trump says that Clinton is trying to accuse all of his millions of supporters, including those attending the New Hampshire rally where he is speaking, “of being racists, which we’re not”.

However, the Manhattan real-estate mogul has declined to clarify whether he would still forcibly deport the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States – a major tenet of his immigration platform – after he suggested earlier this week that he was “softening” on the idea and also made a series of comments that indicated a path to legalisation was likely as long as they paid taxes accumulated from their time living here illegally. This June, Trump accused a USA federal judge of being biased against him because of his Mexican heritage, which prompted Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan – who endorsed Trump – to accuse Trump of voicing “the textbook definition of a racist comment”.

Trump also has retweeted a number of messages from Twitter users with questionable profiles, including one with the handle @WhiteGenocideTM. Among likely voters in the four-way race, Clinton led Trump 39-36, with Johnson at 7 percent and Stein at 3 percent.

But Conway argued on Thursday that Trump isn’t abandoning any position, saying he “is not for amnesty”. But he added that Trump isn’t alt-right and it would be unfair to “tar Trump by doing a guilt-by-association thing”.

Trump piles on the absurdity by saying he would re-import numerous illegal immigrants once they had been deported, which makes his policy a poorly disguised amnesty. “Did he say soften?” he asked reporters, unable to respond when asked how he felt about Trump’s appearance on Fox.

A little over an hour earlier in Jackson, Mississippi, Trump issued his bluntest and most provocative characterization yet of Clinton as part of his accusations that she treats minorities, and black people in particular, simply as votes to be counted.
