When Cooper asked if he is saying Clinton is personally bigoted, Trump continued to give him a runaround.

“I read and hear some people say that his bluster and bigotry is overheated campaign rhetoric – an outrageous person saying outrageous things for attention”, Clinton said.

All Americans, regardless of party, should be concerned, Clinton argued to her Reno audience. “You have no job”. He was joined in MS by Nigel Farage, one of the architects of Britain’s push to leave the European Union — a movement that succeeded, in part, because voters sought to block the influx of foreigners into the United Kingdom.

Trump has said Clinton does not have the “strength and stamina” to be president.

She also criticized Trump’s association with his new campaign CEO and former Breitbart executive Stephen K. Bannon, using language that was quite similar to something said in Philadelphia last month. Bernie Sanders calling it “a racist term” during a debate. It also shows headlines about a racial discrimination lawsuit the NY real estate mogul faced in the 1970s, Reuters reported, and a recording of comments he made in 2011. “I think she has been extremely bad for Hispanics…”

Clinton delivered a blistering speech on Thursday, charging that Trump has embraced the alt-right and its members’ racist and xenophobic beliefs. “Look at the poverty, look at the rise in poverty, look at the rise in violence”.

“These are racist ideas, race-baiting ideas, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-women – all key tenets making up the emerging racist ideology known as the alt-right. a fringe element that has effectively taken over the Republican Party”, Clinton said.

In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Clinton denounced Trump’s bid to appeal to minority voters, blaming him for “taking a hate movement mainstream”. He said he was still weighing what would become of the 11 million people already in the country illegally.

The tweet has since been shared more than 7,500 times with comments ranging from agreement to outrage.

“We’re going to make it clear: You don’t get to the White House unless you travel through the doors of the NAACP”, Brooks said. “We’re going to stop the drugs from coming in”.
