But “Trump has built his campaign largely on prejudice and paranoia”, she said, adding: “I won’t stop calling out bigotry and racist rhetoric in this campaign”.

Hillary Clinton came out swinging.
During a televised forum on Wednesday on national security, Mr Trump complimented Mr Putin for having “great control over his country”. But he was unapologetic, saying he was happy to take a compliment from Putin, who once called Trump “very outstanding”.
Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, defended Trump’s appearance to CNN’s Chris Cuomo on “New Day” on Friday, saying that Trump wasn’t criticizing the USA to say the Iraq War was a failure.
The Trump campaign recently lifted a ban on various news outlets, including The Washington Post, which he accused of bias over negative press coverage.
“It’s deplorable that Trump has built his campaign largely on prejudice and paranoia and given a national platform to hateful views and voices, including by retweeting fringe bigots with a few dozen followers and spreading their message to 11 million people”, she said.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will be stopping by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, Sept. 19 – her third appearance on the late-night ratings leader during her run for the presidency.
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton said at a news conference Thursday morning that “every Republican holding or seeking office in this country should be asked if they agree with Donald Trump about [those] statements”.
Clinton reiterated that she had made mistakes in relying on a personal email account and private server as secretary of state and in voting for the 2003 invasion of Iraq as a senator.
Some of those were irredeemable, she said, but they did not represent America.
“But something has to happen”, he said.
Trump then read his own quote from a 2004 Esquire cover story, the earliest – albeit retrospective – proof he’d opposed the Iraq War: “I would never have handled it that way”.
On Wednesday, before a room full of veterans, Trump took his adoration for the former K.G.B. operative to a whole new level, offering effusive praise for the Russian president during an NBC News forum on military policy.
Trump has been criticized frequently for seeming to heap praise on Putin and other strongmen. “The generals have been reduced to rubble”, Trump said.
