Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said in an Israeli television interview on Thursday that terrorists are praying for her competitor, Donald Trump, to become the US president.
“She said, ‘Look, I’m generalizing here, but a lot of his support is coming from this odd place, that he’s given a platform to the alt-right and white nationalists, ‘” Kaine said.
Trump, speaking on Friday at the conservative Value Voters summit in Washington, painted Clinton as a “massive failure” while she was America’s top diplomat from 2009 to early 2013, blaming her for the current turmoil in the Middle East. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric.
He added that millions of Americans support the Republican nominee because, “they are sick of corrupt career politicians like Hillary Clinton”.
According to a Reuters poll in the spring, about 50% of Trump’s supporters described African-Americans as more violent and more criminal than whites, and 40% described them as “lazier” than whites.
Clinton then said some of these people were “irredeemable” and “not America”.
A new Hillary Clinton ad is turning to Republicans to make the case that Donald Trump is unfit for the Oval Office.
“Last night I was ‘grossly generalistic, ‘ and that’s never a good idea”.
“As the hashtag “#BasketOfDeplorables” began to trend on Twitter, with many expressing outrage at Clinton’s words, Trump said in a statement that he was not surprised that Clinton had said it because he thinks that’s the way she really feels.
This is a developing story.
Mr.Trump added that President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation has “great control” over his country which is contrasting to Obama.
Other Trump supporters broke out Photoshop and offered up some creative visual editing to make their opinions known.
Although Clinton has accused Trump of racism before, she has never explicitly called him a racist.
“Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of unbelievable, hard working people”, Trump wrote on Twitter.
Trump’s campaign quickly pounced on the remarks. It’s deplorable that he’s attacked a federal judge for his ‘Mexican heritage, ‘ bullied a Gold Star family due to their Muslim faith, and promoted the lie that our first black president is not a true American.
Trump took the stage Friday before a fiery crowd of supporters who had just heard a blistering and vitriolic critique of Clinton’s email use from Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and federal prosecutor who loudly argued that Clinton had committed “crimes” and should have been prosecuted.
