“He 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”, the Democratic nominee said.

In a rare press conference, she said on Thursday morning: “That’s how he talks about distinguished men and women who’ve spent their lives serving our country, sacrificing for us”.
Trump replied, “Well, I think when he calls me brilliant, I’ll take the compliment, OK? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it”.
It’s clear, though, that some supporters have taken Trump’s comments to heart.
Trump struck back on Saturday, posting on Twitter: “Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of awesome, hard working people”. But Ryan, the government’s top Republican says he doesn’t want to get sucked into every Trump controversy. “Vladimir Putin is violating the sovereignty of neighboring countries”.
“No one who wants to assume the responsibility of being president and commander in chief should be making the kind of reckless and risky statements, and identifying with a regime that has some aggressive tendencies toward our interests, our values, our friends and allies”, Clinton continued.
Clinton’s campaign accused Trump of relying on “childish insults” during the Philadelphia speech.
Clinton was also highly critical of Trump’s characterization of what he said he has been told during intelligence briefings he’s received since becoming the Republican nominee. “And she wouldn’t be prosecuted”.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump once famously said he could shoot someone on New York’s Fifth Avenue and not lose voters. “It’s like incredible”, he said. And he has lifted them up.
According to the Trump Campaign, in last three months, 2.1 million people from across the nation have donated. She criticized him for “trash-talking” American generals and said it was “scary” to hear him praise Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Clinton said she didn’t respond because she “couldn’t afford to get distracted”.
Like many of you, I have already made my election decision.
Clinton has made similar comments in the past. “I think maybe the Democrats are putting that out”, Mr Trump said, adding: “I hope that if they are doing something, I hope that somebody’s going to be able to find out, so they can end it, because that would not be appropriate at all”.
The White House said it had no comment on Trump’s remarks. So you’re probably thinking: Here we go with another sob story about the now-defunct Trump University and some former students who wail about being scammed and never getting the education they were promised when they paid their tuitions. Both candidates believe they have the upper hand, with Clinton contrasting her experience with Trump’s unpredictability and the Republican arguing that Americans anxious about their safety will be left with more of the same if they elect Obama’s former secretary of state.
The Democratic presidential contender spoke Thursday to reporters outside her campaign plane in White Plains, New York.

Trump, meanwhile, did not address Clinton’s comment at his only scheduled public appearance on Saturday, a funeral for social conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly.
