“I appreciate the concerns that people have expressed and that’s why I have made it clear that if I’m successful in November we are going to be taking additional steps”, she said.

These remarks come after the businessman called Hillary Clinton a “bigot” this Wednesday, claiming that she is trying to take “a hate movement mainstream”, something which is outside the norm of US politics, also adding that she “paints decent Americans as racists”. “He’s taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over one of America’s two major political parties”, she said and added “there’s been a steady stream of bigotry” coming from the campaign since its launch past year.
“To Hillary Clinton, and to her donors and advisers pushing her to spread her smears and her lies about decent people, I have three words”, he said. Even some supporters have said Clinton faces a perception problem over the issue.
According to a new poll from the Associated-Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, most Americans see Clinton’s gender playing a role in the campaign, with 37 percent saying her gender will help her chances of being elected president, 29 percent arguing it will hurt her, and 33 percent thinking it won’t make a difference. “The people who want strong borders are not racists”.
But Trump was saddled with another inflammatory revelation Friday when court papers surfaced showing that an ex-wife of Trump’s new campaign CEO, Stephen Bannon, said Bannon made anti-Semitic remarks when the two battled over sending their daughters to private school almost a decade ago. “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”.
She also insisted that there was no conflict of interest when she was secretary of state, nor was she “influenced” by the foundation.
And Clinton was unsparing, both in her denunciations of Trump’s appeals to the alt-right and in her descriptions of the movement and its ideologies.
The position change of Trump seems to be too convenient while the allegations over the Clinton Foundation have dealt a new blow to the Democratic nominee, leaving small room for them to swiftly enhance their popularities among voters, local analysts say. “This is part of a broader story – the rising tide of hardline, right-wing nationalism around the world”. About two weeks after its release, he announced his candidacy with a speech in which he warned that many undocumented immigrants are drug dealers and rapists. She told ABC News that she wants Trump “to dump whomever the moron is who told him Americans are staying up at night anxious about how people who broke our laws entering, broke our laws staying here, broke our laws taking jobs, how comfortable they are”.
“I do think it hurts her”.
That’s a critical point.
Some Republicans fear such a pivot will damage his base, which includes the “alt-right”, a group that mostly lurks on the web and seeks to distinguish itself from mainstream conservatism by openly embracing racist and anti-Semitic policies.
“So no one should have any illusions about what’s really going on here”.

There was little subtlety in Clinton’s speech.
