Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump continue to ratchet up racism debate

“I am reaching out to everyone, Republicans, Democrats, independents, everyone who is as troubled as I am by the bigotry and divisiveness of Donald Trump’s campaign”, she told MSNBC, adding she was asking “fair-minded Americans to repudiate this kind of divisive demagoguery”. “Donald Trump has a history of not only demeaning and talking down to African-Americans, but he has been sued for discrimination against communities of color”. But for the ride, Ernst will be joined by veterans and soldiers – not the Republican presidential nominee.

Trump, who has been reaching out to black voters in recent weeks, said during a rally in MS on Wednesday that Clinton “is a bigot who sees people of color only as votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future”.

“Media outlets throughout the country are seeking to get access to the presidential candidates, and we have been afforded that opportunity with Mr. Trump and hopeful that we will get to interview Mrs. Clinton as well”, Jackson said in a statement. “If you look at what’s happening to the inner cities, you look at what’s happening to African Americans and Hispanics in this country, where she talks all the time”.

Clinton’s presidential campaign said the ad, released a day after she gave a speech accusing Trump of fueling America’s “radical fringe”, would air in the hotly contested states of Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Trump’s pivot turned out to be a 360-degree pirouette: Back into the mud, where he feels most at home.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Clinton vigorously defended her family’s foundation against Donald Trump’s criticism on Friday and declared she’s confident there will be no major further accusations involving the foundation, her emails or anything else that could undermine her chances of defeating him in November.

Clinton aides expect the former secretary of state to shine in the policy discussions, given her decades of experience working on domestic and foreign policy. “Don’t be fooled” by Trump’s efforts to rebrand, she told voters Thursday, saying the United States faced a “moment of reckoning”.

Trump has vowed to kick more than 10 million undocumented immigrants out of the country using a “deportation force” and to build a wall along the USA border with Mexico. Trump has made the mass deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants one of the cornerstone proposals of his campaign.

Clinton argued that Trump’s campaign stoked hatred of minorities.

If elected, Clinton says she’ll take additional steps to make sure there are no conflicts of interest between her administration and the global charitable network founded by her husband.

But the fact this is the first item Trump is pointing to in order to make his Hillary’s the real racist argument is telling. One aide said it was possible more than one person would be tapped.
