“He’s taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican Party”.

“This is a moment of reckoning for every Republican dismayed that the Party of Lincoln has become the Party of Trump”, Clinton said, referring to Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, who issued the Emancipation Proclamation and championed the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution during the Civil War that led to the abolition of slavery in 1865.

He described some Mexican immigrants as “criminals and rapists” in a 2015 speech launching his candidacy and more recently questioned the impartiality of an American-born judge of Mexican heritage.

Asked if he believed Clinton personally hated black people, Trump claimed: “Her policies are bigoted because she knows they’re not going to work”. “Someone detached from reality should never be in charge of making decisions that are as real as they come”. “It’s a exhausted, disgusted argument and is so totally predictable”.

Trump hurled the accusation while reading prepared remarks on a teleprompter at a MS campaign rally on Wednesday.

Cooper continued, “So you’re saying she has hatred or dislike of black people?”

Aides said Clinton’s speech here is an attempt to go on the offensive again against Trump after weeks of mostly lying low as the businessman endured a series of controversies and missteps resulting in unfavorable news coverage and a drop in national and state polls.

“Hillary Clinton isn’t just attacking me”.

Anti-Trump protesters demonstrate outside a meeting between Donald Trump and minority Republicans at Trump Tower, Thursday Aug. 25, 2016, in NY. Breitbart tried to enflame them further.

“Oh, she is”, said Trump. Trump’s efforts were unlikely to draw out minorities in his favour but could reassure some moderate Republicans anxious about his views on race, said Bernard Fraga, a political science professor at Indiana University.

“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. The foundation, which was founded in 2001 by President Bill Clinton after he left the White House and has been widely praised for its work in treating millions of Africans with AIDS, announced last week that it will no longer accept donations from corporations or foreign entities if Hillary is elected to the presidency. It also highlights Trump failing to disavow the support in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper.

At her rally in Reno, Clinton charged that Trump has essentially embraced the ideas of the so-called “alt-right”, an amorphous movement closely tied with white nationalism that has been criticized as racist, misogynistic and anti-Semitic.

“Trump’s missteps, stumbles and gaffes seem to outweigh Clinton’s shaky trust status and perceived shady dealings”.

Trump offered a prebuttal in New Hampshire earlier Thursday, saying that Clinton “paints decent Americans as racists”. This, Mrs Clinton asserted was an insult to black America, which failed to see the success of black leaders, the vibrancy of black-owned business or the strength of the black church.
