Clinton also cited Trump’s decision to hire Stephen Bannon, head of the right-wing Breitbart website, to oversee his campaign. It was meant to pre-empt Trump’s halting attempt to soften his image among both racial minorities and the moderate suburban voters who dislike how he has treated them.

Her comments followed Clinton’s speech in Nevada in which she accused rival Donald Trump of unleashing the “radical fringe” within the Republican Party, including anti-Semites and white supremacists. She said the foundation’s charitable programs has been “in line with American interests and values” and must continue, perhaps through partnerships with other organizations. ” And correspondent David Wright took it from there”.

“Hillary Clinton is going to try to accuse this campaign, and the millions of decent Americans who support this campaign, of being racists”, Trump predicted at his rally in Manchester, New Hampshire.

During an event Thursday afternoon, Hillary Clinton slammed Donald Trump and his ideas as “profoundly unsafe”.

Asked if he believed Clinton personally hated African Americans, Trump said: “Her policies are bigoted because she knows they’re not going to work”.

The liberal bias by ABC and NBC is blindingly obvious in this case. American presidents from Truman, to Reagan, to Bush, to Clinton, to Obama have rejected the kind of approach Trump is taking on Russian Federation. And they were brazen enough not to hide it, and even joined Clinton.

On the other hand, a quarter of Trump’s supporters actually support him compared to almost two-thirds who are voting for him mainly to oppose Clinton.

“Looking back, I shouldn’t have used those words, and I wouldn’t use them today”, Clinton said earlier this year about her “superpredator” remark.

But Trump insisted Thursday that his message had already “had a tremendous impact” on the polls. She has contrasted Trump with former Republican presidential candidates John McCain and Bob Dole, and former President George W. Bush, praising their decisive steps to counter racism and anti-Muslim sentiment.

Trailing in nearly every swing state, he signalled this week that he is thinking about abandoning his key promise to deport all 11 million illegal immigrants.

“We will steadfastly reject bigotry and hatred and oppression in all of its ugly forms”, Trump said. “It’s a exhausted, disgusting argument and it’s so totally predictable”. “We’re living in her head rent-free, and that must terrify the political insiders who want to keep things exactly the way they are”.

The Trump campaign issued a statement after the ad came out from campaign surrogate Mark Burns, an African-American pastor, calling it a “new low” and “horrific”. Obama has endorsed Clinton’s current White House bid and campaigned with her.

The “alt-right” belief that whites are a persecuted minority, she argued, is a conspiracy theory.
