Responding to Trump’s immigration plan to step up deportation, the Clinton campaign said his extreme right-wing agenda “is fueling a unsafe movement of hatred across the country”. “He’s taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over one of America’s two major political parties”. “His disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly unsafe”. Ask yourself: “If he doesn’t respect all Americans, how can he serve all Americans?”

Trump last week accused Clinton of “bigotry” – a term Clinton has occasionally invoked on the trail as well to criticize Trump – but ratcheted up that language Wednesday night.
As Trump strives to temper his hardline anti-immigrant message in a bid to halt collapsing poll numbers, Clinton’s campaign has been at pains to remind voters of the NY tycoon’s more controversial views.
“Trump says that Clinton is trying to accuse all of his millions of supporters, including those attending the New Hampshire rally where he is speaking, “of being racists, which we’re not.
Moreover, earlier this week, the Associated Press reported ‘[m] ore than half the people outside of government who met with [Secretary] Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money – either personally or through companies or groups – to the Clinton Foundation.’ These reports give rise to a perception that access to our State Department’s official resources, were for sale”, Chaffetz states in the letter”.
There were signs that Trump risked angering hard-core supporters who helped him win the nomination. “She should be ashamed of herself”.
She also pushed back on unfounded accusations from Trump and others she suffers from poor health. “I don’t at all”. “More importantly, you don’t get to the White House without addressing the nation’s civil rights agenda”. The new office in Ramat Gan follows existing offices in Jerusalem and Modi’in, with a fourth scheduled to be opened in the West Bank, JTA reports.
Sensing an opportunity, Clinton’s team seized upon the rumor-mongering after the GOP nominee plucked Steve Bannon, the executive chairman of the conservative website Breitbart News, to be his new campaign chairman this month.

“The de facto merger between Breitbart and the Trump Campaign represents a landmark achievement for the ‘Alt-Right, ‘ a fringe element has effectively taken over the Republican Party”, Clinton said.
“She said the vets are essentially just fine”, Trump added.
She said Trump is the first nominee of a major party to stoke and encourage racial hate.
Clinton even used Trump’s attacks on one of his fellow Republicans against him, citing his decision to suggest that Sen.
“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.
“We have our disagreements. Nothing more nothing less”, another tweet said. “I’m honored to have their support”. “If you’re president, you can’t”. For those who vote for me and those who don’t.
“Twenty years ago, when Bob Dole accepted the Republican nomination, he pointed to the exits and told any racists in the party to get out”. “If somebody wants to go the legalization route, what they’ll do is go, leave the country, hopefully come back in, and then we can talk”.
“We need that kind of leadership again”, Clinton said. It also highlights Trump failing to disavow the support in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper.
Trump also rejected the notion that he was embracing the “alt-right” movement. “They’ve been very disrespectful, as far as I’m concerned, to the African-American population in this country”, Trump said.
Trump spokesman Jason Miller described Clinton’s attacks as a “desperation play”.
“That is absurd”, she told CNN.
But in an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Clinton was defiant in her characterization.
Asked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper about reports she’d told the Federal Bureau of Investigation that former secretary of state Colin Powell was the one who advised her to use a personal email account, the Democratic nominee said she did not intend to shift blame. “He’s bringing it to our communities and our country”.
“From the start, Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia”. “That is absurd”, she said. “It’s nothing that Mr. Trump says out on the stump”. Washoe County, where Reno sits, is a key county for any Republican hoping to win Nevada.

Much of the speculation stems from a concussion Clinton sustained in December 2012 after fainting in her final weeks as secretary of state, an episode her doctor has attributed to a stomach virus and dehydration. Her campaign chalks the issues up to a smaller than average number of college educated white voters.
