Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump is taking far-right hate groups `mainstream`

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. “But, Floridians also chose dissatisfaction with government as their top issue, which likely favors Mr. Trump”.

That’s a lot of visits to a state where the last round of local polling had Trump trailing Hillary Clinton by almost 10 percentage points. “She should be ashamed of herself!”

Trump also likened Clinton’s charges to attacks used by opponents of the successful Brexit campaign, arguing that like Brexit supporters, his supporters wouldn’t be intimidated. “Don’t be fooled” by Trump’s efforts to rebrand, she told voters Thursday, saying the United States faced a “moment of reckoning”.

Campaigning in Reno, Nevada, Clinton scrapped her plans to discuss proposals to boost small businesses in order to focus on what she described as unsafe rhetoric “like nothing we’ve heard before from a nominee. from one of our two major parties”.

So it’s not exactly stunning that Donald Trump is attempting to undermine what a bedrock of Hillary Clinton’s campaign – her support among minority voters, particularly blacks. This June, Trump accused a US federal judge of being biased against him because of his Mexican heritage, which prompted Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan – who endorsed Trump – to accuse Trump of voicing “the textbook definition of a racist comment”.

Clinton said Trump’s questions about her health are an outgrowth of treating “the National Enquirer like Gospel”.

“She paints decent Americans as racists”, he said to angry jeers.

She also pushed back on unfounded accusations from Trump and others she suffers from poor health.

Trump is reinforcing harmful stereotypes and offering a dog whistle to his most hateful supporters.

Trump’s comments came just before Clinton’s speech in Reno, Nev., focused on tying Trump to the alt-right movement. The alt-right is a conspiracy-theory-peddling far-right movement. Another code word for white supremacy. “Nothing more nothing less”, another tweet said.

He met with a group of black and Latino supporters at his Trump Towers in NY early on Thursday. “I’m proud of what they’ve done”.

Many black leaders and voters have dismissed Trump’s message as condescending and intended more to reassure undecided white voters that he’s not racist.

Asked by WMUR in Manchester later Thursday if he wanted white supremacists to vote for him, Trump simply responded, “No”. He added that Trump refused the group’s invitation to speak at its convention.

‘We appear to have taken over the Republican Party, ‘ one white supremacist said.

Before the meeting, several protesters unfurled a banner over a railing in the lobby of Trump Tower that read, “Trump = Always Racist”.
