Trump stands up for backers even as rally scuffle breaks out
After the interview, Buzzfeed asked Duke about Pence’s comments.
A Trump supporter apparently punched a protester at a rally held at the US Cellular Center in Asheville, North Carolina. An open mike at a Trump rally is a crash course in racial, sexist and homophobic slurs.
Lane Hudson, a gay Clinton supporter and D.C. Democratic activist, was similarly reluctant to articulate how many Trump supporters fall into the definition of “deplorables”, but said the candidate was to right to call them out.
As security escorted out several protesters, a man grabbed one protester around the neck, punched another in the face and slapped at another woman. After Clinton called Trump “temperamentally unfit” for the White House, Trump responded by defending his temperament and assailing hers.
While Clinton has not publicly addressed Gates’ op-ed, Trump took to his favorite medium, Twitter to blast Gates, saying that he has never met him, but that he does not like his work.
Kaine also touched on Clinton’s bout with pneumonia, saying she wasn’t trying to hide the illness but that she just chose to try to power through it. The Trump campaign’s refusal to do so is as cravenly on-brand as ever. She is expected to return to the campaign trail later this week.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Republican Donald Trump has rolled out a new attack line against Hillary Clinton as they enter the final stretch of the presidential race, and it’s a head-turner.
PENCE: No, I’m not in the name-calling business, Wolf.
“Hopefully they’re going to be good – I think they’re going to be good”, he said.
Trump’s comments speculating on Obama’s birthplace have been seen by many as an attempt to delegitimize the nation’s first black president, and have turned off numerous African American voters he is now courting in his bid for the White House.
“These were the people Hillary Clinton so viciously demonized”, Trump said. The episode, caught on video, was attributed to dizziness and dehydration, and led to an acknowledgement that she’d been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier.
Instead, he continued his offensive against his opponent by claiming that she was running a pessimistic campaign of scare tactics. Judging from the Trump campaign’s dismal polling among minorities, there might not be much charity left for him or Pence left to cash in on. “Tonight, I am going to roll out a plan to help our mothers and our families to get affordable quality child care for their children, and my daughter Ivanka is going to be involved”. I served in the Republican caucus.
Hillary Clinton’s running mate says his views on immigration were “definitely” shaped by living in Honduras as a Roman Catholic missionary in the 1980s. In February, another Public Policy Polling poll found one-third of Trump supporters in SC would support banning gay people from entering the United States. According to an Associated Press report in late August, the Republican nominee has only posted seven policy proposals totaling 9,000 words on his website. In contrast, Trump is hoping to play the offensive in blue-collar industrial states in the midwest.
