HILLARY GETS NASTY IN ‘RACE’ FOR PREZ
Hill’s race-card vid stars KKK & Nazis
In the most incendiary attack yet on her GOP rival, Hillary Clinton released a Web video Thursday portraying Donald Trump as the candidate of the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
“If Trump wins, they could be running the country,” warns the video, which preceded a speech Clinton delivered in Reno, Nev., charging Trump was “taking hate groups mainstream.”
The video features members of the KKK praising Trump and a person giving the Nazi salute at what appeared to be a Trump rally.
“The reason a lot of Klan members like Donald Trump is because a lot of what he believes, we believe in,” a whiterobed man identified as the imperial wizard of the Rebel Brigade Knights of the KKK is quoted as saying in the video.
The Clinton campaign posted the video online, not as a paid ad.
During the Nevada speech, Clinton even blamed Trump for school bullying.
“Parents and teachers are already worried about what they’re calling the ‘Trump Effect.’ Bullying and harassment are on the rise in our schools, especially targeting students of color, Muslims and immigrants,” she said.
Campaigning in New Hampshire, Trump tried to blunt her attacks.
“The news reports are that Hillary Clinton is going to try to accuse this campaign . . . they’ll accuse decent Americans who support this campaign — your campaign — of being racists, which we’re not,” Trump said.
“When Democratic policies fail, they are left with only this one tired argument: ‘You’re racist. You’re racist. You’re racist.’ It’s a tired, disgusting argument.”
At her rally, Clinton compared Trump’s policies to those of ISIS.
“Under Donald Trump, America would distinguish itself as the only country in the world to impose a religious test at the border,” Clinton said.
“Now, come to think of it, there actually may be one other place that does that — the so-called Islamic State.”
