Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says Democratic rival Hillary Clinton is a “bigot” and that she’ll do nothing for the African-American and Hispanic communities.
“Hillary Clinton is a bigot who sees people of color only as votes - not as human beings worthy of a better future,” Mr. Trump said at a rally in Mississippi Wednesday
“She’s going to do nothing for African-Americans. She’s going to do nothing for the Hispanics,” Mr. Trump said.
“She’s only going to take care of herself, her husband, her consultants, her donors,” he said.
Mrs. Clinton responded to the remark by saying Mr. Trump is “taking a hate movement mainstream.”
“He’s bringing it to our communities and our country, and someone who’s questioned the citizenship of the first African-American president, who has courted white supremacists, who’s been sued for housing discrimination against communities of color, who’s attacked a judge for his Mexican heritage and promised a mass deportation force is someone who is very much pedaling bigotry and prejudice and paranoia,” Mrs. Clinton said in an interview on CNN Wednesday.
