Clinton turns Trump attacks up to 11
Less than 24 hours after shredding Trump’s foreign policy in a San Diego speech, Hillary Clinton was back on the offensive Friday, hammering the Republican nominee as unfit to hold the office of president at her second rally of the day in Los Angeles.
“President Lincoln said, ‘a house divided against itself cannot stand.’ Donald Trump seems to think that divisiveness is what we need in America, when I believe that is absolutely wrong,” Clinton said. “So I’ve had this privilege of seeing presidents, of knowing how hard this job is, whether I agreed with the decisions they made or not. And that’s why I feel so strongly that we must stand up against this divisive, dangerous, hateful rhetoric coming from Donald Trump.”
She devoted nearly her entire stump speech Friday afternoon to criticizing Trump, attacking his positions on the minimum wage, health care, abortion and income inequality, among others. Clinton devoted special attention to Trump’s immigration plan, conjuring images of government forces storming into immigrant communities, searching for undocumented workers.
The Clinton campaign kicked off its wave of Trump attacks with a 9 a.m. news release Friday from Hillary for America Director of Latino Outreach Lorella Praeli, slamming the GOP nominee’s attacks on a federal judge overseeing a civil fraud case against Trump University.
"Judge Curiel and his family epitomize the American Dream,” Praeli said in the statement released Friday morning. “The fact that Donald Trump doesn't see Judge Curiel and his family as Americans makes him unfit to be president of this great nation, a nation of immigrants. In Trump's version of America, this Latino family isn't really American. But they are America.”
