Hillary Clinton is speaking today in Reno, Nevada to highlight Donald Trump's white supremacist ties and racist message.
We're livebloggling her speech here, and you can watch a livestream at this link.
Considering who he’s associating with, that’s a problem because….?
Details the international threat he poses: “He talks casually of abandoning our NATO allies, recognizing Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and of giving the Kremlin a free hand in Eastern Europe more generally. American presidents from Truman to Reagan have rejected the kind of approach Trump is taking on Russia. We should, too.” Says he’s encouraging the “paranoid fringe in our politics.”
“No one should have any illusions about what’s really going on here. The names may have changed… Racists now call themselves “racialists.” White supremacists now call themselves “white nationalists.” The paranoid fringe now calls itself “alt-right.” But the hate burns just as bright.
And now Trump is trying to rebrand himself as well. Don’t be fooled.”
Quotes Mexican proverb: “’Tell me with whom you walk, and I will tell you who you are.’ We know who Trump is. A few words on a teleprompter won’t change that.”
Talks about the message Trump is sending to children, the “Trump effect” that parents and teachers are talking about, how school bullying is increasing, targeted at children of color. Quotes a school principal in Iowa: “They see it in a presidential campaign and now it's OK for everyone to say this.” “We wouldn’t tolerate that kind of behavior in our own homes. How can we stand for it from a candidate for president?”
“The party of Lincoln has become the party of Trump.” Tells Republicans they have to change this. “It’s a moment of reckoning for all of us who love our country and believe that America is better than this. Twenty years ago, when Bob Dole accepted the Republican nomination, he pointed to the exits and told any racists in the Party to get out.” Talks about Bush II and McCain, fighting against anti-Muslim paranoia and rhetoric. “We need that kind of leadership again.” Good luck there.
“With your help, I will be a President for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. For those who vote for me and those who don't.”
