The footage above examines Trump’s racist comments (and tweets) throughout his campaign, including his anti-semitic attack on Clinton and his refusal to disavow the KKK.

In the clip above, Trump says that “putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing” and that it was “too early” to ask him about equal pay for equal work.
The Republican nominee has said a lot of damning things throughout his time in the public spotlight. In fact, he has probably spewed more offensive things in the past year than most people do in a lifetime – from insulting the disabled to calling our military “a disaster.”
Trump is hoping people forget all these things. At their convention, Democrats are saying, “Not a chance.”
