Hillary Clinton phoned into AC360 on Wednesday night and wasted no time in demolishing Donald Trump’s new favorite talking point – that she is a “bigot.”
When Anderson Cooper asked her about it, Clinton laughed off the ridiculous attack and explained to voters, specifically those in the minority community, just how phony the Republican nominee’s recent minority outreach is.

Hillary Clinton responds to Donald Trump calling her a bigot by saying Trump is “taking a hate movement mainstream” https://t.co/8ilwBAhFQ8

Clinton said:
He is taking a hate movement mainstream; he’s brought it into his campaign. He’s bringing it to our communities and our country. Someone who has questioned the citizenship of the first African-American president; who has courted white supremacists; who has 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 peddling bigotry and prejudice and paranoia. I will have more to say about this tomorrow when I give a speech in Reno.
Donald Trump’s record when it comes to minority voters – whether it’s his comments throughout the course of this campaign or his actions during his business career – is very clear.
All Clinton had to do was rattle off a list of things the Republican nominee has actually said and done – no exaggeration necessary. He may spend the next 75 days pivoting, but the Democratic nominee will make sure voters don’t forget who Trump really is.
Clinton will likely address this and many other aspects of Trump’s disturbing campaign in a major speech in Nevada on Thursday.
