From WaPo:

“Donald Trump has shown us who he is, and we ought to believe him,” the Democratic nominee told host Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night on CNN. “He is taking a hate movement mainstream. He’s brought it into his campaign. He’s bringing it to our communities and our country.”

To underscore her argument, Clinton’s campaign on Thursday released a video depicting Ku Klux Klan members and white supremacists who are supporting Trump, warning that if the Republican nominee wins, they and others who are part of the alt-right “could be running the country.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...3f1ade-6a78-11e6-8225-fbb8a6fc65bc_story.html

Trying to link Trump to the KKK is utterly despicable. Shameful.

Trump tried to link Cruz's father to the JFK assassination. He's hinted that Clinton might be assassinated by a 2nd amendment supporter. He attacked some of his GOP rivals looks and 'eating habits'. And on and on and on.

When it comes to personal attacks the man has no boundaries.

So I find it odd and a little funny when his opponents attack him that Trump, and his supporters become offended. Supposedly he is where he is because of his 'gloves off' and 'tell it like it is' style. But that's only a 1-way street? When talking about trump his opponents suppose to be civil and polite?

No, that's not how it works. If he's going to throw crap he's going to get it thrown back at him.

If he wants respect he must be respectful. The way he's acted and ran his campaign he doesn't deserve respect from anyone.
 
I don't find anything about this funny; I find it reprehensible.

They aren't linked? While The Donald might not have sought out their endorsement but he got it meaning they agree with his POV.
 
And I can see why. But that doesn't make this right.

This isn't the 1st time, it's the 3rd.
Guilt by association and plenty of people will fall for it.
 
Clinton is officially at the bottom of her bag of tricks. "You're a racist", is absolutely the last resort for Libbos.
 
Well, I hope this is the bottom. It's still August.
 
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks. Just saying...

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has received more than $20,000 in donations contributed by members of the Ku Klux Klan, a prominent member of the hate group said Monday.
“For the KKK, Clinton is our choice,” said Will Quigg, California Grand Dragon for the Loyal White Knights, Vocativ reported.

Mr. Quigg, the leader of the Klan’s California chapter, announced last month that he had abandoned supporting Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump in lieu of backing his likely Democratic opponent. The Klansman claims that members have raised more than $20,000 for Mrs. Clinton and have donated it anonymously to her campaign.

“All the stuff she’s saying now, she’s saying so she can get into office, OK?” Mr. Quigg said. “She doesn’t care about illegal immigrants — she’s acting like she does so she can get into office. Once she’s in office, then she’ll implement her policies. She’s a Democrat. The Klan has always been a Democratic organization.”

Mr. Trump “couldn’t run this country more than he could run a county,” Mr. Quigg told Vocativ. “He knows nothing about politics, or about foreign affairs. He went to Israel and almost got thrown out.”

On the other hand, crooked, lying Hillary's campaign has denied the whole thing.
 
With her pay for play business getting more attention and Trump threatening to expose the Dens as only caring abou black people during election years Hillary had to sling some sticky mud to distract from her criminal activities.

I hope most people see it for the look over there distraction it is.

Lots of people agree with some of Trump's POVs, and they aren't members of the KKK. Yikes.

I never said otherwise, are you trying to act as if I did?
 
Says the well known man hating bitch. :lol:

Whatever Clinton.
 
I have one question. Is Hillary insulting black people's intelligence by trying to link him to the Klan?

One more time I did not say that, but I did say that they did obviously find something that they like about him. Do try sticking to what I actually post not what you think I said.

You said they were linked.
Other than agreeing on something, that's about the extent of their "link" and because we don't have any more information about that, we can't assume much else.

You don't have to like Don Trump and you can also disagree with petty logical fallacies, like Hillary is using.

So what? No one claimed that he started it.

He used his national bully pulpit to promote it and keep it alive on a much larger scale than it had been before.

The post I replied to did.
 
But this thread is about Hillary Clinton's ad linking Trump to the KKK/hate groups.
