CLINTON CALLS TRUMP SUPPORTERS ‘RACIST’ KLANSMEN
RSBN ^ | 8/25/16 | RSBN staff

Posted on 08/25/2016 12:05:37 PM PDT by Signalman

An ad released Thursday by Hillary Clinton’s campaign makes the case that Donald Trump is the candidate of racists, white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

“The reason a lot of Klan members like Donald Trump is because a lot of what he believes, we believe in,” a robed man identified as the Imperial Wizard of the Rebel Brigade Knights of the Ku Klux Klan says at the top of the video, followed by images of a Confederate flag fluttering in the wind, Trump waving after a speech, and a man performing a Hitler salute at what appears to be a Trump rally.

The video’s release comes on the same day that Clinton is scheduled to deliver a speech on the so-called “alt-right” political movement, which has formed much of Trump’s base from the beginning of his campaign. In the video, an unidentified voice labels the alt-right as “the sort of dressed-up-in-suits version of the neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements.”

The video specifically attacks newly hired Trump campaign CEO Steve Bannon over his previous job running Breitbart News, widely considered to be the most prominent alt-right media outlet. An unnamed member of a CNN panel attacks Bannon as “a campaign chair that ran a website that has become a field day for the alt-right, which is racist and all sorts of other ‘ists.’”

Trump’s campaign quickly issued a statement in response to the video from Mark Burns, a pastor with close ties to the campaign who spoke at the Republican National Convention last month in Cleveland. Burns said the video represented a “disgusting new low” for Clinton and her campaign.

As distasteful as so much of the campaigning is, the headline of this article seems to have exaggerated what was actually said. Not good media, no matter which side one is on.

I bet if that doesn't work, she will call him a Nazi. Totally, no one has EVER tried that and I bet it will totally work and scare people into believing her...

The 90's called and want their campaign script back...

The Sept-Nov timeframe 2016 is where the rubber meets the road.

There are no points for second place.

She’s becoming more and more desperate.

Despite what the loaded polls and biased media are telling you, Hellary is losing. And you bet she knows it.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

Only lily livered snowflakes give a damn about what Hillary says.

This is exactly how Obama views anyone who opposes him. Christians, Veterans, small business owners, gun rights people, libertarians, conservatives, patriotic Americans, coal miners, oil people, etc.

Let’s see if it works. Rush seemed to say it will not tarnish Trump among his followers, but I am concerned how the media will take up the charge and megaphone it from now until election day.

Tell the Hitlery and its sycophants to get back to us when the Trump supporters start throwing rocks, bottles, and molotov cocktails, rioting, looting, harassing pedestrians and motorists, blocking highways and access to services, burning down homes, businesses, and city blocks, assaulting, raping, and murdering innocent people, and even shooting police officers.

You know, like Hellary supporters.

After the Republican Party freed the slaves, the Democrat Party formed the KKK to keep the newly freedmen in their place.

If the American people want a look at nazism, all they have to do is take a look at the Obama administration, including Hillary. They are allowing ISIS to commit barbaric gencodie against thousands of men, women and children. The USA is standing by while children are being tortured, blown up, and beheaded all around the world. Christians in the ME are subjects of being burned alive. The greatest nation on earth turns its back, sleeping soundly in their beds at night while people are being targeted the same way Jews were, no different than what was allowed to happen at the hands of Nazis.

I love the smell of desperation in the morning.

If Trump’s people think this is a “new low” even for Clinton, they ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Sounds like the crown is beginning to slip off the head her Hillary-ness.

I hope Hillary says something like this in debate so Trump can point out that the KKK was the military wing of the Democratic Party. Then let the gibbering commentators try and fact check that. Extending slavery to every State and territory, a segregated military and civil service, Jim Crow laws, blacks barred from voting or attending normal universities, segregated service facilities up to and including drinking fountains, these were all foundational policies of the Democratic Party.

"... into believing her..."

Do the math. That would be a Klan of over 170 million people.

Nothing there to believe in.
