Hillary Clinton Ties Donald Trump to Klan, White Supremacists, Alt-Right in New Ad, Speech

From: Towleroad
A new Hillary Clinton ad posted hours before a speech on the same topic ties Donald Trump to the racist, white supremacist, ‘Alt-Right’.

The ad comes as Trump is trying to persuade voters that he is exactly the opposite.

The Washington Post reports:

Clinton’s team knows that. It knows what he’s trying to do and it thinks it knows how to undercut it. Clinton’s ad also isn’t targeting nonwhite voters — she’s hoping to remind wavering Republicans of one of the reasons they were wavering in the first place. Trump is hoping to drive past these concerns; Clinton is trying to toss an anchor around his trailer hitch.
This is Trump’s main problem as the clock ticks down. Can he now, after a year-plus of making arguments that some racists did find appealing, redefine himself in the eyes of observers?

Clinton gave a major speech on this topic yesterday at a community college in Reno, Nevada:

Accordingly, one of Mrs. Clinton’s challenges will be explaining the “alt-right” to a national audience that may have little familiarity with it. Her campaign has accused the ideology’s proponents of “embracing extremism and presenting a divisive and dystopian view of America.”
