Clinton breaks down her critique of Trump into five categories, the most incendiary of which is her depiction of him as a racist who is guilty of venting hate speech. “It’s hard to ignore the racial subtext of virtually everything Trump says,” she writes.

Referring to reports of Trump’s derision of Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries”, she writes: “Hate speech isn’t ‘telling it like it is’. It’s just hate.”

Her other categories are:

• “Assault on the rule of law.” Clinton accuses Trump of behaving as though he were above the law, saying that a “leader who refuses to be subject to the law … is a tyrant, plain and simple”.

• Threat to the legitimacy of US elections. Russian interference in the election process, combined with rampant voter suppression by Republicans, were undermining the sacred principle of one person, one vote.

• “War on truth and reason.” His attacks on the press and stream of false or misleading statements – 5,000 since he came to office according to a Washington Post count – were loosening the crucial democratic function of holding those in power to account.

• “Breathtaking corruption.” Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns or to put his business assets into a blind trust had “created unprecedented conflicts of interest … He’s profiting off the business of the presidency.”

 

Well if she does not know who would?

That’s funny, coming from a woman who stole furniture from the WH when her cheating husband and she left...

There’s two thing loose in her house.  Her husband’s morals and the screws in her head.

Also a seemingly classic example of the pot calling the kettle black.
